Surviving The Law is a memoir by Jose Campos, a lawyer who immigrated to the United States. It chronicles his journey from arriving as a young boy with little more than hope in his pocket to becoming a successful lawyer, all while navigating the complexities of the American immigration system.

The title is a bit ironic. It refers to the constant feeling of being "outside the law" that many immigrants experience, especially those facing deportation or struggling with complex legal processes. Jose's story highlights the struggles of navigating an often confusing and intimidating system, while also emphasizing the importance of fighting for justice and equality for all immigrants.

While immigration law is a major theme, the book delves into broader themes of identity, family, resilience, and the pursuit of the American Dream. It's a story about overcoming adversity, finding strength in community, and fighting for what you believe in.

This book will resonate with anyone who has experienced the challenges of being an immigrant, those interested in immigration law and policy, and those who simply enjoy compelling and well-written stories of hope and resilience. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the human side of immigration and the complexities of the American dream.

Surviving The Law is not just a legal narrative. It's a deeply personal story filled with humor, emotion, and raw honesty. Jose’s personal struggles, triumphs, and insights make for a powerful and relatable reading experience.
