Why Do I Practice Immigration Law?
I came to the practice of immigration law after several years of practice in the area of commercial litigation. I love the fact that immigration law is about people, rather than money. It is very gratifying to be in a position to help people get through the immigration process and achieve their personal and professional goals in the United States. I also greatly enjoy working with clients from around the world and believe strongly in the tremendous benefits immigrants bring to the United States. I have lived in Mexico, Germany, and French Polynesia, and been greatly enriched by these experiences. In this complex and shrinking world, having people from other countries visit the United States, work here, settle here, and contribute to our cultural and economic life, enriches us in multiple ways. I am glad to be able to contribute to this process.
