Frequently Asked Questions

  • A Word From Our Founder

    'I am inspired by helping my clients. I love when my client gets the justice that he or she deserves. When I see a person that has been living in the shadows in the immigration system and then obtains their permanent residency, I am thrilled they can now live a life normally. I love my family and my children. Doing for them inspires me. I am impressed with those common people that go to work every day and make their strides in life. Sometimes that is just as simple as showing up.


    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

    ― Theodore Roosevelt


    I have always loved this quote by President Roosevelt. I think its shows what we as Americans must do. When I moved out to California after law school, I didn’t know a soul, I just came to start a new life in the sunshine. In my heart, I heard these words in the dark days of no money and setbacks. It helped me to persevere and to succeed.'
