Before launching my own practice, I spent years managing complex personal injury matters, including high‑stakes, multi‑million‑dollar trucking and auto accident litigation.

So while immigration is my first love, I still enjoy fighting for my injured clients.

If you’ve been injured in an accident in Texas or Maryland, let us fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Do not file a claim on your own or communicate directly with the adverse party’s insurance company, whose goal will be to minimize your claim and offer you far less compensation than you deserve.

Personal injury consultations are FREE, and you pay no legal fees unless and until we recover a settlement for you.

Forgivable does not always mean irrelevant.

Some immigration violations may not automatically disqualify you from getting a green card. But USCIS may still consider them as negative factors when deciding whether to approve your case as a matter of discretion.

👉 Swipe through to see 5 issues that could come back up during your green card process and why knowing what is already in your immigration record matters.

At some point, you just have to respect their decision 😔😂

My staff deserves respect too, and that part is non-negotiable.

A green card gives you the right to live and work in the U.S. It does not give you the right to vote in federal elections.

A Houston-area green card holder recently pleaded guilty after illegally voting and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship. Now, she faces potential prison time, a significant fine, and serious immigration consequences.

With the November elections approaching, do not assume you can vote simply because you received a voter registration card or ballot.

Already registered or voted as a noncitizen? Speak with an immigration attorney before your next immigration filing.

Some clients leave on a good note. Others leave such a lasting impression that they inspire a brand-new office policy. 😂😭

You live, you learn, and you update the engagement agreement accordingly.

$103,265 to file an H-1B petition? That is what USCIS is proposing.

DHS has proposed a new $103,265 additional fee for cap-subject H-1B petitions, on top of other applicable filing fees.

But before you panic, this is only a proposed rule. It is NOT final.

And yes, this is separate from the other $100,000 H-1B payment you may have heard about.

There is a lot more to this proposal, including who would actually be affected and which H-1B petitions would be exempt.

Read the carousel for the full breakdown and what employers and H-1B workers need to know.

Save and share this with someone navigating the H-1B process.

A major immigration policy just got struck down, and if your immigrant visa case has been stuck, you need to know what this means.

Since January, immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries had been paused, leaving some applicants unable to receive visas even after moving through the consular process.

Now, a federal judge has struck down that policy — and cases refused solely because of the 75-country policy must be set aside and reconsidered.

Note: This is different from the separate 39-country ban. If your country appears on both lists, your visa may still be restricted because the 39-country ban remains in place.

And remember: this ruling does not necessarily mean your case will automatically restart.

Swipe through the carousel to understand what was struck down, who is affected, and what you should be doing now.

Save this post and share it with someone whose immigrant visa case has been delayed or placed on hold.

Please remember to check on your immigration attorney.

Between unpredictable denials, RFEs asking for evidence we already submitted, and NTAs being issued while cases are still ongoing… we are going through it over here.

A simple “How are you doing, Attorney?” goes a long way these days.

Signed,
Your immigration attorney who is also trying to survive this administration.
