About Christian
Biography
My experience as a lawyer in Germany and the U.S. has given me broad exposure to the practice of law. And while practicing immigration law for over ten years has provided me with the opportunity to solve a host of legal problems, every consultation and representation continues to make me a better lawyer. Life can trigger a host of unanticipated legal issues and the possibility of solving these issues adds another wrinkle to the face of my experience. Adding to this, I myself have had to depend on a lawyer to represent me in an area where I knew little. This experience has given me a unique client perspective and insight into the anxiety and frustration clients often feel.
