Government Experience

After law school, I completed the Department of Justice Attorney General's Honors Program and worked as an Attorney Advisor at the York and Baltimore Immigration Courts. I acted as front-line counsel to Immigration Judges, providing analysis and guidance on complex legal issues and drafting judicial opinions on behalf of the judges. This gave me a rare look at how judges think and what they need to see in order to approve a case.

I have experience with all types of removal cases, including: asylum, withholding of removal, Convention Against Torture, bond proceedings, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, humanitarian relief, and various types of immigration waivers. At court, I focused on detained cases at the intersection of criminal and immigration law, including complex issues such as crimes involving moral turpitude, aggravated felonies, and contested removability.

I also worked at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), within the Office of Chief Counsel, where I helped establish the Visa Petition Appeals Division and worked on Visa Petition Appeals.

My time working for the government is my greatest strength as your lawyer. I know how the government reviews cases from the inside. I understand what the Immigration Judges are looking for. I can use this knowledge to make your case as strong and clear as it can be. My goal is to use my unique experience to guide you through your immigration processes and toward a successful result.
