Before entering private practice, Juan was in public service with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and GAO's Office of Inspector General where he evaluated statutory and regulatory compliance across various Congressional Committees and federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and U.S. Copyright Office. Prior to GAO, Juan served with the White House Domestic Policy Council under the Obama Administration, where he worked on immigration policy and the President’s Task Force on New Americans, an interagency effort to develop a coordinated federal strategy to better integrate immigrants into our communities.
Juan has been recognized as a Top 100 "Most Active" Lawyer in Patexia's ITC Intelligence Report (2022 Edition), shortlisted as a Future Leader finalist in the 2022 North America Chambers Diversity & Inclusion Awards, and featured in "Your Invisible Network: How to Create, Maintain, and Leverage the Relationships That Will Transform Your Career," authored by Michael Urtuzuástegui Melcher.
