While studying at SCU, he interned at their community law center and focused on family-based immigration, VAWA petitions, political asylum, and criminal victim (U-Visa) cases.
Prior to founding the American Visa Law Group he was a member of a full-service immigration law firm, and was quickly promoted to manage and train the staff of attorneys and paralegals. While practicing he has prepared/managed over two thousand cases and mentored and trained several attorneys.
