Biography
I graduated from NYU Law School in 1989 and began practicing immigration law in 1990. I focus on immigration court cases, federal district court immigration cases and U.S. courts of appeals immigration cases. My practice is nationwide. I have appeared in immigration courts all over the country including New York City; Detroit, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; Tucson, Arizona; Chicago, Illinois; and Los Angeles, California.
I am ready to fight for you whether you seeking to stay with your family or a company who has been denied hiring the best talent from abroad.

- Q. i have a friend that was detained by ICE for crossing the border illegally, he has been detained for over a month now.
