United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an Associate Attorney with a strong focus on immigration law, representing clients before state and federal agencies, including Immigration Courts. My experience encompasses complex trial and administrative matters, particularly in litigious removal defense and humanitarian relief. I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail, which allows me to draft, assign, and review legal documents effectively, ensuring that my clients receive the best possible representation.
Throughout my career, I have successfully negotiated complex separation and custody agreements, always aligning my strategies with my clients' goals. My ability to manage a heavy caseload while developing strong relationships with clients and colleagues has been a key factor in my success. I have collaborated with partners and colleagues on high-stakes litigation, where I have contributed to the development of innovative case strategies that have led to favorable outcomes for my clients.
My educational background includes a Juris Doctorate from Roger Williams University School of Law, where I was recognized for my academic excellence and leadership. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, and I actively seek opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge in the legal field.
