My passion for public interest and social justice led me to join The Legal Aid Society in New York City, where I defended hundreds of clients in Manhattan Criminal Court and New York State Supreme Court. I loved fighting for my clients. Many of them were immigrants facing criminal charges and often deportation. Defending their constitutional rights opened my eyes to our system of justice in ways that most lawyers don’t experience. It also gave me tremendous opportunity to hone my trial and advocacy skills, something that I find very useful in my immigration practice.

My immigrant experience drove me to pivot my legal practice and focus exclusively on immigration law. I started my first law firm helping many clients achieve success with their immigration cases. I handled a variety of different case types ranging from family, employment, humanitarian immigration and inventor’s visas. I did everything legally possible to achieve my client’s objectives and relentlessly sought creative solutions to complex problems.
