Years In Practice


Phone Number (818) 435-3500

Rita Sostrin is a founding partner of Sostrin Immigration Lawyers, LLP.  Prior to launching Sostrin Immigration Lawyers in 2010, she acquired over 15 years of immigration law experience working at top immigration law firms and served in various leadership positions on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).

Ms. Sostrin has become known as one of the leading experts in immigration law matters for individuals of extraordinary abilities.  Throughout her professional career, Ms. Sostrin has represented a diverse array of clients both nationally and globally, handling all aspects of employment-based immigration for leading academic institutions, medical centers, and entertainment companies, with a focus on visas for the immigration of individuals with extraordinary abilities.  Having established an impressive record of winning complex cases in this area of legal practice, she routinely speaks at national and regional conferences and writes for legal publications.

With growing restrictions on immigration policies, Ms. Sostrin’s experience and insight in managing intricate cases is more invaluable than ever to her clients, as well as fellow colleagues within the legal community who often seek her counsel.  In addition, she is frequently sought out by the national media to provide perspective and commentary on immigration policies, and has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg Law, Billboard, and National Public Radio.  In 2018, in recognition of Ms. Sostrin’s contributions to the field of immigration, Who’s Who of Corporate Immigration Lawyers bestowed on her the prestigious designation of “Thought Leader.”  With this distinction, she joins a select group of practitioners whom Who’s Who not only recognizes for their “expertise and experience advising on some of the world’s most significant and cutting-edge legal matters, but also their ability to innovate, inspire, and go above and beyond to deliver for their clients.”

In addition to Who’s Who, Ms. Sostrin is also listed in several other publications that feature top attorneys based on extensive peer review, including Chambers USA, The Best Lawyers in America, and U.S. News & World Report Best Lawyers.  She was also honored by AILA’s President’s Commendation for her outstanding service.  She is a member of AILA’s USCIS Headquarters Benefits Policy Committee, board member of the International Medical Graduate (IMG) Taskforce, and senior editor of Immigration Practice Pointers.  Over the years, Ms. Sostrin has served as the chair of AILA’s California Service Center Liaison Committee, member of AILA’s Business Immigration Response Team and Service Center Operations Committee, vice-chair of AILA’s Healthcare Professionals/Physicians Committee, and vice-chair of AILA’s Board of Publications. She has authored numerous articles on immigration issues and served as an editor for several definitive books and publications, including Kurzban’s Immigration Law Sourcebook.

Ms. Sostrin earned a B.A. in international relations from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota and a J.D. from Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ms. Sostrin is admitted to practice law before the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Minnesota. She practices exclusively in federal immigration law.
