Stephanie Durazno-Pineda

CASE MANAGER

Stephanie Durazno-Pineda earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and joined Zimmer Law Group in July 2025. She is fluent in both Spanish and English, which has been instrumental in connecting with and serving our diverse client base. Her passion for immigration law stems from a personal experience. Stephanie helped her mother navigate her own immigration process, inspiring her to learn and support others in similar situations. She previously interned at CLUES in St. Paul, where she engaged with members of the community, and worked at an immigration law firm before joining Zimmer. Stephanie finds fulfillment in guiding clients through every step of their process, ensuring they feel informed, supported, and ultimately secure along the way. She particularly enjoys working on adjustment of status and naturalizations. Her cultural background and frequent visits to Ecuador have deepened her appreciation for her roots, and time spent abroad in Europe broadened Stephanie's global perspective. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, spending time with loved ones, and traveling.
