About My Immigration Firm
I am a practicing immigration lawyer for more than 40 years and every case is handled personally by me. After many years of working in all areas of immigration law defense I now focus on family-related immigration cases, family sponsorship and marriage cases, appeals and citizenship matters. I am happy to talk to anyone about their immigration case and give some general guidance over phone or e-mail and then meet at needed. Many people now come in for consultations in my office to review paperwork and get a sense whether they need a lawyer or not to pursue their cases, with continued guidance from me.
I offer telephone consults for free and then meetings for a consultation fee in my office in Brookline, MA.
I speak some Spanish as well, but friends or family members are welcome to come in and assist as needed for interpreting.
