I pratice Family Law and Immigration. As an immigrant, I have personal experience with the imigration system and an a keen understanidng of the aspirations and challenges of an immigrant. As a husband and father for nearly thirty years, I believe in marriage and the family. So if I can help you and your family thrive, I am all in! If we can reconcile your differences in the marriage, count on us! If the marriage cannot be saved, we ensure that your rights are protected (safety, custody, support, division of assets) and do our best to resolve conflicts cordially.

With more than twenty years of not-for-profit work, I have spent all my adult life helping people in one way or another. I am the president of the Immigration Law Section for the Contra Costa County Bar Association and a member of the American Immigration Law Association (AILA). We have successfully represented clients in family court in seven of the nine Bay Area counties acquired visas for hundreds of clients over the years.

There are 1.3 million licensed attorneys in the U.S., most of them quite good, and another 20 thousand new ones each year. What sets us apart is the person behind the title. Away from the office, I enjoy a cup of tea and a good book (C.S. Lewis, an anthology of short stories, history, or philosophy come to mind). I also enjoy interesting articles on different of subjects and news from around the world. My wife and I enjoy movies and good music (James Taylor and Ivan Lins, for example). My family and I love to travel, meet people, eat good food, and enjoy good company.
