I was born in Istanbul, Turkey of Armenian descent. I immigrated to the United States in 1974, at the time just 4 months old. I knew, from early in my legal training that I would be an immigration attorney. In fact, it is all I specialize in. Immigration law and more importantly, unpublished policy, changes so quickly that if an attorney does not focus their entire practice on immigration law, they will miss something.
On a personal note, I am married for 11 years and two wonderful boys ages 2 and 4. I love representing my clients and learning about their cultures, business ventures and industry.

we've had a fantastic and smooth experience with Arek and his office, he did such a great job on my H1B and all the extensions, no time wasted. And also Arek and his team managed my PERM flawlessly. He made everything easier and efficient, I really appreciate it.
