I work on immigration and criminal law cases and have over 10 years experience in California and Wisconsin. I specifically focus on spouse petitions, fiancee visas, other family petitions, adjustment of status, deportation defense, asylum, TPS, U-visas, and VAWA.
Practice areas
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.
