Ms. Tiffany Chang is a tireless advocate for her high-profile clients in entertainment, technology, academia, as well as other industries. Rarely do I meet an attorney with the ability to unpack the complex details of, for example, the namespaces of the internet, dental consumables, poetry, etc. so that a USCIS adjudicator can understand. In addition, Ms. Chang is a leader with our community of immigration lawyers as she is the 2016 American Immigration Lawyers Association Southern California Chapter's Secretary. She works tirelessly not just for her clients, but also her fellow attorneys. I proudly endorse this lawyer.
