Mr. Gehi holds a Master of Laws degree from the University of Georgia and was employed by the former administrative judge, Jeffrey M. Gottlieb, Esq., for approximately six years. During his employment with Mr. Gottlieb, Mr. Gehi assisted the firm in handling complicated immigration cases, ranging from family-based immigration to deportations, to employment-based immigration matters, etc.
Maintaining an active trial practice, Mr. Gehi specializes in dealing with incredibly complex immigration cases. Former State and former Assistant District Attorneys, and many private attorneys have referred challenging immigration cases to his firm, due to his reputation in this area. It is not uncommon for clients to transfer their cases to Gehi and Associates, particularly when the case involves complex immigration issues.
Mr. Gehi’s landmark case involved a client whose name and birth date matched that of a suspected terrorist. The case ultimately required dealing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Immigration Court.
