Wilson Law Group LLC

Focus and practice areas

Wilson Law Group is an immigration law firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The firm was founded in 2003 and works with individuals and businesses. It is based in one city, yet it serves clients across the United States.

Immigration is the whole of the firm's work, and the range within it is wide. On the family side, the firm files petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings, and it handles fiancé applications. It also takes on citizenship and naturalization matters for clients moving toward US citizenship.

The employment side covers executives, specialty occupation workers, investors, company transferees, and seasonal workers. That mix suggests the firm can sit on both sides of a case: the person applying and the business sponsoring. In my opinion, a practice that keeps family and employment work under one roof tends to suit clients whose situations do not fit one neat category.

The harder cases the firm takes

Not every immigration matter is a straightforward form. The firm's list of services reaches into the parts of the field where the stakes climb. It handles deportation defense, asylum, and waivers. It also does federal litigation and appeals, which means the firm is set up to argue cases in court, not only to file paperwork.

There is a humanitarian strand as well. The firm advises on protections under the Violence Against Women Act, and it works with trafficking and crime victims on the benefits available to them. It also covers DACA, Temporary Protected Status, and military immigration programs.

Green cards, consular processing, and employer compliance round out the offering. Taken together, the practice areas cover much of what a person or a company might need over the long arc of an immigration case. As a reviewer, I read that breadth as a sign the firm is built to keep a client rather than hand them off when a matter turns complicated.

How the team is built

The firm names its attorneys in tiers, and the structure is easy to follow. David L. Wilson is the founder and managing attorney. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of St. Thomas in 1993 and a Juris Doctor cum laude from William Mitchell College of Law in 1997. He has taught immigration law as adjunct faculty at Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

Cassondre K. Buteyn is the lead attorney. Her work covers affirmative and defensive applications before the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of State. She concentrates on permanent residence and immigrant visas, naturalization, and U visas, and she assists families with related matters.

Senior and associate ranks

Three attorneys hold senior titles: Andra Garcia, Cameron Giebink, and Lee Anne Mills. Giebink earned a Bachelor of Arts in global studies and political science from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and a Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2021. He served as managing editor of the Mitchell Hamline Law Review.

The associate ranks add five more names: Gabriela Anderson, Clara Fleitas-Langford, Molly McKinsey, Olivia Katherine Anderson-Petroske, and Arielle Prèle. Legal assistants, law clerks, and administrative staff support the attorneys. A team of this depth gives the firm room to spread work across cases without leaning on a single lawyer.

Language access and reach

Immigration work often turns on whether a client can be understood in their own language. The firm offers legal services in French, Spanish, Mandarin, Swedish, and Vietnamese. That is a practical detail, and it matters more in this field than in most.

For a client who is more comfortable outside English, being able to discuss a case directly with the firm removes a layer of friction. It also lowers the risk of small misunderstandings in filings where precision counts. The five languages, paired with a nationwide client base, point to a firm that expects to work with people from many backgrounds.

What the record shows

The firm has practiced immigration law since 2003, which puts more than two decades behind its name. That length of time in a single field carries weight, because immigration rules shift often and experience with the changes is hard to fake. The firm has stayed focused on one area rather than spreading across unrelated practices.

What stands out to me is the combination: a founder who has taught the subject, a lead attorney working across the main federal agencies, and a bench of senior and associate lawyers behind them. The firm pairs that team with courtroom capability through its litigation and appeals work. For a client weighing where to bring an immigration matter, those are the details worth checking, and the firm states them plainly.

The public information does not include client counts, case outcomes, or rankings, so this review does not reach those. What the firm does show is a clear practice, a named team, and a set of services that covers family, employment, humanitarian, and defense work. On that basis, Wilson Law Group presents as a settled immigration practice with the staff and the subject focus to match its range.
