Flanagan Legal is a cutting-edge immigration law practice founded by John Flanagan to provide creative solutions to complex immigration challenges.

As a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law, John is well versed in all areas of immigration, with a focus on humanitarian and family-based immigration. Since graduating from U.C. Berkeley School of Law, John has represented families and individuals from all across the globe.

Far from shying away from tough cases, John firmly believes that everyone deserves safety and belonging, no matter their background or experience.

Prior to founding Flanagan Legal, John worked for six years at Becker & Lee LLP, a preeminent local immigration firm that was selected to participate in a federally-funded universal representation program for individuals with serious mental illness. Leveraging his preexisting criminal law background, John has developed an expertise in cases with a connection to mental health and criminal law.

At Flanagan Legal, clients are more than the worst thing that happened to them or that they have done. No matter the type of case, John brings a trauma-informed and non-judgmental approach to his work.

John is bilingual in French and has full professional working proficiency in Spanish.
