Eyzuri Segovia Sanchez is an Associate Attorney with Milla and Associates, LLC who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge as someone who has been with the firm since 2015. Eyzuri was born and raised in Mexico, and her experiences as an immigrant help her understand clients’ needs and concerns from personal and legal perspectives. She is not only compassionate but committed to strategizing and carrying out a successful path for clients. In doing so, she has a special ability to guide her clients through the various stages of cases from planning to obtaining long-awaited approvals.

Eyzuri joined Milla and Associates in 2015 as a paralegal. In that role and as a BIA accredited representative, she was an integral part of obtaining successful results in complex cases before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration Courts across the U.S., Board of Immigration Appeals, and U.S. Department of State offices around the world. From her extensive caseload over the years, she is adept at spotting issues and guiding clients through removal (“deportation”) defense, asylum, benefits under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), U visas, I-601A provisional hardship waivers and I-601 hardship waivers, adjustment of status to permanent resident (“green card”), naturalization (“citizenship”), and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

In 2020, Eyzuri earned her juris doctor degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law.

She also excelled in the immigration law courses offered at Chicago-Kent, earned an externship at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), and was an active officer of the Chicago-Kent Chapters of the ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, and Immigration Law Society. Of note, Eyzuri was among a small group of law students selected to travel to Dilley, Texas for the CARA Pro Bono Project in 2019 to assist asylum seekers in need of legal help at the U.S. southern border. With such valuable firsthand experience helping immigrants, Eyzuri's resolve to be a strong immigration advocate solidified.

  • Best immigration Lawyer

    “Robert is very knowledgeable, kind & approachable as well as his staff. From Sylvia to Daniel, they’re always very nice in answering all my concerns. I had no trouble with my USCIS interview because their team made sure that me & my husband were prepared. Robert was highly recommended to me by a Lawyer i know. I’m glad i took her advice and went to seek Roberts assistance regarding my marriage based green card. Got my approval the same day after the interview. I will be getting his assistance with all my immigration concerns including my childrens petition. I highly recommend Robert! He’s the best! 😊👍🏻”

  • Very satisfied, i have other petitions too, the fight is not ...

    “At first i was curious of what Lawyers (in general) do to make their income and i wasn't impressed until i see the result, that is just being me (Marine Vet). I learned that he is half Filipino, but that didn't change my opinion about lawyers even if he is a son of a fellow Marine Vet. With his high caliber of knowledge in/on immigration law, he walks and talks with the mission on his every foot steps. I highly recommend him to every Filipino and Military Veterans. I have been petitioning my other siblings ever since my father passed away and i will have to call him again to save my day to bring my family here in USA just like what my father wants.”

  • Successful case for marriage-based green card

    “Milla & Associates delivers an incredible quality of legal representation and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Robert Milla, Tatiana Alonso, and their team. My husband and I entrusted them with my adjustment of status and green card application. Our case was handled very efficiently, they answered our questions at every stage and kept us informed of the next steps and developments throughout the process. Not only that, Robert is highly experienced and has an incredible understanding of immigration law on top of being genuine, personable and transparent. It is really hard to be able to find a good attorney that genuinely cares about the case, he is trustworthy, and I can tell that he does his work with his heart. My adjustment of status/green card was approved within a week from the interview, and I received my conditional green card in the mail a few days after receiving the approval notice. Robert and his team definitely made the entire process seamless. I would strongly recommend Robert Milla for anyone who is looking for a great immigration attorney and to be put in the best position possible with obtaining a green card. Thank you, Robert, for making my husband and I feel at ease as we navigated through uncharted waters. We are so grateful for you!”

  • Impressive work and professionalism.

    “My husband and I had a very complicated I601 and I212 waiver case and had to hire an attorney no matter what. We searched online for weeks trying to find the best one since we were living in Costa Rica and wanted an attorney from Chicago. We hired Robert after reading his impressive curriculum and experience, plus he did not have any issues with the bar. I am a Costa Rican citizen married to a USC. All of our communication was done over the phone and email but that didn't make it less personal. I am a complete "worrier", I worry about every single thing that can go wrong and I ask a ton of questions. He was always happy to answer them in a timely manner. With Robert's guidance and expertise we were able to put together a very strong argument as to why my husband couldn't live in Costa Rica and why he needed me with him. Although this is the truth, it is extremely hard to know how to accurately prove this to USCIS, you really have to know how the waiver process works and doing it without a responsible and honest lawyer is not what would recommend to ANYONE. Robert helped us file the waiver and it was approved today, November 21st 2013!!! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY, HANDS DOWN recommend Attorney Robert Milla for any immigration matter, he knows what he is doing and has the experience needed to win cases. My husband and I will be forever thankful to Robert for bringing us together again”

    “My husband and I have been working with Robert for many years and he has always been patient with us and will only do thing if were comfortable with them. He is very thorough and takes his time in explaining things, we could have not had a better attorney to assist us on my husband petition. He truly was blessing and we would recommend him to anyone!”

  • The BEST in Chicago Town!

    “I met a few lawyers for my Citizenship / N400 filing. My case was complicated and most of the lawyers I met were willing to do it but didn't give me the confidence that will go through. Finally I met Robert, who explained every single detail, chances of approval and course of action in case of a denial and how to proceed. Right then and there, i decided I wanted to go with him....Thank You Robert for all the help and for attending the interview with me...Decision was made in 30 days and I'm waiting to attend the Oath Ceremony now... Thank You!!”

  • The Best Lawyer

    “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Atty. Robert Milla, Ms. Sylvia and the rest of the staff of Milla Law firm. The team was of great help in processing my papers and documents, from the application of my Green Card until the application of my U.S. Citizenship. Not to mention how patient Mr. Robert Milla was when answering my questions and paying attention into knotting all the loose ends to make sure that everything goes well for me to achieve the outcome I was aiming for. I would definitely recommend Robert Milla Law Firm not only for his compassion and empathetic demeanor in relating to his clients but also because of his undeniable skills in handling cases in immigration. His assistants are also commendable for being so helpful and attentive. Until now I'm still overwhelmed that I immediately got the schedule of my Oath Taking Ceremony few days after my interview for the application of my U.S. Citizenship. I have no regrets in seeking legal help and advice from this office, and I will definitely hire their service for the petition of my family.”
