Shelby Woolston, Esq.

Shelby was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. She left home to attend high school at an international boarding school in Rome, Georgia, where she developed a sincere appreciation for different perspectives and experiences, and understood the invaluable impact of diverse cultures in the United States. In 2018, Shelby moved to Uruguay and then Peru while pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in International and Global Studies. There she learned Spanish, and acquired worldly experiences that would ultimately form the foundation for her career in immigration. Upon returning to the United States after two years living in South America, Shelby interned at a non-profit immigration law firm in her hometown in Alaska, where she found her passion in immigration law during her last semester of college. Seeking a career in removal defense, Shelby moved to Miami in 2020 to attend law school at Florida International University College of Law. She has worked at Canizares Law Group for five years, including all through law school. Shelby is deeply passionate about the work we do and takes great pride in ensuring our clients receive the best possible representation in their immigration cases.
