When your ability to access the talent your company needs is at risk, or your ability to live and work in this country is in jeopardy, you should entrust your case to a lawyer who has familiarity with the workings of agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We know the system inside and out, and our team will stand by you throughout your case, working diligently to help you achieve the best possible outcome. ADA B.
