I practice under the policy that I treat my clients in the way that I would want to be treated if I needed an attorney to represent me. That means all of my clients get MY PERSONAL ATTENTION. They deal directly with me. I am accessible 7 days a week which means that I try to return all calls as quickly as possible. That includes nights and weekends. I tell my clients that if I am too busy to return your call then you should find another attorney who can give you the utmost personal attention. Fortunately I have not lost any clients due to a lack of being able to devote enough time to them.. Immigration can be a very scary issue for many people and I do whatever I can to make them feel comfortable in placing their trust in my hands. All of my clients come from referrals and I have represented people all over the United States of America as well as from many countries throughout the world.. Feel free to contact me at any time should you feel the need to speak with a qualified immigration attorney.

I knew before ever setting foot in law school, that I wanted to practice immigration law. I was born in Pakistan and raised in Saudi Arabia. Like many foreign-born parents, my parents sacrificed much to prepare my siblings and me for an education that would promise a future in America. I graduated from college and law school in the United States. Because I benefitted so personally from the promises of immigration, I attended law school with the intention of becoming an immigration lawyer. One of my chief motivators is the awareness that while each of my family members pursued a different immigration path to this country, some found their journey easier than others. Those who immigrated with relative ease had qualified help before venturing onto foreign soil. Sharing those experiences, coupled with my own history, compelled my interests in providing the highest level of care to the greatest number of people leaving their homeland and venturing courageously into the unknown.
