About Rebekah
Biography
A former immigration attorney for the government, I am now in private practice using my extensive knowledge of the immigration law to benefit my clients. I have significant experience in various areas of immigration law including visas, green cards, removal proceedings, employer sanctions cases, and citizenship. Having prosecuted immigration cases for the government for almost 4 years, I am familiar with not only the numerous pitfalls of complicated immigration cases, but also the policies that govern the immigration process.
When I am not in the office, I enjoy playing ice hockey, running, and spending time with my husband and dogs.
