If you are a recent immigrant to South Florida, you have likely walked a long and difficult road to get here. Yet Miami-Dade and Broward Counties are made up of immigrants – Russians, Ukrainians, Central and South Americans…the list is extensive. After all, Miami is a global crossroads where Bogotá, Kyiv, and Havana meet on the same block.
We understand that leaving behind your home, your culture, and the comfort of extended family is never easy. You have to learn English, find a good school for your children, learn new laws, and face an immigration process that was designed to test your patience. Most of your energy has gone into building a stable life in Florida, finding work, and keeping everything as “normal” as possible for you and your family.
Now that you are here, it is time to face a new reality: meeting with an estate planning attorney who can explain the financial laws, inheritance laws, and tax laws that affect you and your children. U.S. laws treat immigrants differently – especially if you have young children, real estate property, or savings. The laws can be complicated, but the good news is that you do not have to face them alone. Our law firm has attorneys who speak Spanish, Russian, and English, and we understand both the legal system and the personal journey that brings immigrants here. We are here to help you organize your future — with heart, not just paperwork.

We are Natasha Chipiga and Fernando Orrego, attorneys-at-law. Our clients span the world, but our main office is in Hollywood, Florida. We both came to the United States at a young age with our parents. Fernando’s family is from Colombia; Natasha’s family is from Moscow, Russia. Our first clients were our parents. We quickly learned to speak English and helped our parents navigate the legal and financial systems and all the red tape that comes with it.
We are an exceptional law firm dedicated to estate planning, probate, and Medicaid strategies. We can explain the laws to every immigrant that has come to America and plans to “grow old” here in sunny South Florida. We are here to give you peace of mind.
