About

Since 2003, the primary focus of my professional career is and has been the practice of U.S. Immigration Law, having successfully served hundreds of clients worldwide.

It is my goal to smoothly secure the most appropriate type of visa or other immigration benefit that best suits my client's individual need. Promoting my client's understanding of the various types of visas and greencards, and the manner in which they can be most appropriately utilized, is crucial to me.

Being a registered member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), and having earned the prestigious "AV-­‐Rating" from Martindale-­‐Hubbell, and the "10/10 Superb Rating" from Avvo, I am considered experienced and well-­‐trained in U.S. Immigration matters and am competent to answer your questions and handle your immigration situation.

I am a fully licensed and accredited attorney in Florida, eligible to practice in the highest court of the State of Florida, as well as within the entire federal jurisdiction of U.S. Immigration Law, including its agencies. I can represent you, your family, or your company, worldwide, no matter where you are located. My immigration practice involves virtually all offices of USCIS in the United States, and many U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the globe.

I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise on matters of U.S. immigration law, visa policy, business law and business practices, and issues surrounding business consulting.

Over the years, I have authored many articles (online and in print) on various aspects of U.S. immigration law, including visa strategies, legislative and regulatory updates, de-­‐mystifying government agencies, and providing insight into government practices. I am also a published author on Amazon.com

I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at St. Petersburg College in the Paralegal Studies department, teaching an introductory immigration law course to paralegal students seeking a Bachelor's Degree.

Having spent about 20 years in Germany, I am a native-­speaker of German. I am a 1998 graduate from the University of South Florida cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science and Int'l Affairs, and a 2000 graduate from Stetson University College of Law.

I run a very busy immigration practice which is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
