About Christopher
Biography
Each year I represent more than 100 couples with Marriage Adjustment of Status, Marriage Consular Processing, and K-1 Fiancé cases.
For those facing issues in cases they filed without a lawyer or with another lawyer, I regulary handle responding to Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), BIA Appeals, and N-336 Naturalization Hearing Requests.
I am a current American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Liaison to the Cincinnati USCIS Field Office.
Most of my cases are handled for a flat fee that covers all of my legal work on your case. This way you can know that you can talk to me as much as you need to throughout your case. No hidden fees or charges, just effective, affordable immigration legal advice.

So glad we had Christopher's help!
We weren't sure we wanted to hire a lawyer at first to handle my immigration from Canada to the US - but after our first meeting with Christopher, there wasn't any doubt. We are so glad he was there to help us with all the forms and formalities! The process went so smoothly we still can't believe it....
