About Kevin
Biography
I love the practice of Immigration Law! It is such a unique area of law to practice in in that it is so rewarding, so personal, and allows me to feel like I am doing something worthwhile. I am inspired by each of my client's personal immigration stories, and as an immigrant myself, feel a strong empathy for what my clients experience as they attempt to navigate the complexities of our overly cumbersome immigration system, with the attendant anxieties and frustrations that it creates. I am proud to play a small role in continually adding to the mix of the American melting pot.

A++, great information, incredibly responsive, and super friendly
My husband and I have hired Kevin for green card and citizenship applications. Both times Kevin as well as his staff were incredibly responsive, friendly, and funny on top of it. I'd consider myself a demanding client, always asking a million questions. Some might even say, I am annoying at times. Bu...
