I am intimately familiar with the immigration process from both the client and attorney perspective.
I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada and attended college and law school in the United States pursuant to a student visa. As a young immigration attorney, I married an American citizen processing my own applications for conditional and permanent residence. Subsequently, I became a naturalized United States citizen.
Since 1992, I have assisted thousands of individuals and companies successfully navigate a complex and rather daunting immigration system.
Never forgetting my experience as an immigrant, my primary focus is providing each client with a clear understanding of the immigration steps that lie ahead as well as a realistic assessment of the results that can be achieved. Each client expects and is entitled to an honest evaluation.

Efficient and Straight Forward
We found Paul online based on his excellent ratings. We would recommend hiring him based on his experience, up front attitude, direct questions and ability to highlight potential problems to avoid. Our green card case went smoothly and from beginning to end I was approved within 3 months.
