I am an immigration attorney who has been practicing for over 19 years. As an immigrant myself who speaks fluent Arabic, I am very passionate in serving my Arabic community with all aspects of immigration law, including permanent resident status and U.S. citizenship. I strive to the best of my ability, and I go that extra mile in order to assist my clients. I work one on one with my clients to remove any of their frustrations and to allow the immigration process to flow smoothly. I pride myself in speaking directly with my clients in Arabic so that they can become more at ease in moving forward with their immigration cases.
