About Julia
Biography
Born of Italian parents who first crossed the ocean in 1959 to realize the American dream, a keen respect for the immigrant plight is in my blood. It is for this reason that after receiving my Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School in 1997, I decided to practice Immigration and Naturalization Law. Prior to opening my own practice, I represented several multinational IT and telecommunications corporations in their US immigration matters as an Associate with a well known law firm in New York City. Today, I represent a wide variety of clients from all walks of life, from small businesses to educational institutions to entertainers, live-in nannies, families and asylum seekers. Throughout my career as an immigration attorney, I have traveled extensively to represent clients at US Consulates abroad and have lectured at immigration conferences in both India and the UK.Most recently, I was invited as a guest speaker on radio station WBAI'S Artsy Fartsy Show at 99.5 FM in New York City where I discussed visa options for artists. I am a member of the New York State Bar and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and am actively devoted to providing my clients with one-on-one, specialized attention to their immigration needs. I also hold a B.A. in Psychology from New York University (cum laude) and received my Maturita’ in Foreign Languages from the Liceo Linguistico Esedra in Rome, Italy - a city I called home for several years. I am fluent in English and Italian and conversant in Spanish. Other passions and interests include traveling and aviation. I am currently pursuing my private pilot's license (PPL) and am an active member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and Woman in Aviation International.

Highly Recommended
Julia was excellent in guiding me through the process of applying for my visa. I was consistently surprised and encouraged by her attention to detail, good humour and hard work. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends or using her services again in the future.

Julia is amazing!
Julia is simply amazing! I've worked with her twice now on visa applications and both times she has been amazingly responsive and her attention to detail, as well as her overall attitude is second to none. Would not hesitate to recommend her (and will be doing so!) to any of my friends/family.
