Christopher Cabanillas is a trailblazer in the legal profession and a passionate advocate for the Latino community. As the founder and principal of Cabanillas & Associates, P.C., he has devoted his career to helping individuals and families navigate complex legal issues, including foreclosure defense litigation, real estate, and Immigration.
But, specifically it’s Cabanillas’ work with undocumented youth that truly sets him apart. He focuses his practice on the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) process, which provides a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants under the age of 21 who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents.
Through his tireless efforts, Cabanillas has helped countless young people obtain their legal status and secure a brighter future. He is changing lives every single day, and his impact is felt across the country.
Cabanillas’ dedication to this work is deeply personal. As the son of immigrants from Peru and Colombia, he knows firsthand the challenges that face immigrant youth and their families. He has made it his life’s mission to provide a voice for those who often feel voiceless and to ensure that everyone has access to the legal representation they deserve.
But Cabanillas’ work doesn’t stop there. He is also a dedicated supporter of El Centro Hispano, a nonprofit organization that helps immigrant families in White Plains, New York, and serves on the Board of Directors of Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, which provides free legal advice to those who cannot afford a lawyer.
Cabanillas’ commitment to his community has earned him numerous accolades, including proclamations from the City of White Plains, Westchester County, and New York State. Despite his success, Cabanillas remains grounded, always putting the needs of his clients and community first. He is a true hero for undocumented youth and a shining example of what one person can achieve when they commit themselves to making a difference.
