Nelson Jaramillo is very proud of his family background. His parents were born in Quito, Ecuador. His father went from a visa overstay detained by ICE to the highest status possible in his chosen profession - working as an aerospace engineer for NASA, with a seat in mission control. Nelson studied Aerospace Engineering then government at the University of Texas at Austin, then went to Baylor Law School and began his career as an attorney by being in-house counsel for Exxon Corporation. However, because of his innate drive to help people, Nelson stepped away from the in-house practice of law and ultimately found his calling as an immigration attorney and opened his own firm in 2012. Joining The Buitron Law Firm has been wonderful for him and has allowed him to help people trying to navigate the removal and affirmative immigration systems in order to reach their best possible results.
