Services

If you are applying for temporary or permanent residence in Canada and/or the United States, and you have concerns about how to complete the forms or what documents to provide with your application, I can help guide you through the process. I specialize in sensitive and/or complex applications that may require extra care and attention.

If you believe that you are facing risk of harm or persecution in your country of nationality, I can help you make a smart choice about how to seek protection in Canada or the United States. If you decide to ask for protection, I will help you navigate the refugee claim process from start to finish, including administrative appeals and judicial review.

If you have had a visa application refused or you are facing a removal order, I can help you understand the reasons for your inadmissibility, challenge negative decisions, and slow down or stop your deportation.

I formerly worked as a public defender in Minnesota, and I am currently licensed to practice in the state of Washington as well as in British Columbia. I understand how the criminal justice and immigration enforcement systems work in both Canada and the United States, making me uniquely qualified to assist with inadmissibility arising from criminal charges and/or convictions in one or both jurisdictions.

I practice at the intersection of criminal defence and immigration law.

If you are a foreign national facing criminal charges in Canada, I will help you defend against the charges and seek a resolution that prioritizes protecting your right to remain in Canada and/or travel to the United States.
