For employers
Immigration counsel that fits how your team actually works.
Sponsorship shouldn't mean chasing a case manager for an update or re-explaining your business to a new associate every quarter. I work with a small number of companies at a time, which means the person who knows your matter is the person who answers your email.
Who I work with
First H-1B, first PERM, first green card commitment to an employee. The early decisions, how job requirements get drafted, how recruitment is documented, when the process starts relative to status expiration, constrain everything downstream.
Filings handled ad hoc across HR, finance, and a founder's inbox. The work gets done, but nobody owns it and nothing is documented.

When to call
Call before, not after
Worth a conversation even when you're not ready to file:
- Before drafting a job posting for a role you may sponsor
- Before a layoff or reduction in force affecting any sponsored employee
- Before an acquisition, restructuring, or entity change
- Before a sponsored employee's role, salary, or worksite materially changes
- Before an employee on TN or H-1B1 status is offered a green card, because these categories don't tolerate immigrant intent the way H-1B and L-1 do
- Before transferring an employee abroad, if you may want them back on an L-1 later
- Before an L-1A holder's status runs out, if EB-1C is the plan
- The day a Request for Evidence, audit, or Notice of Intent to Deny arrives
Most of the expensive problems in this area were cheap to prevent.
