Attorney Viles holds a J.D. from Tulane Law School, an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Alabama, and a Master of Arts in Linguistics from the University of South Carolina. That rare combination of credentials sets him apart in two important ways: his dual expertise in immigration and federal tax law allows him to resolve cases where tax errors threaten green card applications or naturalization eligibility — simultaneously, not sequentially. His background in linguistics and second language acquisition makes him uniquely equipped to handle N-648 Medical Certification cases, helping clients who cannot learn English obtain a disability exemption to pursue U.S. citizenship.
His immigration practice covers the full spectrum of U.S. immigration law: family-based green cards and spousal petitions, business and employment visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, PERM, EB-1, EB-2, EB-5), naturalization, asylum and withholding of removal, removal defense and immigration court representation, BIA appeals, and complex waivers including the I-601, I-601A, I-212, and Hranka 212(d)(3). His federal tax practice handles IRS disputes, Offers in Compromise, audit defense, FATCA/FBAR compliance, and tax return amendments — with particular focus on how tax issues affect immigration outcomes.
Attorney Viles approaches every case with a straightforward philosophy: just the facts, just the law, just results. He explains every step in plain language, works efficiently across time zones and borders, and takes on the cases others find too complex.

Mother became citizen without English
I hired Attorney Viles for my mother's naturalization case. She cannot speak English. He took care of our case and convinced immigration that she can become a citizen without English.
