I attend seminars and participate in self-study programs to comply with my continuing education requirements and stay updated with changes in the law which gives me the tools to be a better advocate for my clients.

1. My client was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was charged with multiple grounds of removability including crimes of moral turpitude, aggravated felony, and multiple controlled substance convictions. I was contacted by my client's family to defend the client in immigration proceedings. I reviewed the client's case and determined that although client was born abroad, the client was a U.S. citizen through 8 U.S.C. Section 1832(a) something the client was unaware of. I appeared at the Master Hearing at the detention center and filed a motion to terminate proceedings and for client's immediate release from detention.

Result: U.S. government dismissed all charges and released client from custody. Client can now enjoy the benefits of being a U.S. citizen instead of being deported.

2. Naturalization application was granted after I filed a Mandamus Action in Federal Court. My client applied for naturalization about a year and a half ago and has not been called in for a naturalization interview. After repeated inquiries with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, client received the same response that the application is pending background check. After giving the government an opportunity to resolve the matter did not result in any action, my office filed a Mandamus action against the U.S. Government to compel adjudication of the naturalization application.

Result: Naturalization application was granted a month later and client has been scheduled for an oath taking ceremony.

I established my law office in September 2007. My office is located in downtown Los Angeles, CA.

The focus of my law office is to provide clients in need of immigration representation with competent and vigorous representation while adhering to strict ethical standards. Each case is given the appropriate time, thought, and preparation. No case is too big or small. I feel that each client's situation is important to him or her and I treat every case with an equal level of importance.

My office subscribes to electronic legal research library to stay current with changes in the law and recent cases.

After graduating law school and passing the bar examination, I worked briefly for a law firm that specialized in immigration cases. I handled various cases and represented clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Immigration Court.

Prior to becoming a lawyer, I was a banker that worked for both major and small financial institutions focusing on investigation and compliance.
