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.

I have a great team of paralegals and associates who speak English, Armenian, Tagalog, and Russian fluently.

I love what I do.  Whether a client needs help with the U.S. immigration system, or whether a client has had an accident, or whether the maze of family court is the challenge, I believe in helping others in gaining access to justice.. Having lived in four different countries and three continents, moving at early age to Germany from Iran, I learned that all humans are equal.  What defines us is the care for one another and the harmony we create.. I do not consider my job a source of income, I consider it my passion.  That is why I am available at times when many are not, and that is why I respond to clients very quickly, and that is why I make it my mission to get clients best possible results.  My mission in life is to help and contribute.

I am a Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. As an Iranian Jew, I came to the United States over 40 years ago, fleeing persecution. I was granted asylum status, which allowed me to stay safely in the United States and obtain all the benefits this wonderful country has to offer.. I have made it my life's mission to help others from all walks of life who are fleeing persecution, want a new start in this country, or have come to this land seeking the American dream. During the last 20+ years, I have consistently traveled all over the United States, defending people in various immigration courts from deportation and removal, whether in detained or non-detained settings. I have successfully represented thousands of clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and various United States Circuit Court of Appeals legitimatizing their status here, allowing my clients to live and work in the United States.

As an immigrant myself, I can relate to my clients on a different level because I have gone through the process with my family.  As a child, I saw how difficult it was for my parents to raise three small children in a foreign country.  My father's disappointment with attorneys who could not deliver on their promises is a salient memory for me as a child.  I remember translating the lawyer's bad news to my father, which made me so sad.  As a child, it was this experience that made me want to become an attorney (in my mind a superhero) so I can help my father.. Today, I see my father in all my clients, which gives me the power and persistence to obtain the proper result.  Although I wasn't able to help my father as a child, I get so much satisfaction in getting results for my clients even if it means taking the government to federal court to get it done.. I also owe immense gratitude to my wife, Deanna, who was the only person that believed in my dream of becoming an attorney.  I decided to go to law school after I was married and had two small children. With my wife's love and inspiration, I was able to achieve my dream.  I'm blessed and thankful to have her in my life.. - I dedicate my practice in immigration law to the memory of my father - Barkev Asatrian.
