Hector E. Quiroga is an immigration lawyer and partner at Quiroga Law Office, PLLC, with a listed office in Spokane Valley, Washington. His Washington State Bar Association profile identifies him as an active lawyer eligible to practice and records his admission on November 4, 2009. The firm identifies him as a co-founder, dating that role to July 2009. Quiroga’s earlier work included a Rule 9 law clerk position in the Washington Attorney General’s Office, Department of Labor and Industries, from April through December 2008. His responsibilities included preparing memoranda, pleadings and summary judgment motions, as well as presenting arguments in Spokane Superior Court. He also researched issues and prepared memoranda for arguments before the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals. That position involved legal research and writing directly for the Assistant Attorney General’s Spokane section chief. At World Relief, Quiroga prepared documents for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, including applications and appeals. He translated documents in both directions between Spanish and English and provided Spanish-language assistance with client intake and Cuban refugee cases. Quiroga came to the United States from Colombia in January 2000 without knowing English. He subsequently learned the language and completed undergraduate and law school programs at Gonzaga University. His firm biography also records that he became a U.S. citizen. Spanish is listed among his languages in the state bar directory.
