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.
