I have been involved in Immigration Law since 1989 when I started working for a refugee resettlement agency in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We were resettling mostly Russian Pentecostal refugees from the former Soviet Union. I speak Russian fairly well (at least I did at that time), and I was the chief contact with the Russians --- helping them get resettled, and helping their sponsors assist the refugees.

That experience sparked my interest in Immigration Law, and I entered Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and graduated in 1996. I clerked with two local judges and entered the general practice of law in Lancaster. However, my interest in Immigration Law still continued, and in 1999, I went out on my own where Immigration Law made up about one-third of my practice. From mid-2004 to April 2007 I worked in a firm where I continued to practice Immigration Law as a significant part of my practice. In May 2007 I decided that the time was ripe to go out on my own again --- but this time limiting my practice solely to Immigration Law.

Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to design my practice in a way that fits my personal priorities. Most of my practice I have worked out of my home so that I can be with my family. My wife home schooled our four children, and working out of my home gave me the opportunity to assist with the home schooling --- which I very much enjoyed.

I now have an office in Elkton, Maryland. I still serve people all over the world.

I look forward to meeting and serving you! Give me a call or send me an e-mail. E-mails allow me more flexibility to get back to you!
