I represent clients in a variety of matters and am dedicated to each client right from the initial consultation. During this consultation I gather information from my client so that I know how to effectively defend them. From there, I keep an open communication with my clients and even utilize a client management software so that my client can fully see what is going on in their case.

I have lived the immigration process and not many lawyers can say that. My first exposure to the complexities of US immigration law occurred when I was empoyed by the United Nations High Commission of Refugees in a refugee camp in Thailand. In the mid 90's the immigration laws changed drastically, penalyzing families in the camp who had already been approved to live in the US for engaging in certain, how can i say, illicit behaviors.  Admissions were enough to disqualify families from being allowed to enter the US. This struck me as unfair and very unAmerican. It was during this period of time that i wanted to help those who were stuck in the immigration web.. My further contact with immigration law occurred some years later, again before i was an attorney when i petitioned for my wife for her residency in the United States.

I have 22 plus years worth of experience and pride myself in being able to give clients a valid and professional opinion regarding what they can reasonably expect to happen in their case.  While no attorney can guarantee an outcome, my experience and knowledge of the courts and prosecutors that I work with gives me a good basis to draw from.  I will sit down with you and explain the various options available based upon the circumstances of your specific case and let you make the decision that is best for you.. I receive a lot of referrals from former clients, family and friends and take this trust in my ability to do a good job very seriously.
