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.

Green Card case
When I started to look for a lawyer to handle our case, I got a quick education on how lawyers handle prospective clients. Kevin was the only lawyer I spoke with who was willing to answer some of my questions about immigration law right then and there on the phone. Before he was hired! That, plus his...
