Firm Focus and History

I have been practicing immigration law for over nine years.

Previous Employment Summary

Prior to coming to the U.S., I had extensive legal experience in India dealing with corporate, commercial and intellectual property laws. I have worked in the legal department of a leading multinational company, a patent law firm, a solicitor's law firm and as legal counsel at Calcutta High Court.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

We encourage self-education, as clients are better equipped to give us their input regarding their case.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

We answer questions during the initial consultation. However, we do not review documents unless we are filing the case.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

We answer questions during a consultation, but we do not coach clients who want to represent themselves.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people.
