About Brandon
Biography
My practice consists solely of U.S. immigration and citizenship law. Green cards, citizenship, temporary work visas, asylum, and removal defense are among the top areas of my immigration practice. I have helped many people obtain immigration benefits such as lawful permanent residency either through family-based or employment-based petitions, or through immigration court proceedings.
