I was born in Iran and shortly thereafter my parents moved to Spain. I lived in Spain for several years and subsequently in the small country of Andorra, high in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. My entire formative education was through the French educational system. While living in Spain and Andorra, I learned Spanish and Catalan, and would spend parts of my summers attending schools in England and Italy where I learned the respective languages. I was a competitive alpine ski racer and played varsity soccer and rugby until I moved to the United States in 1983. I attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) receiving my Bachelor Degree in Political Science. Before attending Law School, I worked at a large firm in Los Angeles for 4 years before attending St. Louis University School of Law. I have been practicing law in Missouri as a member of the Missouri Bar since 1997, and have practiced exclusively for the past 23 years representing clients in Criminal & Family Immigration, Deportation/Removal Defense, Criminal Defense of Foreign Nationals, and Federal Immigration Litigation. My law partner Kimberly Cofman, is also my wife, and we have two beautiful children.

Raymond Boulorchi helped me in my immigration case which no lawyer wanted to touch. I called 10 lawyers which declined and when I spoke to ray he gave me comfort in a bad time. He also reminded me how different yet difficult the case was but he kept saying we got this and so we did. Thank you Raymond...

"Ray is an excellent attorney. He helped one of my clients obtain U.S. citizenship when I didn't think it would be possible. He is compassionate and always willing to help."
"Raymond is encyclopedic in his knowledge of immigration law. I would not hesitate to recommend him."
"I know Mr. Bolourtchi through an American Immigration Lawyers Association listerv, where immigration attorneys consult with other immigration attorneys regarding complicated legal issues they are encountering in their cases. Mr. Bolourtchi has a mixed criminal/immigration practice just as my own. I am here to endorse him because I am thoroughly impressed by the depth of his knowledge as well as how generous he is with his knowledge. He has helped me and countless others, with citations, practice advisories and his own experiences. He strikes me as highly-skilled and highly-knowledgeable."
"I have been on various immigration law listservs with Mr. Bolourchi and do not know him personally. However, in response to questions from other attorneys, he has generously provided helpful citations to legal authority to me and to other practitioners on countless occasions, as well as sharing his experience. I have often saved his detailed responses to questions posted by others in case I might have a similar situation in the future."
