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. I run a very busy immigration practice which is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
I assist my clients with living, working and conducting business, or studying in the United States, helping each client make the United States their new home, either temporarily or permanently. From time-limited Visas, to permanent residence (“Greencard”), to U.S. Citizenship, whatever YOUR path in the United States may be. 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.
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.
Over the years, I have authored many articles, including books on AMAZON, on U.S. immigration law, and a book on Cryptocurrency investing and one Beekeeping.
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.
I am also a volunteer attorney on the Florida Bar’s Committee of Unlicensed Practice of Law (UPL) for my local judicial district, helping combat fraud and malpractice committed by unlicensed individuals on members of the public.
Having spent 20 years of my formative 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.
When I am not “at work”, I spend my spare time as a Beekeeper, engage in fencing and Krav Maga, among various other interests and pursuits.
