Firm: The Law Office of Anuj A. Shah, P.C.

My parents immigrated to the United States in the 1970s to pursue what most people coming to the United States want:  The American Dream.  My father is a physician, my  mother a biochemist, and I witnessed firsthand how, through their hard work and perseverance, they became lawful permanent residents and, ultimately, proud citizens of the United States.. Immigration, as a result, has been at the forefront of my consciousness since my childhood.  Therefore, it is my mission to assist those who, like my family, want to come, either temporarily or permanently, to the United States and create a life of happiness, prosperity, and possibility for themselves. It is an honor and privilege to be an advocate for those people, and I am grateful that I can rise each day and provide this service.

Firm: Law Offices of Van T. Doan, LLC

At the Law Firm of Van T. Doan, LLC, our practice is focused on immigration law and family law. We have a comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of immigration law and the implications that may arise from emotionally charged domestic matters. The firm is routinely called upon to either consult or handle immigration matters where the parties may be separated or going through a high-conflict divorce. We also frequently receive referrals from domestic law attorneys where one of the parties is a foreign national and concerns have been raised regarding lawful status, child custody and visitation, and domestic violence. As a certified mediator and collaborative law practitioner, I believe in negotiation and that eventually, calmer heads will prevail. However, when the situation demands immediate action such as when a child has been removed from the home without notice or consent, I have successfully petitioned for the Court to take action for the safe return of the child.
