About Sebastian
Biography
To learn more about Attorney Sebastian Simon, visit his page on the Simon Law Group, PLLC website.
My law practice is focused on U.S. immigration law. As an immigrant myself, I moved to the United States and went through the intricacies of the immigration process. I have lived through the delays, complexities, frustrations, and challenges of the immigration process which, I believe, has given me a personal understanding and insight into the immigrant experience.
