Personal Introduction
I focus a large portion of my legal practice on Immigration law, including E Treaty Investor Visas, EB-1 petitions, other Employment and Family-based petitions, investment and business matters, Special Immigrant Visas including VAWA, DACA, Adjustment of Status, E-3, and Student Visas. Mandamus litigation has also become an important part of my practice in recent years. My practice has always been focused on a few areas in which I have gained tremendous experience, including EB-1s and E-2 Treaty Visas and family petitions among others, and I have always been a huge believer that nothing beats experience, good mentorship, and referring cases to those with the right expertise and mindset as you.
