Why Do I Practice US Immigration Law?
My family’s own immigration story is a meaningful part of why I practice immigration law. My family came to the United States as farmers, settled in the Pacific Northwest, and ultimately established a family business in 1902 that remains in operation today—five generations later. I grew up with a deep appreciation for the opportunity my family had to establish a new home, build a life, and thrive here, and I feel incredibly fortunate to help others pursue that same opportunity. I love that my work allows me to serve individuals, families, and companies as they navigate the immigration process and to play a small part in helping talented, hardworking people bring their skills, ideas, and dreams to the United States.
