KIMBERLY TOMCZAK

Kimberly is a founding partner of Gian-Grasso & Tomczak Immigration Law Group.

Kimberly believes that everyone deserves to build a life where they feel safe, secure, and can have the best future for their families. This belief drives her advocacy and relationships with her clients.

Kimberly’s primary practice is removal defense in the Immigration Court, where she most commonly represents asylum seekers, those applying for cancellation of removal, and adjustment of status. She has taught Asylum & Refugee Law as an Adjunct Professor at Widener University, Delaware Law School from 2020-2021.

Kimberly also represents individuals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and Federal Circuit Courts.

In addition to her removal practice, Kimberly represents individuals and families applying for affirmative benefits with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). Some applications include family-based I-130 Petitions, Adjustment of Status, Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions (SIJ) and Custody Petitions in Philadelphia, VAWA Petitions for Victims of Domestic Violence, U Visa Petitions for crime victims, Applications for Citizenship, Consular Processing, Fiancé Visas, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Kimberly is also a legal adviser to the Mexican Consulate in Philadelphia, providing consultations to detained and non-detained Mexican Nationals, as well as direct representation in removal proceedings and affirmative applications

Kimberly obtained her Juris Doctorate at Temple University, Beasley School of Law in January 2011. She received her B.A. in Political Science and Spanish from LaSalle University in 2007. While attending LaSalle University, Kimberly participated in an exchange program which allowed her to spend a semester studying at LaSalle’s Mexico City campus. This experience allowed her to travel through much of Mexico and enhance her Spanish language fluency.

The immigrant experience is personal to Kimberly, as her mother was born in Scotland and she witnessed first-hand a loved one navigate the U.S. immigration system on their own. Her personal experience drives her to be a dedicated and compassionate advocate for her clients.

Kimberly is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), The Independence Business Alliance (IBA), and the Philadelphia Bar Association, where she is on the LGBT Rights Committee. Kimberly is fluent in Spanish.

Kimberly lives in Clifton, NJ with her wife, Lisa, their cat, Ruthie, and their dog, Lucy.
