Seth Leech

Firm: Whiteman Osterman & Hanna, LLP
1 Commerce Plz , Albany , New York 12260
Practice Areas: Immigration
Professionally, my focus is employment-based immigration law. I represent companies and individuals in obtaining nonimmigrant visas and immigrant visas/greencards. In the nonimmigrant area, I work with engineers, scientists, researchers, IT professionals, accountants, investors, professors and teachers, performing artists, actors and actresses, athletes and others in obtaining nonimmigrant visas in the following categories: H1B, Trade NAFTA (TN),  L1A, L1B, O, P,  J, B1, R visas for religious workers,E Investors and Treaty traders, E-3 Australians and other categories. In the realm of greencards, my expertise is in PERM Labor Certification and labor certification exempt applications. As far as labor certification exempt applications, I have a niche specialty in National Interest Waivers, Aliens of Extraordinary Ability and Outstanding Researchers.. A large part of my practice also relates to family-based immigration (e.g. a US citizen spouse claiming their foreign spouse).  Not only do we help prepare applications for processing in the United States and for consular processing abroad, but I spent a great deal of time with my clients preparing them for interviews and attending interviews with government immigration authorities when feasible.  In the context of family-based immigration, I help my clients work through difficult problems relating to waivers, illegal status in the United States, issues with status violations and evidence necessary to support their case.. I also work on a variety of other immigration related matters including naturalization, consultation on the impact ofcriminal behavior on immigration status and asylum and refugee law.  As noted in mybiography below I teach  "Asylum and Refugee Law. " at Albany Law school.  I have been assisting asylum seekers for nearly 20 years.

Byron Quintanilla

Firm: Byron A. Quintanilla
917 Northern Blvd , Great Neck , New York 11020
Practice Areas: Immigration
Byron Quintanilla is the managing attorney of Ask Quintanilla Law, PLLC. His law firm is licensed to represent clients in New York and California.. Byron operates his boutique law practice in Long Island, New York, assisting individuals and small business owners with immigration, real estate, business transactions, and personal injury matters.. Byron’s law practice focuses on bringing efficient, predictable, and cost-effective results. Byron’s professional legal experience and reasonable faith efforts equip him to handle the client’s complex litigation matters on a broad spectrum of issues.. Byron blends his wealth of prior experience in customer service into his law practice to provide the client with a professional and satisfactory experience to meet the client’s expectations.. Byron was born and raised in Long Island, New York. He is a proud descendant of two working-class Guatemalan parents who arrived in the United States in the 1980s and went through the process of becoming legal United States citizens, wanting a better life for their family. Byron witnessed first-hand how complicated the immigration process can be and how the language barrier is a massive issue for many, miscommunications causing the individual to miss dates and not understand procedures or what to do next. Byron acknowledges that he wants to recompense his parent’s struggles to achieve the American Dream by serving as a voice and a gladiator in the courtroom on behalf of his clients.. The struggles that his clients experience with the continuing complicated immigration process empowered Byron to gain a broad cultural awareness, which motivated Byron to help the same working-class Latino communities with their legal matters near and dear to his heart.. Byron's dedication to helping others is a testament to his work. Byron is fluent in Spanish, and he has appeared as a legal advisor to educate the Latino community on the continuing changes to the immigration laws, as they happen quickly and can significantly affect people's lives, on monumental television networks, such as Telemundo, Univision, and other national Latino mornings programs such as Vision Latina and TV Azteca. Byron serves as the point of contact in his Great Neck community for non-native speakers and those who need legal representation, and he opens the door to clients who continue to struggle to access it. Byron’s clients chose to work with his boutique law firm because of his extreme diligence, keen eye for detail, commitment to his client’s needs, and confidence in his approach to solutions to his client’s matters.

Jeffrey Lisnow

207 Forest Avenue , Staten Island , New York 10301
Practice Areas: Immigration
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.

This area of law requires much outside-the-box thinking and therefore each case has its own set of challenges that must be looked at from all angles. It is therefore always thought-provoking, and with that, this field of law remains interesting. Many times it also encompasses different areas of law so there is definitely never any monotony as there are never two cases exactly alike! Ultimately, I find that helping corporations and individuals achieve their objectives is intrinsically rewarding.

Lawrence Kasen

Firm: The Kasen Law Firm, PLLC
136-20 38th Avenue , Flushing , New York 11354
Practice Areas: Immigration
Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, I witnessed first hand the disparate treatment of individuals based on their country of origin, race and station in life. Even before becoming an attorney, I wanted to ensure that the civil rights afforded under the United States Constitution to individuals and business entities were equally and readily available. In furtherance of this objective, I went to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ and studied the history, religion, languages and culture of many Native American peoples throughout North America as well as cultural anthropology.. Realizing that the study of law would further my objectives, in 1976 I enrolled at Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital. While at Howard, I took a constitutional law course under the direction of Herbert Reid, a preeminent constitutional law professor and scholar, who was one of the junior lawyers in Brown v. Board of Education , the famous 1954 civil rights case that led to the nullification of the separate but equal doctrine that had precluded African Americans from attending desegregated schools. This course, together with other civil rights-related courses, prepared me for a 1978 summer clerkship with the Solicitor's Office - Division of Indian Affairs, at the United States Department of Interior in Washington, D.C.. Following a recommendation of the Deputy Solicitor for Indian Affairs, for my third year in law school I embarked on a special fellowship in Indian Law and Natural Resources Law at the University of New Mexico's National Indian Law Center and Natural Resources Law Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.. With this educational background and resources, for the next two and one-half years I secured employment representing Indian tribes and individual Native Americans in Nebraska and Arizona. Throughout that time, I realized that to properly represent persons and business entities in pursuit of their civil rights, it was incumbent upon me to diversify my areas of practice to include business, family, and property law in order to fully assist these individuals and entities to realize their full citizenship rights, which for too long had been denied to them because of their country of origin, race and station in life. Thus, to broaden my practice areas, I have worked as a partner in large law firms and as a sole practitioner, representing clients in complex commercial, property and family law matters, while still remaining true to my civil rights practice.. In practicing law for over 30 years, I have become acutely aware that one of the most overlooked civil rights issue of our day is the manner in which our government views and treats non-immigrants and immigrants who seek to enter, visit and work in the United States and/or to become lawful permanent residents (holders of "greencards") and naturalized citizens of our country under the United States immigration laws. In furtherance of my initial civil rights objectives, I now primarily practice in the immigration law field to facilitate individuals and business entities to achieve their goal of becoming fully integrated into the U.S. community at large and to hire qualified employees of diverse national origins to accomplish their business aspirations.. I provide a full spectrum of legal services in the field of family and business-related immigration law. Unlike most other immigration law practitioners, I am able to complement the services rendered to my clients with the widespread legal experience that I have attained over the years, which has proven invaluable to my clients particularly when they are in need of ancillary services in the areas of business, corporate, family and real estate law to further their immigration law applications with the USCIS and U.S. consular offices.
