My DNA
Why These Photos?
I want you to feel comfortable and secure knowing that your case in in good hands. I understand and I have experience.
The photos above are family members who immigrated to America, fought for America, and made it a better place for us. I am also a dual American-Italian citizen based upon my mother's bloodline.
Part of my father's family came from Germany and part from England, even before the United States declared independence from Great Britian. My ancestors fought in Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War on the Union side, and in WWII.
There is something in my DNA that moves me to practice immigration law because I believe immigration works. Immigration is good for our country and good for our economy. Immigrants truly make all of us better, and better off, in so many ways.
The photos:
My parents' photo is next to me in the collage above. My father was a U.S. Marine. Below them are my grandparents and some of my great-grandparents. Some of them came from the Italian provinces of Abruzzo, Molise, Calabria, and Sicily. Others from Bohemia and the United Kingdom. The certificate is my great-grandfather's honorable discharge paper from his service to the Union during the Civil War.
My Philosopy
I've been there.
I truly care about America and our country's future. American enterprises grow our economy by employing both American and foreign workers. This helps all of us--we all do better.
My experiences guide my philosophy about how I treat others, how I practice law, and how I try to live my life. I appreciate the difficult decisions and sacrifices immigrants have had to make. It’s not easy to leave behind, the only life you’ve ever known and the people who were a part of it.
I understand the immigrant experience because my family lived it. I lived it when I moved to Italy. I understand your hopes and dreams for a better future. My grandparents also valued education, hard, work, living ethically and treating everyone with respect.
It is by these same principles that I practice law and represent my clients.
I practice U.S. immigration law in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. I can help clients with their U.S. immigration matters who live in any location, anywhere in the world
It would be my honor to help you or your company through the immigration process.
