Marc E. Christopher

Managing Attorney/Owner

I am inspired by immigrants’ stories. Every day, I witness my clients’ courage, resourcefulness, and love as they seek to make their life in the United States. I consider it an honor to be part of their journey.

Eloisa and I created our firm to use our skills and fight for justice in the immigrant community. Our one goal is to passionately advocate for our clients while treating everyone, including our opponents, with respect, honesty, and integrity.

So, armed only with a dream and two babies at home, we launched our law firm on a shoestring. Less than ten years later, our team represented clients before State Supreme Courts, Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and State Courts of Appeals.

Additionally, we have obtained successful verdict on many jury trials and helped individuals become Permanent Residents and US citizens. Our success at the appellate level has changed the law and hopefully our clients’ lives for the better.

No attorney can ever promise an outcome. I cannot change the facts of the law. However, I promise every client to use all my skills and knowledge to get the best results that I can.

Eloisa De León

Attorney/Owner

As a lawyer and proud daughter of immigrant parents, my professional and personal experiences gives me the drive and desire, even when it is hard, to provide my clients with the best opportunities for success in their case. My diverse legal experience as a former Assistant City Attorney, Municipal Court Commissioner, and legal counsel for the largest school system in Wisconsin, allows me to discover the fine details that can help strengthen a case for our clients by applying those skills in my immigration work. We also want to keep our clients and immigrant community informed so we frequently appear on news broadcasts and social media to share valuable information on immigration topics.
My goal is to help families stay united and to help immigrant families navigate through what is considered by many a complex legal process. I have personally been through the process with my parents and relatives and have first-hand knowledge of the experience of sitting in the chair as a client myself.
As a mother of two children myself, I understand that it takes strength and courage to be in the seat of a client-and that’s why I want to provide our clients with the highest professional service that carries along with it the highest ethical standards. We are transparent from the start and empower our clients with knowledge. I am proud of our legal team and our work and I would honored to serve as your attorney.

Alejandro Garcia Gonzalez

Legal Assistant

I am a Legal Assistant at Christopher & De Leon Law Office, where I work on both the Consular Process and Removal Defense teams. In my role, I assist with case building, client support, waiver preparation, and immigration matters involving families facing complex legal situations. Working directly with immigrant communities has strengthened my passion for advocacy and reinforced my commitment to pursuing a career in immigration and criminal law.

I am currently studying Political Science on a Pre-Law track with a minor in Spanish at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. My goal is to become an immigration and criminal defense attorney dedicated to advocating for immigrant communities and helping families navigate the legal system.

I am originally from Central Wisconsin and graduated from Tri-County Area Schools in Plainfield, Wisconsin. I am proud of my Mexican heritage, with family roots in Mexico City (CDMX) and Guanajuato. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, going to the gym, playing soccer, and supporting my favorite team, Club América.


Melanie Sanchez

Legal Assistant

I am a Legal Assistant at Christopher & De Leon Law Office, where I assist clients with family-based petitions, work permit renewals, green card renewals, and citizenship applications. My family’s experiences with immigration shaped my desire to work in this field. My goal is to help clients feel supported as they navigate a legal system that can often feel confusing and inaccessible.
I graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran College in 2025 with a degree in Politics and Law and a minor in Criminal Justice. In the future, I hope to continue working in immigration advocacy and policy, particularly by promoting policies that support family reunification.
Born and raised in Milwaukee, I feel a strong connection to the city and its diverse immigrant community. I am proud of my Hispanic heritage, with family roots in Jalisco, Mexico, and Chontales, Nicaragua. I hope my work can be a way of giving back to the community that shaped me.
I love trying new restaurants, writing reviews on Yelp, and spending time with my cats. I’m always looking for the next fun thing happening around the city, from a yoga class to a random local market.
