I suggest immigrants and their friends and employers looking for counsel review the government websites, now with a wealth of information, seek advice only from members of professional legal associations, and be skeptical of stories and advice from friends, neighbors, and notarios.

Immigrants should be prepared to be candid about all entries into the U.S., prior use of counsel, applications filed, and law enforcement encounters.. In 1991 a represntative of Amnesty International reached out to me and said there were few immigration lawyers in Kentucky to assist with pressing needs.

What could be a better oppotunity for a lawyer than to have a case where there are only winners, no losers, at the end of the day.. Since 1991 I have represented, or interviewed (as an immigration officer), nationals of 100 countries, been employed as an adjunct professor of immigration law at Louis D Brandeis School of Law, lobbied Congress on Capitol Hill, and lectured at bar association meetings..
