I am an immigration lawyer specializing in helping foreigners who have been abused by a person or by government authorities. After high school, I lived throughout the northeast US -- including Boston and Philadelphia -- and France.

In 1999, I returned to south Florida, opened my law firm a few years later, and am now looking to reconnect with high school friends.

I am proudest of my two teenage daughters, the recognition I have earned in my career, and my volunteer work in national politics.
