Practice Areas
Family Immigration
Family immigration is a core service area for the firm. This includes petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. The firm handles both immediate relative and preference category family petitions, along with the subsequent consular processing or adjustment of status that follows an approved petition. Marriage-based immigration, including documentation of bona fide relationships, interview preparation, and conditional residence, is part of this practice.
Deportation and Removal Defense
The firm represents individuals in removal proceedings before the immigration courts. This includes filing applications for relief from removal such as cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, and adjustment of status as a defense to removal. Removal proceedings require urgent and experienced representation given the stakes involved.
Criminal Law
The intersection of criminal law and immigration is a significant practice area given that criminal convictions can have severe immigration consequences, including deportability, inadmissibility, and ineligibility for naturalization. The firm handles criminal matters, including with attention to immigration consequences for non-citizen clients.
Additional Immigration Services
The firm also handles DACA applications and renewals, work authorization petitions, visa applications across various categories, citizenship and naturalization applications, asylum claims, and deferred action matters.
