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 devoted my law practice to representing individuals in all manner of workplace disputes, from litigating discrimination and retaliation cases, to filing agency charges, to negotiating severance arrangements. I am also one of few lawyers in Northeast Ohio with experience and expertise in unemployment compensation law.. In addition to my law practice, I also do independent workplace investigations and I have a workplace coaching practice, where I work with individuals who have performance or behavioral issues in the workplace, assisting them to contribute more effectively in all aspects of their work, focusing primarily on communication skills and social + emotional intelligence. I participated in the Coach Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.. This blend of lawyering and coaching gives me a unique perspective on workplace issues and disputes, and allows me to work with clients in a way that is relational, empathetic, and client-centered.

I have been practicing family law for over 29 years in the Cleveland area. My philosophical approach to this practice is to do all that I can to maximize the financial outcome for my client while minimizing the emotional trauma which divorce causes.. To implement this approach I prepare my client's case, both the financial aspects and custodial aspects when minor children are involved. I develop a strategy and organize the details. Creating a solution that meets my client's needs is my goal. This may be accomplished by negotiation or a more collaborative process in which my client and I meet with his or her spouse and their attorney with an eye toward exploration of all of the various possible schemes of resolution in consideration of the circumstances of their situation.. I have also successfully resolved my clients' cases through trial, which is sometimes necessary. As a consequence, I approach settlement negotiations with an eye on what would be a good outcome for my client if the matter is litigated. Someone who is facing a divorce needs an attorney with the skills to both bring a case through trial and\or negotiate a good settlement and who knows how to exercise their judgment collaboratively with their client to choose which course to pursue at any given time.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) attorney and community advocate. I have been fighting for justice for immigrants for over decade, volunteering with various organizations and serving on boards of immigrant rights non-profits. Through this activism, I decided to study the law. Now, I practice client-centered criminal immigration law with a focus on achieving and maintaining lawful immigration status.. About half of my practice is removal defense, defending those who are at risk of deportation and separation from their families if they are unable to prove they qualify for a form of immigration relief.

Working hand-in-hand with my clients, we are able to identify the best path forward, and I consistently achieve positive results for my clients.. Personal Biography:. I come from humble origins. I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I lived in Oklahoma and Missouri for most of my childhood. I hardly knew my biological father and grew up with a single mother during my formative years. I was adopted by my stepfather at the age of nine. I grew up without inherited wealth, connections to the educated and powerful, or an understanding about legal, political, and economic systems. I remember my family's struggle to advocate for ourselves in a world that too often exploits those who do not understand our legal system.. I went to college at Southeast Missouri State University on a full-tuition scholarship, where I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Sciences in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. During my time there, I studied for a semester in Madrid, Spain in the Hispanic Studies program at the Universidad Antonio de Nebrija. I was the first in my family to graduate from college.. After working ten years as a labor and community organizer and political director in New Mexico and Colorado, I decided to go to law school. I earned a Juris Doctorate and a Certificate in Constitutional Rights and Remedies from the University of Denver, where I studied as a Provost's Scholar. While there, I focused my studies on immigraiton law, criminal defense, and civil rights.. These experiences inform my work, and I pride myself in going above and beyond for my clients. I haven't forgotten my family roots or my experience later as a young man navigating higher education and employment alone with no guidance. Eventually I found my way as a labor and community organizer and political director. There, I learned how systems work and how to leverage them. As your attorney, I will use all of the tools (legal, community, and political) at my disposal to advocate for you if you trust me to do this important work for you and your family.
