I was born in Argentina, and was brough to the US as a child. My family came from Hungary, Italy, Spain, Cuba and Argentina. I went through the immigration process and felt what it was like to not belong. I also learned that this country offered lmitless possibilities, as long as you were willing to work very hard for them. This is what got me where I am, through Stuyvesant High School, UNC Chapel Hill and Georgetown Law, and what propeled me to launch my own law firm in 2004.
My goal is to help good people realize their unique versions of the American Dream, just as I have been able to do.

Extremely thorough with excellent communication throughout the entire process given we were on the other side of the world, my O-1 petition and subsequent approval were a huge success. I highly recommend Steve and SMA...

Expeditious, thorough and professional
It has been great meeting Steve and his team for my O1-B case (architect), I already had two other petitions approved but he took the time to review and redraft almost completely the submission in a very thorough and precise way. Always helpful to whatever doubt I had, and very fast in answering all...
