Practice Areas: Immigration

My love for immigrants and diverse cultures started as a child when my family hosted exchange students from Guatemala, Mexico and France. As a 15 year old I was fortunate to travel to the former Soviet Union with an exchange program aimed at promoting peace through cultural understanding. That experience broadened my perspective and provided me with a global outlook that I carry with me to this day. In law school, I participated in an Asylum Law Project representing a young Honduran boy who was being deported. That experience solidified my commitment to immigration law. I have worked with many clients from around the world and truly enjoy learning about their lifestyle and culture. I couldn't ask for a better job.
