I have known Phil Curtis since law school and have grown to value and respect the professional he has become, applying both a strong grasp of the law and a practical, commons-sense straightforwardness often lacking in the legal profession. Phil has chosen to focus his strong skill set on helping families and workers live and work in the United States. He is an excellent immigration law attorney and the consummate professional attorney that I highly recommend and endorse.
