Jul 2008 — Present
As a certified specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law by the California State Bar, I bring a unique perspective to my role, shaped by my personal journey as an immigrant from the United Kingdom. Licensed to practice in both California and New York, my expertise spans handling diverse immigration matters including nonimmigrant visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1), immigrant visas (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3), and corporate I-9 compliance audits.My experience includes representing a wide range of clients, from Fortune 500 companies and major entertainment organizations to high-profile individuals in technology and various other industries. I\'ve successfully navigated complex immigration issues, reflecting my commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of this nuanced field.Recognized as a thought leader in immigration law, I\'ve contributed through articles, presentations, and panel discussions, sharing insights with both peers and clients. My work has been acknowledged in The Best Lawyers in America® (2023 edition) and I\'ve been a Rising Stars selectee consistently from 2013 to 2023.In my leadership journey, I\'ve served on the CBP National Committee and the CBP Liaison Committee for the Southern California Chapter of AILA. I\'m currently an active member of the British American Business Council (BABC) Los Angeles Board and hold leadership roles within WR Immigration’s Innovation Committee and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
