In 1991 a represntative of Amnesty International reached out to me and said there were 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 oppotunity for a lawyer than to have a case where there are only winners, no losers, at the end of the day. 

Since 1991 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.   

Human migration is fascinating. It involves war and peace and love and dreams and protection from fear. I was drawn to this because it is one of the few areas or law that can have only winners. A good case will blend not just law, but psychology, politics, teamwork, and a hundred other ingredients. I try to accept only cases that will make a contribution to American society, or will lead to U.S. Citizenship, or that cry for relief from our distorted statutes. This is the only office in America that has handled immigration cases at both the Supreme Court of the United States and the Kentucky Supreme Court. On occasion, we have successfully challenged the government's incorrect interpretations of immigration law in the federal court system. Whether the matter is simple or complex, we give more than a typed form that is dropped in the mail.
