MAKING THE LAW WORK FOR YOU
ABOUT US
APPLYING THE LAW TO YOUR BENEFIT
“We care about our clients and fiercely defend their interests. From the day you meet us, ‘your’ problems will become ‘our’ problems. We have spent years building cases and advocating for clients. Together, we will make the law work for you.”
I have worked for London (United Kingdom) firms from 1999-2003, practicing Immigration Law, Family Law, and other types of Civil Law. In 2002, I completed my training contract and obtained my license to practice law in England & Wales. While building the best case for my clients, I also advocated for clients in immigration courts and tribunals, and magistrate and high courts (in family and civil matters). Prior to this, I received my Postgraduate Diploma in Law (CPE / PGDL) at the prestigious Kingston University in England. The following year, I studied the Legal Professional Course in London at the University of Law, in the center of London. In my undergraduate degree, I studied psychology, earning a B.A. in 1992 from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
I passed the California Bar in 2020, after working as a caseworker in San Jose and San Francisco for years, and became licensed to practice law in California in September of 2021. I speak fluent English and Spanish and can read and write in both languages. Speaking Spanish assists me often, given the number of immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America that need help with their immigration cases in the U.S.
Our objective is simple: we will take your side and will help you find the appropriate immigration remedy for your case. As a first step, our team will discuss your case and look at your documentation to help you understand your situation and how the law applies to your case. Then, together we will create a plan to achieve your goals. If required, we will build a case in court and represent your interests toward a favorable outcome.
Rest assured, our team will strive to represent your interests from the day we meet.
HOW WE WORK
WE GIVE YOUR CASE ATTENTION
We want our clients to have the best result possible. As our smaller immigration firm provides our clients with more personalized attention, and our clients receive special consideration, research and care.
BUILD YOUR STORY
The foundation for a solid case lies in the detail. Even in another language, we will make sure all the relevant facts in your case come to light.
RESEARCH AND PREPARE
The law is complex. However, a skilled attorney will provide assistance and knowledge about the law. This will set you on the path to success with your immigration case.
WORK TO WIN
Our legal filings and applications represent a clear and concise view of your case. When we make an application on your behalf, we will work to achieve an approval. In the case of denial, we may appeal, if warranted.
WHY CHOOSE ME?
WE WILL MAKE ‘YOUR’ PROBLEMS, ‘OUR’ PROBLEMS.
Many attorneys may represent you in court or file your paperwork. Few will fight for you with the attention that we will. From the day we meet, we will devote our energy to making sure that you achieve your goal and that your case is handled properly. With our clients, we believe that ‘your’ problems are ‘our’ problems, until we achieve a positive result.
Years of Experience
Having experience with various types of law across the UK and in California means that I can assist in interpreting the law, especially with regard to immigration rules and regulations and case law.
Fluency in Spanish
I speak, understand, read and write in Spanish. I will understand many who speak Spanish from Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Columbia, to name a few.
Being Admitted to the California Bar
The California Bar is one of the toughest in the nation. Having passed this hurdle, I am now licensed to practice immigration law in the U.S. as well as the U.K.
Dependents and Other Family
I can assist you with your immigration matter, but I can also help your family members too. Please ask for the ways that family members may be entitled to relief in connection with your claim.
