I am a son of Immigrants but I grew up in North Carolina.   My parents underwent the Immigration process almost 50 years ago.  They had a difficult time navigating the Immigration system, that  manner of Immigrating exists today! I decided that practicing the law is a way I could help those that couldn't help themselves and to give back to the community.  I started by practicing criminal defense and traffic maters, wokers compensation, personal injury and uncontested divorce.  These areas of law I continue to practice today!  I then added Immigration as the focal point of my practice as I saw an overlapp in all of these areas. Family is very important to me and I saw an opportunity to help families with all manner of problems.  I enjoy my work and try my best to help anybody I can. In my office I always tell clients what the truth is rather than what they may or may not want to hear.  I love travel, fine dining, exercise and sports.  Come see us and we will do all we can to help you through whatever legal situation you may be going through.

I have been facinated by travel and people's stories ever since I lived in India during junior high school.  Both my husband, my mother's husband and my sister's husband are from countries other than the United States.  I have first hand experience at how immigration impacts families.
