We like to think of ourselves as "small but mighty" and we regularly get results others can never achieve. Why? Because we don't take cases where we are not convinced there is a remedy there; there is a goal for us to shoot for. Under Attorney Suriel's leadership we have advocated and won many "impossible" cases all the way up to the US Supreme Court. Our litigation team relishes the challenge whether before USCIS , US-ICE, US-CBP, US-HIS or the many levels of immigration related courts. You will be individually mentored and you will be taught all the hidden nooks and crannies of US immigration law. You will be spending a considerable amount of time with our Senior Litigation Partner, Attorney Suriel who brings not only 34+ years as an immigration advocate, he has been steeped in the US immigration system since his case started in New York in 1969. Attorney Suriel is very proud of having mentored 5 previous Associate Attorneys. Every single one of these attorneys have gone on to illustrious careers as immigration advocates. The vision is for the successful applicant to be Attorney Suriel's final mentee. While Attorney Suriel is an active mid-60 year old, the firm envisions the successful applicant having the potential to step into the role of successor of the firm past the current regime. The successful applicant is looking at a ground floor opportunity to build a 40+ year career. It is important to note that during these uncertain times where US citizens are being killed on the streets of US cities, where over 60 people have died in ICE custody, many now call themselves "Immigration Lawyers." Many of these lawyers are totally fake & false; these Johnny-Come-Latelies are mostly snake-oil salespeople looking to make a quick buck. The DNA of this law firm is deeply steeped in expertise, knowledge, skill and patiently applying all the past lessons to achieve the best result possible for clients. If you are serious about becoming the best immigration lawyer you can be, then we look forward to your being the successful applicant. Lastly, Spanish proficiency is very important; however, if you are not totally fluent, we will make you so. The key to all of this is your burning desire to become the very best.
