"I had the pleasure of assisting Bill on a recent immigration matter. His knowledge of criminal law was a real asset in dealing with the customs and border patrol inspection, and his ability to be confident, assertive, and knowledgeable (all at the same time!) came across very well to the adjudication officer. He was able to obtain admittance for a client who, by all technical accounts, should have lost her LPR status. His professionalism and determination to do the right thing is a tribute both to his ability as an attorney and to the immigration profession as a whole. Outstanding!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Professional, dedicated and experienced attorney."
