Mediator:

I enjoy resolving cases with mediation. If you are open to amicably resolving your legal matter, we can settle your case. I have settled hundreds of cases for the courts and private parties and I can tell you, no case is the same. Each case is unique and the dynamic between the parties is unique. With a patient and experienced mediator, you could walk away and leave your legal matter behind you, as a past experience, if you are ready to do so.

Immigration Law:

We handle U.S. and Canada Immigration such as:

1. Criminal Rehabilitation and Temporary Residency Permits for U.S. Citizens inadmissible to Canada due to a prior crime committed in the U.S.
2. Foreign Nationals unable to enter the U.S. due to remarks in their border records
3. Foreign Nationals with inadmissibility issues such as prior criminal convictions, misrepresentation at the border, prior deportation, among others
4. Family Based Immigration
5. ICE detention and Deportation or Removal Hearings;
6. Customs and Border Protection issues such as entry and exit, I-94 and inadmissibility interviews
7. Obtaining Records from the Department of Homeland Security to correct and review Government information on foreign nationals as well as U.S. citizens
8. Investment Visas as Entrepreneur E Visas and large investors EB-5 in the U.S.
9. Investment Visas provincial and Federal programs for Canada
10. Obtaining Waivers inside and outside of the U.S. for clients applying to the U.S.

When you have an immigration problem with the federal government it can be frightening. I have helped many people to successfully obtain their legal status, have appealed immigration cases when necessary, and successfully obtained multiple waivers for non-citizens which allow them to lawfully reside in the United States.

I will not give you false hopes and expectations. I will give you an accurate assessment of your situation, and I will work to find the very best solution possible for your matter.
