Our Firm
We have provided immigration assistance to clients from all over the world, from the Middle East to Africa, from Indonesia to Russia, Mexico and Central America. We focus our immigration practice on family-based matters, non-immigrant visas, removal defense and immigration appeals at all levels, referring out all issues related to employment-based immigration. We also handle asylum issues, naturalization applications, waivers and appeals.
With every client, we work hard to get to know you, so that we can understand the unique aspects of your situation and develop a plan to help you accomplish your specific goals. We will take the time to learn where you came from, how and when you came into the United States, whether you have family here, and if your children have any special needs. In many instances, based on your individual circumstances, you may have an asylum claim or rights under laws protecting victims of crime.
Our goal, with every client, is to help you find a way to stay in the United States or to bring your loved ones to the U.S. to join you. We are sympathetic to your concerns and strive to provide counsel that is sincere, affordable and trustworthy.
Our Practice
We focus our immigration practice on matters involving:
- Non-immigrant based visas. We help visitors to the United States - tourists, temporary workers, students and others - apply for temporary visas so they can remain in the U.S. for a limited amount of time.
- Family-based immigration. We help people who seek visas, green cards or citizenship, whether as spouses, siblings, parents or children of U.S. citizens.
- Removal/deportation defense. We will help you fight removal proceedings, whether you have never received a green card or you face problems keeping your green card.
- Motions to re-open. If your circumstances have changed or you were poorly represented by your last attorney, we may be able to file a motion to repoen your case.
- Immigration appeals. We represent individuals whose immigration applications have been denied or who want to appeal an immigration decision of any kind.
