Among her most notable achievements, Mrs. Cancio was recognized as the Best Immigration Law Firm in Florida last year (2025) and remains a contender for the award again this year. She takes particular pride in guiding immigrants through complex legal processes and helping them secure legal status in difficult situations where they had lost hope. These accomplishments underscore her extensive knowledge in immigration law, visa and citizenship matters, family petitions and removal proceedings.

Prior to founding her own practice, Mrs. Cancio served as a law clerk at Del Pino & Associates, P.A. in Coral Gables from 2021 to 2023.

The foundation of Mrs. Cancio's career is deeply rooted in her family's immigrant experience. Inspired by her parents' successful journeys from Cuba—her father arriving by boat and her mother through legal channels—and motivated by her grandfather's unfulfilled dream of obtaining legal residency, she chose immigration law as both a profession and personal mission. This legacy continues to drive her commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of U.S. immigration processes.
