About

I specialize in immigration and naturalization law. My clients included CBS News and major clients in the financial and fashion industries. I have an excellent track record with complex business immigration cases, including temporary visas and green cards for individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, and business. I also have a background in finance and audit law and have worked on major international SEC enforcement matters, including FCPA cases. Previously, I was a staff attorney in an international law firm, an associate in a criminal defense law firm and a legal adviser to government agencies and non-profit organizations in Switzerland, including the Swiss Federal Audit Office and the Swiss Fund for Needy Victims of the Holocaust.

I truly enjoy assisting businesses large and small in relocating talent from all over the world to the United States.

I have successfully handled a large number of EB-1 Extraordinary Ability cases for professionals from the world of music, art, business, and science as well as non-immigrant visas including E-2, L-1, O-1, and R-1. I also have experience with Labor Certification (PERM) and National Interest Waiver cases, and I have represented clients requesting hardship waivers.
