My office was established on the principle that building solid relationships with the client is the key to a successful law practice.  I first began handling immigration cases nearly 10 years ago and have worked in both private and government practice. This experience proved priceless, as I was able to witness, first-hand, the needs of the immigrant communities across the country. My practice is entirely devoted to immigration law and it is my hope to provide people with the quality representation they need and deserve. The old way of doing business in the field of immigration law is not what I'm interested. As such, I do everything I can to provide my clients with efficient, high-quality, and transparent representation.

My goal is to provide people with the opportunity of making a better life for themselves and their children.. I have a strong multi-cultural background which I believe brings strength to my immigration practice.  Born in India, I have lived for several years in Sri Lanka, England, Dubai and, since 1995, the USA.  I have traveled the immigrant journey and am painfully aware of the anxieties and concerns of the process and the impact it has on so many areas of your life - from finding a job, to driving, to social security issues and so much more.. Having practiced law in England and in the Middle East where the legal profession is well respected I was concerned to find in the USA that lawyers are looked upon with some distrust.  One of the goals of my practice is to raise the reputation of lawyers, to be people driven and not money driven and to treat my clients with respect, professionalism and courtesy.  I am proud of the reputation I have of being approachable and of not holding back on the advice I give, even to prospective clients who have not yet retained me.. My leisure time revolves around people and nothing energizes me more than spending time with my friends.
