About Geri
Biography
Hi and welcome. This Avvo profile is very complete. Should you wish to know more than what is contained here, you may also wish to check my website: or my blogs:
---
I practice both Immigration and Nationality Law and Social Security Disability law.
As to the immigration field, I represent people in removal (deportation) proceedings. I also assist small businesses in obtaining professional visas such as H-1Bs or L-1s for their employees. I represent applicants for political asylum, and religious workers and individuals at all stages of the naturalization process. Finally, I help people who wish to bring their family members to the United States.
In the Social Security field, I represent disabled individuals at administrative hearings and in federal court.
In both areas I have taken cases to the federal court and up through the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I have listed a couple of the cases in my profile.
I am the secretary and past president of the SL (Second Life®) Bar Association (). The picture in the profile is a picture of my law office on Second Life. If you have access to Second Life, you may find my office here:

LIfesaver!
After wasting a year with an incompetent attorney and his assistant I was lucky enough to find Geri Kahn and Toni Dine. I couldn't be happier with the professional way they handled my case and the positive outcome. Thank you both!!
