Verónica Olvera
Executive director and managing attorney
Verónica grew up in Garden City, where her parents worked at the beef plant. She started Wheatland after watching neighbors pay for forms they did not need.
She leads the clinic's family and work-permit cases and answers questions at the Saturday pantry table. Clients say she tells them plainly what she can do, what she cannot, and what each step will cost before they decide.
She speaks Spanish and English with equal ease, and she is the attorney responsible for this website.
