Mr. McGinty has had a few distinguished careers prior to becoming an attorney.  He joined the US Navy after high school. He got through one of the toughest schools in the military, and became a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer.  He was stationed in Japan and traveled all over the world.. After serving his country he put himself through college. He worked full-time while going to school full-time. He graduated cum laude with a bachelors degree in finance.. He then joined IBM where he became a Forensic Financial Analyst. Within 3 years he was managing over 30 analysts, and helped some of IBM’s largest clients become more efficient and profitable.. However, the boyhood dream of becoming a lawyer never left him.  He decided to make his dream a reality.  His first clients came by way of a Child Advocacy Clinic in LawSchool where he represented children in foster care.  He found that he had limitless energy and zeal when it came to fighting for his client's rights.  It was then that he knew he had made the right life choice, and his final career change.. Today, he has chosen areas of the law that make people's lives better. In representing people who have been victims of investment fraud, he has found a way to get his client's hard-earned money back. With Immigration, he has literally changed the course of his client's lives; he had the privilege of representing a client from the Darfur region of Sudan who was seeking asylum from the horrible genocide taking place there. In representing parents who have had their children placed in foster care, he not only advocates on their behalf legally, he helps them personally to change the circumstances that led to their children being removed from their care; there are dozens of reunited families in NJ who spent Christmas morning together because of his advocacy. Being of service to his clients gives his life passion and purpose. It's not a job for Mr. McGinty, it's a calling.

I knew before ever setting foot in law school, that I wanted to practice immigration law. I was born in Pakistan and raised in Saudi Arabia. Like many foreign-born parents, my parents sacrificed much to prepare my siblings and me for an education that would promise a future in America. I graduated from college and law school in the United States. Because I benefitted so personally from the promises of immigration, I attended law school with the intention of becoming an immigration lawyer. One of my chief motivators is the awareness that while each of my family members pursued a different immigration path to this country, some found their journey easier than others. Those who immigrated with relative ease had qualified help before venturing onto foreign soil. Sharing those experiences, coupled with my own history, compelled my interests in providing the highest level of care to the greatest number of people leaving their homeland and venturing courageously into the unknown.
