Experience. Dedication. Personal Attention. Call (646) 681-5385
I am admitted to the New York State Bar, the New Jersey Bar and to the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. After gaining valuable experience in a busy immigration law firm, I started my own practice in 2009. I fully manage the immigration practice of my firm and have build it to become one of the strongest and respected practice areas in the community. I am a very active attorney and get involved in all aspects of all immigration cases. All of my clients know me personally and have their questions and concerns answerd almost immidiately. I have conducted many immigration proceedings in various venues including, but not limited to master and individual deportation hearings in issues such as cancellation of removal and asylum. I am also very experienced with adjustment of status, INA 212(c) trials and throughout the years have been representing a large amount of clients with I-601 and I-601A issues, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) petitions, and Naturalizations proceedings and appeals. I have extensive experience with Criminal Immigration law. My clients range from immigrants from the West Indies/Caribbean nations, Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South America. I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and The New York State Bar association and strongly belive in continued professional education and growth regardless of years of experience.
