ProAbout Jonathan
I have been representing clients in immigration matters since my days as an associate at a small Houston law firm. By the time I opened my own law office in 1983, my immigration practice was growing rapidly, and within ten years all but a few of my cases were in this field. I have seen many changes in immigration law over the past three decades, some for the better, some not, but what has never wavered has been my dedication and commitment to my clients. I have made it a hallmark of my practice
