Biography
CELLA & ASSOCIATES, LLC - "WE UNDERSTAND YOUR IMMIGRATION MATTERS" (c)
After having been admitted to practice law in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Federal Courts in 1993, I immediately started practicing in the areas of U.S. Immigration Law, Removal (Deportation), Defense, and U.S. Consular Matters. I felt then, as I feel now, that the only way to truly excel as an attorney is to limit one's area of practice as I have done for over 30 years. Only in this way can one develop the expertise necessary to provide "top shelf" legal services in such a complex area of the law as U.S. Immigration Law.
As a result, the attorneys and staff at CELLA & ASSOCIATES, LLC are dedicated to providing the best legal representation within our field.
We process all types of Immigration cases including but not limited to:
*Working Visas
*Family and Employment-Based Permanent Residence Petitions (green cards)
*Political Asylum Applications
*EB5 Investment Petitions (green cards)
*Waivers
*Employment Authorization
*DACA
*Deportation/Removal Defense
*H-1B Visas
*E Visas
*L Visas
*O and P Visas
*Cancellation of Removal
*Special Immigrant Juveniles
*Battered Spouses
*Consular Matters
*And, any other Immigration Issues you may have
Moreover, as Immigration Law is Federal, and not state law, we represent clients throughout the United States. And, to facilitate smooth and accurate attorney/client (and potential client) communications, CELLA & ASSOCIATES, LLC offers in-office, telephonic and televideo consultations. Clients and potential clients simply call our TOLL FREE number) to schedule a consulation.
So, if you need effective legal representation in any matter involving U.S. Immigration Law, Removal Defense or Consular Matters, or if you simply need guidance and clarification regarding such a matter, Call us at CELLA & ASSOCIATES, LLC, ATTORNEYS AT LAW. "We understand your immigraiton matters".
