About Kathy
Biography
I am committed to providing high quality legal work, individualized service, and exceptional client communication. I practice immigration law because I am passionate about it. With over 20 years of legal experience, I have represented a broad range of clients under often-challenging circumstances. I take great satisfaction in helping businesses to obtain the personnel they need to prosper, and families to stay together or reunite.
In addition to my knowledge of immigration law, I possesse a knack for clear and direct writing. I also conduct research and prepare documents with a meticulous attention to detail. Most important, however, is the outstanding rapport that I develop with clients. I listen carefully to their unique situations and desired outcomes, and then work diligently to create and implement solutions that will achieve their specific goals.
I have traveled extensively throughout the United States and the world. I wholeheartedly believe that the diversity of the people living and working in the U.S. make this country a much richer nation.

Excellent business immigration attorney in the Monterey Bay - Thanks!
As a small business manager, I was looking for an experienced immigration lawyer to handle issues related to two key employees. Kathy not only was able to provide us with the legal advice we needed, but her customer service was outstanding.
