Personal Introduction

I am an immigration lawyer who is himself an immigrant. Originally from Armenia, I immigrated to U.S. in 1996. I was 17 at the time, came alone, and had to overcome my own share of immigration challenges. At the time I was not so fortunate to have right guidance. Due to personal naivete, lack of knowledge of the system and the rules, and reliance on bad information and advice, my own journey to U.S. permanent residency was a treacherous path that took many years and nearly ended in deportation from the United States. Having personally gone though the long and complicated immigration process made the profession of an immigration lawyer a natural choice for me. That experience as an immigrant serves me in my role as an immigration attorney. It allows me to truly connect with the individuals and families who come to see me for legal counsel. As an immigration attorney who is himself an immigrant I quickly grasp my clients’ issues and relate to their concerns. As a prospective client, whatever part of the world you are from, let me assure you that when it comes to discussing your immigration issues, you and I speak the same language. You do not need to explain to me the importance of succeeding in your case.
