As of January 1, 2026, my entire immigration team and I have transitioned from the Dunn Law Firm to Husch Blackwell. We will continue to serve immigration clients in the area of highly skilled immigration. I have over 35 years of legal experience, including spending 16 years as a law professor. I am exclusively focused on handling immigration matters for clients, primarily filing EB-1A Extraordinary Ability, EB-1B Outstanding Professor Researcher, and EB-2 NIW petitions on behalf of my clients who come from top research institutions and companies from around the world.
