David Sebastien Gervais

I was born in Canada, went to law school in Montreal and got married to a beautiful American! We now have two children, and we live in upstate New York. I went through the immigration process and am now a proud American citizen. During my studies, I had the great opportunity to work in a restaurant kitchen, as a logger and as a carpenter-in-training. These experiences have helped shape my character. I have a unique perspective on individuals I now work with, whether they be defendants or immigration applicants. I can easily relate to those facing serious criminal charges or facing a difficult path through the American immigration process. This allows me to see and treat clients as more than just clients, but also as human beings who need help getting back on their feet and back on a better path through their lives. I have dedicated the last 18 years of my life to law. I hold a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in law and regularly practice in New York and in Quebec. I have been handling criminal cases since 2007, and I have been handling immigration matters since 2012. I routinely represent Canadian clients who face criminal charges in the United States, whether in New York State courts or in federal court for the Northern District of New York. I've also handled hundreds of spousal green cards, U.S naturalization and rehabilitation for Americans with a criminal record who wish to enter Canada. Read Full Bio
