I received my Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from Suffolk University Law School in Boston, MA, where I was a member of the Transnational Law Review. While in law school, I specialized in the International and Immigration Law. After working as an associate and supervising attorney for several large law firms in Boston and San Francisco, I decided to start my own immigration law practice in the heart of Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, CA.
At present, I serve as the Managing Attorney at Bay Immigration Law - a full service immigration law firm, with offices in Palo Alto, CA, San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, and Toronto, Canada.
Bay Immigration Law works with businesses of all sizes, across all industry sectors, with a particular focus on the technology sector and start-up/scale-up companies.
Bay Immigration Law has successfully worked with many ventures and investors who are now in the U.S. operating their businesses and working towards their professional and personal goals in the U.S.

I had a terrible experience with this attorney. From the start, communication was poor—emails and phone calls were often ignored, and when I did get a response, it was vague and unhelpful. I felt like my case wasn’t a priority, and I was left in the dark most of the time. The attorney seemed disorg...

Had to chase this attorney for updates. Communication was awful and my whole experience with bay immigration was terrible. Avoid this firm and this lawyer.

I felt like they were more interested in collecting fees than in actually helping me navigate the immigration process. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone looking for reliable and competent legal support.
