  1. Immigration: 95%

    I practice family immigration and deportation defense. This includes relative petitions, K-1 fiancee visas, green card applications, and consular processing with many consulates throughout the world. I have many years of experience doing a wide variety of removal and deportation defense cases in over 15 different immigration courts throughout the United States.

    I am a member of the bar in both California and Wisconsin, and have represented non-citizens in criminal proceeds in both of those states.

      He has always been helpful and knows immigration law extensively. I didn't know anything about immigration law but he explained it very well. I wouldn't go to anyone else for immigration questions.
