I developed an affinity for immigration law as a teenager when I volunteered as a translator for Bosnian regufees in Europe. In 1997, I immigrated to the United States and began working for a law firm focusing on immigration law. Since then, I have enjoyed the mentorship of some of the most highly respected immigration attorneys in the United States.
As an immigration attorney, I now represent a variety of clients and businesses in all aspects of imigration matters, including nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. I especially enjoy representing health care organizations focused on training future doctors and providing health care services to the the residents of Ohio and other states.
