Hi and welcome. This Lawyergist profile is very complete. Should you wish to know more than what is contained here, you may also wish to check my website: or my blogs:

I practice both Immigration and Nationality Law and Social Security Disability law.

As to the immigration field, I represent people in removal (deportation) proceedings.  I also assist small businesses in obtaining professional visas such as H-1Bs or L-1s for their employees.  I represent applicants for political asylum, and religious workers and individuals at all stages of the naturalization process.  Finally, I help people who wish to bring their family members to the United States.

In the Social Security field, I represent disabled individuals at administrative hearings and in federal court.      

In both areas I have taken cases to the federal court and up through the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have listed a couple of the cases in my profile.

I am the secretary and past president of the SL (Second Life®) Bar Association ().  The picture in the profile is a picture of my law office on Second Life.  If you have access to Second Life, you may find my office here:
