I am admitted to the practice of law in all Federal Immigration Courts, all Massachusetts State & Federal Courts, and all Rhode Island State & Federal Courts.
Besides my practice, I am currently an adjunct professor of law at the Roger Williams University Law School and the Municipal Court Judge in the City of Central Falls, Rhode Island. Read more of my story here:
