Your hope is in experienced hands.​

I have represented hundreds of clients facing removal, successfully challenged allegations of grounds of removability or deportability from the Department of Homeland Security, as well as secured relief from Immigration Judges in the form of adjustment of status, removal of conditions of residence, waivers of inadmissibility, cancellation of removal, asylum, and withholding of removal.

As a Past Chair and current member of the Executive Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Immigration & Nationality Section, I am actively involved in my local legal community in order to best serve my client's interests.

I strive to personally appear with all of my clients in immigration interviews before USCIS, in and around Southern California. All of these experiences have provided invaluable insight to be able to effectively guide my clients seeking immigration benefits.
