Temitope Christianah Awoyode

I am Temi Awoyode-Adu, but my clients often refer to me as Temi. I am not just an Immigration and Estate Planning Attorney; I have personally navigated the challenging journey that many of my clients are currently facing.

More than ten years ago, I sought legal status in the U.S. After a paid consultation, I was informed that I had no viable options and subsequent follow-ups were met with silence. Rather than surrendering to defeat, I took on the challenge of representing myself. Armed with a legal education from UC Berkeley and the University of Ibadan, I fought for my rights and succeeded. This victory ignited the passion that drives my practice at Alpha Bloom Law today.

I am recognized for my meticulous legal strategies, compassionate advocacy, and impressive success rate. Whether I am assisting families with green cards, EB1A, U-visa, T-visa, waivers, VAWA, or aiding parents in safeguarding their assets through estate planning, I approach every case with clarity, structure, and empathy.

I am licensed to practice in New York, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. My work has been acknowledged with several accolades including:

10 Best Attorneys (2019)

Top 40 Under 40 Black Attorney (2020)

Top-Ranked Immigration Attorney (2022)

Multiple Avvo Clients’ Choice Awards

However, what my clients most often recall is the feeling of being heard, understood, and protected when working with me.

I am also deeply committed to giving back, especially to children from single-parent homes in Nigeria, a cause that is very dear to me.

Choosing to work with me means you are not just hiring an attorney; you are gaining a strategic partner and a fierce advocate who will stand by your side with compassion and purpose.
