Why should someone hire my firm over the other competitors?

My mother and I have gone through the process of emigrating to the US.  Additionally, I have many family members who have emigrated to the US, Canada and Europe.  So as a result, whenever a client comes into my office, I treat them in the same manner I wish to be treated or as I would want my family to be treated.  Before a prospective client leaves my office, they have the assurance that they have selected someone who will never abuse their trust, because that is extremely important to me.  For however long our attorney/client relation is contracted for, you are treated with respect, dignity and professionalism.  You are guaranteed honesty, as well as competent and quality service.

Biographical Info:
Born in Jamaica and emigrated to the US in 1985.  After completing High School in New York, I attended Rider University in Lawrenceville New Jersey, where I graduated with a BA in Philosophy in 1994.  After taking 4 years off to enter the work force, I then attended the Massachusetts School of Law, where I graduated with a JD in June 2001 and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in January 2002.

I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association ("AILA") and the Massachusetts Bar Association.

Since 2002, I have been practicing immigration law, handling all immigration litigation matters before the Immigration Courts Nationwide and the Board of Immigration Appeals; the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services; the Federal Court of Appeals in the First, Second, Third and Fifth Circuits; the US District Court of Massachusetts, for clients residing throughout the Massachusetts and Nationwide.  In addition, my litigation experience includes handling family law matters before the Probate and Family Courts throughout Massachusetts.

Primary areas of practice: Family and Employment based Immigration, WAVA, Deportation and Removal, Citizenship and Naturalization, Divorce, Guardianship & Adoption, Child Support Modification and Personal Injury.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
