Narrow by subject, complete within it
I don't handle asylum, removal defense, or criminal immigration consequences. What I do handle is the full employment-based spectrum — every category an employer is likely to need, from a TN admission next month to an EB-1C green card three years out — because those decisions connect. The visa you choose for a new hire in year one constrains the green card path available in year four.
Employment-based immigration is procedurally unforgiving. Recruitment defects, evidentiary gaps, and timing errors are frequently uncorrectable after filing. That argues for depth over breadth.

Why a small firm
The person who knows your file is the person who answers
Larger firms distribute a matter across an associate, a paralegal, and a case manager, and the partner you met at the pitch is not the person drafting your petition. That model has real advantages — capacity, coverage, redundancy. It also means explaining your business again every time staffing turns over.
I've built this practice the other way. The roster is small on purpose. You have my direct email and my phone. When you write, I'm the one who writes back.
Process
How a matter runs
We go through the facts, the realistic options, and the specific risks. If a case isn't ready, I'll say so in the first conversation.
Written scope covering the work, the timeline, and the fee arrangement before anything starts.
For petition work this is where cases are won or lost. I work through the record with you rather than sending a checklist and waiting.
You see the full package before it's submitted, and you get status updates without having to chase them.
Let's talk about your matter.
Consultations are scheduled directly with me. If you're facing a filing deadline or holding a notice with a response date on it, say so first and I'll prioritize it.
