Immigration lawyer dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities.
What I'm looking for
As an experienced immigration lawyer, I have dedicated my career to advocating for the rights of vulnerable individuals, particularly in the realm of immigration law. My journey began with a law degree from Federico II University in Naples, Italy, followed by extensive training and qualifications in immigration and international protection law. I have worked with various law firms, including Qore Legal in London, where I currently manage caseload intakes and prepare documentation for visa applications.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in legal consultation, assisting clients with asylum applications, family reunification, and residency permits. My commitment to social justice extends beyond my professional work; I actively volunteer with organizations like the British Red Cross, providing essential support to refugees and immigrants. My passion for human rights and legal advocacy drives me to continually seek opportunities to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve.
