As an experienced immigration attorney, most of my cases revolve primarily (but not exclusively) around business- and employment-based immigration, assisting clients from the world over with working in the United States on various types of business- or employment-based visas.
My immigration law practice is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, and serves the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area. However, I do represent clients residing and/or working in all various U.S. states, as well as those located overseas.

- U.S. Immigration Court / Executive Office of Immigration Review
I handle these types of cases:
(incl. related renewals and extensions)
- Temporary Work Visas
- Employment-based Greencards

The majority of “typical” clients are:

I also offer series of other services. Please inquire by contacting me
As a matter of personal policy in my firm, I sometimes choose to offer discounted legal fees to some non-profit organizations. On some occasions, I also reserve the right to perform some of my services on a “pro bono” basis.
PLEASE NOTE: These decisions regarding reduced or no-fee representation are solely at MY discretion.
My fees are fair and reasonable, considering the complexity of your case, and a fair estimate of the work involved, based on my 20+ years experience in the field.
