About Sam
Biography
Having served thousands of clients in my career as an attorney, I still come to work looking forward to helping my next client. I keep things simple: honest, straightforward advice and experience navigating complex immigration laws for my client's best interest.
Outside work, I have always enjoyed many hoppies, flying in my early career and cycling now. As an instrument-rated pilot, being in the sky was the ultimate mental distraction from the challenge of practice or on the bike today in the mountains, where nature has not been changed by the human hand.
Above all, I am a true family man, and I love it.
