I am a licensed U.S. immigration attorney representing companies and individuals seeking temporary or permanent legal status in the United States based on employment, extraordinary ability, trade, investment, and family relationships. My practice focuses primarily on high-talent employment-based and complex immigration matters, including the L-1, O-1, EB-1, and EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) categories. I also work in collaboration with other immigration law firms in senior capacities, providing strategic guidance, petition drafting, case assessment, and complex matter expertise in a wide range of employment-based immigration cases. In addition to full case representation, I regularly provide objective case evaluations and second-opinion consultations for individuals and employers seeking candid assessments of case strength, eligibility, filing strategy, RFEs, NOIDs, and long-term immigration planning. I also frequently advise individuals on complex or borderline immigration matters before they decide whether to proceed with formal representation. I have prepared and successfully filed hundreds of immigration matters before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), ranging from straightforward filings to complex and time-sensitive cases. Reviews and recommendations from satisfied clients can be found on LinkedIn, Google, Avvo, and other professional services platforms. My approach is practical, detail-oriented, and candid. I prioritize clear communication, realistic case assessment, and carefully prepared filings tailored to each client’s specific circumstances. CREDENTIALS • Licensed to practice law in the State of New York • 2026–2027 Member, American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) • Authorized under federal law to practice U.S. immigration and nationality law in all fifty states and before U.S. consulates worldwide • J.D., New York Law School

With 18+ years of experience spanning immigration, healthcare regulation, labor law, privacy compliance, and estate planning, I help individuals, businesses, and organizations navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes — without the overhead of a traditional law firm. My career has taken me from the courtroom to the boardroom. As a Senior Attorney at the New York State Department of Health, I spent a decade advising state bureaus on regulatory compliance, statutory interpretation, and public health law — including serving on the legal team for New York's COVID-19 pandemic response. As a Hearing Officer with the New York State Department of Labor, I have presided over 100+ mediation and compliance conferences, recovering over $4 million in wages for workers across New York State. And as a Judge Advocate General with both the U.S. Army Reserves and the New York Air National Guard — a role I have held for over 15 years — I have guided service members and their families through estate planning, wills, trusts, and the unique legal complexities that come with military life. **Here's what I can help you with:** **Immigration Advisory** Guidance on visa pathways (H-1B, O-1, EB-5, TN), adjustment of status, naturalization, asylum, and removal defense strategy. I have successfully advised on 20+ asylum cases and secured cancellation of removal for multiple clients. **Healthcare & Regulatory Compliance** Compliance reviews, regulatory gap analysis, and policy interpretation for healthcare organizations, startups, and providers navigating state and federal regulations — including HIPAA, Certificate of Need (CON) requirements, and public health law. **Labor & Employment Compliance** Advisory on wage and hour compliance, employer obligations under state and federal labor law, workplace policy review, and regulatory risk assessment. Backed by hands-on experience presiding over labor disputes at the New York State Department of Labor. **Estate Planning Document Review & Advisory** Review and advisory on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and beneficiary designations. Particular expertise serving military families, international clients, and blended family situations requiring nuanced planning. **Contract, Privacy Policy & Terms of Service Review** Plain-language review and advisory on contracts, ToS agreements, privacy policies, and business documents — ensuring your paperwork says what you think it says and protects you the way you need it to. Whether you're a startup needing your privacy policy reviewed, a small business navigating employment compliance, an individual with immigration questions, or a family planning for the future — I bring institutional knowledge, real-world experience, and a practical, client-first approach to every engagement. *Licensed in New York. Available for advisory and consulting engagements worldwide.*
