Academic Immigration, Medical Immigration & International Tax Attorneys

Dedicated Legal Experts Committed to Your Success

Welcome to our firm, where legal expertise meets personalized, client-focused legal services. We provide exceptional legal solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients with a special focus on immigration issues in academia and medicine.

Our special focus is on international students and scholars (F/J/M visas), SEVIS certification, designation and compliance, academic medicine -- both research and clinical, including graduate medical education, and I-9/E-Verify compliance.

Our legal services extend to family and employment immigration issues that affect the academic and medical communities and extend beyond immigration to international taxation -- and specifically foreign national taxation (or "nonresident alien tax"). With our deep legal knowledge and commitment to client success, you ensure you receive high quality immigration and tax representation.
