As a nation built by immigrants, there is nonetheless a division in the U.S.
about the role of immigrants. Immigrants are our neighbors, our coworkers,
the parents of our children’s friends and workers in every sector of the U.S.
economy. Some immigrants arrive in the U.S. fleeing persecution and
violence. One reason why immigration law is so complex is because it is a
matter of life and death in certain cases. That is why you need an attorney
you can trust.
Immigrants consult with attorneys to apply for a work permit based on
employment or as an asylum applicant. They file paperwork to sponsor
family members overseas in their immediate and extended family. They
enter the United States fleeing from persecution based on their race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political
opinion.
Businesses and churches in the U.S. sponsor immigrants with specialized
skills and to fill positions advertised for which no qualified U.S. citizen was
found.
Immigrants marry Americans, start families and share their culture,
traditions and language with coworkers, friends and neighbors. Immigrants
start more than 25% of all businesses in seven of the eight sectors of the
economy that the U.S government expects to grow the fastest over the next
decade.
The firm’s business immigration practice involves counseling and assisting
employers and foreign workers to avoid status violations and employer
sanctions. I-9 Compliance presentations are helpful for any small business
as well as larger employers. Having a management plan in place reassures
employees that they can follow the lead of their manager if Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers conduct a surprise inspection.

Our attorney regularly handles family- and marriage- based immigration
cases, naturalization applications, asylum applications, and occasional
defense of people in removal (deportation) proceedings.
She has given numerous Know Your Rights presentations in Virginia and
Oregon and believes that education and information help individuals and
businesses make empowered choices.
Our attorney is sensitive to the special responsibility and trust involved in
representing foreign clients. Along with legal expertise, our attorney
possesses cultural understanding and linguistic experience that makes our
firm better counselors and advocates for our clients. Consultations can be
conducted in Spanish, as well as other languages if the client brings
someone who can serve as an interpreter from their native language to
English (fluency in both languages is necessary).
