I have MOVED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM! Ergo, I have closed my law practice after over a decade. I have really enjoyed working with all of you, and helping you. I wish all of you, attorneys and clients, the best as I begin my new adventure. My law practice was based on... I am very selective accepting cases. Most of my cases are referrals, but some touch my heart and I take those cases too. I am always thrilled to help people to be able to join other family members in this country, or to obtain citizenship. It is an honor and a privilege. I truly care about my clients. It is my job to help people, and they are depending on me to guide them in navigating their way through a system that can be full of confusing signs, roadblocks, and stop signs.. I prefer to prepare petitions thoroughly based on my strategy to use a good offense. Why? I like to close a file the first time around-- if possible. If a case has already been presented, and evidence is missing, it can be the best strategy to file a new petition with additional evidence that can't be introduced on appeal of the earlier denied petition.. The rules are there, and I advise clients to follow them. Many potential clients believe that the rules don't apply to them. The rules apply to everyone, even though the enforcement, processing, and outcomes vary-- and truly seem "unfair" when the immigrant or USC/LPR petitioner believes he/she is on the short end of the stick. However, the facts, jurisdiction, laws, evidence, and so many variables come into play-- and a lawyer can advise, assist, prepare, and present, but cannot be a fortune-teller on the outcome. The process can seem long, but it can be an eternity if done incorrectly the first time. So, the long way is the short way!. Document EVERYTHING! Photocopy and keep copies of everything. Be ready to produce documents if asked-- even if you've already done so-- with a smile. It's easier to close a file by providing the KEY to the lock, than trying to smash open the box (that's a metaphor!)

My Philosophy:. I truly care about you. That’s why I practice family and business immigration law. I’m an experienced immigration lawyer who truly understands what you are going through and the immigration legal services you need.. My family lived in an immigrant neighborhood with people who didn’t speak English. We lived with multiple generations of extended family members who worked many jobs, just to make ends meet. Everyone in our neighborhood joined together to help everyone else survive and eventually thrive.. These experiences guide my philosophy about how I treat others, how I practice law and how I try to live my life.. I appreciate the difficult decisions and sacrifices you’ve had to make. It’s not easy to leave behind, the only life you’ve ever known and the people who were a part of it. I understand your dreams, your wishes and your hopes for a better future for yourself and your children.. I also appreciate how difficult and overwhelming it is for companies that employ foreign nationals. You worry about complying with fast-changing immigration laws and making sure that you're filing the right immigration applications for your valued foreign employees. I can help keep your company in compliance with the regulations and prepare your immigration petitions for foreign nationals you are sponsoring.. Let me guide you through the daunting U.S. immigration process ahead of you.. As a dual U.S.-Italian citizen, I practice U.S. immigration law from my office in beautiful Arpino, Italy and from Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. I can help individual clients and employers with U.S. immigration matters, regardless of where you are located.
