I  received my B.A. degree from the University of Oregon, graduating summa cum laude, in 2002. I then earned my J.D. degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2005. I am admitted to practice law in both Georgia and Oregon. Ilived in Oaxaca, Mexico for two years during my undergraduate studies and as a result speak, read and write fluent Spanish.  I am the husband to the best wife ever, and the father of four great kids.

I have been practicing Immigration Law for over 31 years.  During that time I have successfully represented thousands of clients before US Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly INS), Immigration Court, Board of Immigration Appeals and the U.S. Federal District and Appellate Courts.  My case, Barton v. Barr, 18-725, No. was argued in the U.S. Supreme Court, Novermber 4, 2019.  I have won 6 published precedential immigration cases in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and numerous other unpublished cases, which is more than any other lawyer or firm to date.  I have built a full service Immigration Law Firm, The Fogle Law Firm, LLC, on the reputation of great service and proven results.  We have offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston and Los Angeles and there are 5 lawyers who handle cases nationwide.  Please feel free to contact me or my firm for any of your immigration needs.

I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry,"  thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.. I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.. Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

I grew up in a small town called East Longmeadow, Massachusetts.  After spending a semester at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel and traveling some weeks after that through Europe, I graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelors Degree in Politics with a minor in Legal Studies.. After I received my Juris Doctor from Georgia State University, I went on to practice in various fields of law but in 2006 entered the ever changing world of immigration law  and found I most enjoyed helping people achieve the American Dream and remain in this country through employment based immigration, family based immigration and some even through a positive result in a removal hearing.

I first came to Atlanta to study chemical engineering at Georgia Tech. After working for a while in the consumer products research and development field, I decided it was time to change gears. I attended law school at night while continuing to work as an engineer, and have not looked back since. The engineer in me always gets a thrill out of analyzing complex situations and formulating thorough and thoughtful solutions, but what I enjoy most about the practice of law is getting to meet new people, hear their stories, and help them see their goals realized.

I am both an attorney in France where I am admitted to the Paris Court of Appeals, and in the United States where I am a member of the State Bar of Georgia. I advise clients on current immigration legislation, handling nonimmigrant and immigrant visa applications and regularly attend interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service field Offices nationwide. I also represent clients before the immigration courts in removal proceedings as well as refugees in their asylum applications. In addition,I litigate cases before the Board of Immigration Appeals and before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

I am an Atlanta Immigration Attorney specialized in handling Family Immigration and Humanitarian Immigration Relief.

I am a licensed active attorney in the state of Georgia, I am a graduate of Washington University School of Law where i recieved my LLM in Tax Law, Stetso University Where I recieved my LLM in International Law and the Charlotte School of Law where i recieved my J.D. I enjoy Corproate / Business Law, Immigration, Tax Law, Family Law and International Law.
