I am a full-time immigration practitioner, and I advise in all immigration-related matters. Whatever your situation, we'll go through all the available options to see what is most appropriate for your case: whether that is a green card based on family or employment sponsorship, a temporary visa, representation in immigration court, pursuing some other form of benefit, or defense against removal (deportation).
When you consult an immigration attorney, you are not just deciding how to use your time and money; the decisions you make can affect your ability to stay with and provide for your family, to pursue your life's ambition, or to simply protect yourself from harm in this or another country. I am passionate about the quality of immigration services, and I have chaired and served on a number of committees related to ethics, consumer advocacy, and immigration fraud. I have provided testimony to several cities considering legislation to protect immigrant consumers, and I regularly provide trainings and lectures on these and other topics.
I define success simply by the quality of services that I provide, and every decision I make is carefully tailored to your best interests.
To schedule a consultation, please contact me directly.

A Knowledgeable, Thorough and Caring Attorney
I consulted Matthew about my H1-B RFE recently and after exchanging emails with him, I found his words to be the guiding light at the end of the tunnel for me. I was about to lose all hope when a couple of attorneys I consulted before him who told me that there is literally zero chance of me getting ...

Review regarding US Immigration
1. Matthew was very professional and followed the right procedure to handle my case which was very complicated considering that I was going through a divorce, my H4 application received an RFE and I had to quit my job where I was in H1B visa.
