    I found an Immigracion law attorney in Miami, FL who is a member of the DC bar. this
    attorney has 4 offices in the Miami area. His name is Robert Sheldon, though I think he
    went to a traditional law school. He is not a FL bar member, and his website makes a
    disclaimer " only Immigration law practice", or soemthing like that. He also runs an
    Immigration Paralegal Institute(dba, Florida Paralegal Institue). This guy is a real
    success story. And he really likes to help the hispanic immigrant community, I called his
    offices they were very helpful.
    So I guess if you are get licensed in any state or territory you can practice
    Immigration Law in Florida.
