Licensed in both Brazil and the United States, Dr. Andrea Bowers, partner at Andrade & Bowers Law Firm, is now recognized as one of the most respected professionals in the field of immigration law — a reputation that includes her nomination as one of the Top 10 Immigration Trial Lawyers in the U.S. Her work stands out for its combination of technical rigor, strategic vision, and an uncommon level of commitment to each client, a hallmark that has defined her entire career.
Graduating in 2007 from UNIJORGE (BA), Andrea built a solid career in corporate law in Brazil, a period that includes her time at one of the state’s largest law firms, MMC&Zariff, before opening her own practice. This strong corporate background would become the foundation for the international expansion that followed in the next decade.
The turning point came when she earned her LL.M. in Business Law from the University of Texas at Austin, an institution ranked among the top 15 law schools in the United States. In the same year, she achieved a rare feat among foreign attorneys: passing the Texas Bar Exam, proving her legal proficiency in two jurisdictions.
A member of the Texas Bar and a speaker for AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association), Dr. Andrea is fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, which allows her to work directly and personally on cases involving immigrants from diverse backgrounds.
Today, as a partner at Andrade & Bowers Law Firm, she leads the firm’s immigration practice, handling complex proceedings ranging from defense cases in immigration courts to highly specialized petitions while also assisting families and professionals in achieving the American dream. Her work is defined by technical precision, ethics, and consistent results, solidifying her name as one of the most qualified voices on the subject within the international legal community.
