About Richard
Biography
Immigration and Family law are my two favorite practice areas. As an immigration attorney, I help immigrants establish a life here in the US by assisting them to overcome obstacles and turn their personal or professional goals into reality. In family court, I help families protect their loved ones, maintain control over their assets and preserve their legacy with undertaking and expert advice.
