Fail fast to succeed faster

  • Renee tells us that she wished that she had found immigration law earlier in her career.
  • Renee explains that she failed to network effectively early on.

Tell us something good

  • Renee tells us about a past client who was a young man abandoned by his parents and living in an abusive home.  The judge signed the order the day before his 18th birthday.  A great result!

What’s on your desk?

  • Renee tells us that her primary focus is waivers.  For example a client came to the country illegally and married a US Citizen.  If Renee can show hardship to the US Citizen spouse, the imigrant can stay.
