What we handle
Ghoshal Law PLLC is a boutique law firm in Austin, Texas, and our practice is limited to one thing: United States immigration law. Founder and Principal Attorney Snigdha Ghoshal came to the United States herself more than three decades ago, and she has built a firm around that experience, one that represents individuals, families and employers across the country and abroad. Our team works in English, Bengali, Hindi, Spanish and German, and every case starts with the same question: what does the law actually allow here, and what is the strongest way to use it.
