Her family immigration cases include clients who are adjusting status (having their immigration interview in the US) as well as those who are consular processing (having their immigration interview in their home country).

The majority of my practice revolves around fighting for those injured in major and catastrophic motor vehicle accidents and defending those accused of DUI, Misdemeanor, Felony, and Traffic offenses. I have NEVER worked for, or taken on an insurance company as a client, and I've NEVER prosecuted anyone on behalf of a state or federal agency.
