About

I help entrepreneurs and companies bring talent to the U.S. without getting lost in the process. At Altius Immigration Law, I handle every case myself, from first call to final approval. Clients don’t get passed off to staff. They get direct access, consistent communication, and realistic timelines. My work focuses on O-1, L-1, EB-1, PERM filings, helping employers stay compliant with their I-9 obligations, and other business immigration matters. I represent startups, founders, and expanding companies that need immigration handled right the first time. My priorities are accuracy, predictability, and staying ahead of policy changes. When USCIS or DOL shifts direction, I let my clients know what it means and how to adapt. Before founding Altius, I worked at nationally and internationally-recognized law firms. I earned my J.D. from Georgetown University, where I received two CALI Awards for top performance, an ABA Scholarship, and a Certificate in Refugees and Humanitarian Crises from the Walsh School of Foreign Service. Those experiences taught me how to combine precision with perspective, and these are the skills that now shape how I practice immigration law. As a two-time Olympian, I’ve learned that preparation and follow-through separate wins from near-misses. That’s how I approach every case. If your company is planning international hires or new U.S. operations, you can reach me directly here or schedule a short call through my booking link.
