About this attorney

I have been practicing immigration law since 1997. I maintain a small practice where I have a close relationship with my clients. If you hire me, I will be the person that works on your case. The primary focus of my practice is deporation defense. I handle cases in immigration court, before the Board of Immigraiton Appeals, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals. I also handle adjustment of status and naturalization cases. I have extensive experience in dealing with criminal immigration matters. I often consult with criminal lawyers regarding the immigration consequences of proposed plea agreements.

Throughout their legal career, Matthew has concentrated their practice on complex immigration filings, including citizenship legal assistance, deportation/removal defense, and green card legal assistance. Having graduated from Quinnipiac University School of Law, they bring rigorous statutory analysis, thorough evidentiary documentation, and meticulous case preparation to every client petition before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and regional Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration courts.

Recognizing that immigration matters are deeply personal and critical to their clients' future, Matthew maintains transparent communication and accessible counsel throughout every stage of the legal process. Their office conducts thorough initial case evaluations, helps clients understand potential risks and timelines, and provides clear, personalized guidance from initial petition submission through interview representation and appellate review.
