Family Matters

Our office represents clients in family matters that relate to a pending or future immigration process. We represent individuals in single parent and third-party petitions for custody in anticipation of a petition for special juvenile immigrant status. We represent individuals seeking a divorce from a partner who is located outside of the United States. And we represent individuals in need of a document to give permission to a non-parent to temporarily care for their children whether it is due to travel, education, or emergency need.


Expungement

If you are experiencing barriers to employment, professional certification, or housing because of an old criminal conviction, we can help you to petition the court for an expungement which will seal your record and prevent public access going forward.
