Experienced Immigration Attorney

In 1991 a representative of Amnesty International reached out to me and said there were very few immigration lawyers in Kentucky to assist with pressing needs. I quickly found that I loved all aspects of immigration law, whether family, business, deportation defense, or human rights. What could be a better opportunity for a lawyer than to have a case where there are only winners, no losers, at the end of the day.
Since then I have represented, or interviewed (as an immigration officer), nationals of 100 countries, been employed as an Adjunct Professor of immigration law at Louis D Brandeis School of Law, lobbied Congress on Capitol Hill, and lectured at bar association meetings. This is the only office in America that has litigated immigration cases at both the Supreme Court of the United States and the Kentucky Supreme Court. On more than one occasion, I have successfully challenged the government's incorrect interpretations of immigration law in the federal court system. Most recently, when we defeated the Trump Administration’s attempt to force U.S. Citizen spouses to wait overseas for many years (or be separated for many years) while their immigrant partner awaited lengthy visa processing.
