About Fabian
Biography
I came here from Jamaica in the 1980s and was brought up in the inner city of Boston. I attended Boston Public Schools and went on to the University of Massachusetts for my Bachelor's and JD. From there I attended Franklin Pierce Law Center where I obtained my Masters in Intellectual Property.
I look to serve working and middle class families, and small business with issues varying from immigration, bankruptcy, family law, loan modifications, and many other areas. I practice immigration law in the 50 states and territories and state law in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
I reside in the Boston area where I am involved with the Volunteer Lawyers Project and various church and community activities. I am very excited to give back to the communities that have given so much to my family and I.
