I am a highly experienced immigration and citizenship lawyer in Philadelphia. I was employed by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and have been in private practice for over 30 years. My practice is limited to immigration and citizenship matters. I have experience with all areas of immigration and citizenship. I have successfully litigated cases in federal court and have helped many families and individuals to obtain visas, permanent residence and citizenship. Please call me for a consultation.
