Tom and Indera DeMine talk professional and personal partnership
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2025) – 11 years ago, Tom and Indera DeMine met in the courtroom, and now they are both practicing attorneys and partners at DeMine Immigration Law Firm.
Indera DeMine individually founded DeMine Immigration eight and a half years ago. At the time, the man who became her husband, Tom DeMine, was a criminal defense attorney and they shared an office space.
“We have a shared vision,” said Tom DeMine. “We have a shared goal of helping people as much as we can.”
Eventually in 2020, the two decided to team up; Tom became the second DeMine attorney to bear the name of the immigration law firm. He recently celebrated his fifth anniversary as firm partner.
“We both have immigrant backgrounds, his mom was born in another country and became a naturalized citizen; same for me,” said Indera DeMine. “Immigration law is fulfilling when you help someone gain legal status in the U.S. It’s a type of law that definitely makes you feel like you are doing something good in the world.”
Now, the two share the responsibility of running the firm. They work together to ensure smooth operation of the firm’s caseload and overall business performance.
“Indera probably does carry more of the workload because she’s been an immigration attorney longer,” said Tom DeMine. “Even to this day, at least once a week, I still have to go to her and ask her a question. She has to not only answer my questions, but most people’s questions.”
Their partnership extends far beyond professionalism, they are also married and raise two sons together. They leverage each other’s skills to support and uplift one another.
“There’s two different things; one is lawyering and working the case and the other side is running the business,” said Indera DeMine. “I became a lawyer because I like the law and I like working on cases. That’s my strong suit, but Tom runs the business.”
“I think what we’re really good at is pulling on each other’s strengths,” said Indera DeMine. “From the time he joined our firm, we’ve grown tremendously.”
