personal Injury
In an event of an accident, first seek medical attention to avoid sustained injury. Take photographs of all your wounds and injuries, the scene of accident, and any property damage as soon as possible.
Report the accident to your insurance company and the at-fault party's insurance company. Speak with your lawyer BEFORE providing a statement to both insurance companies.
When claiming damages and seeking compensation, include all expenses such as cost of medication treatment, lost of wages or salaries, loss of lifestyle, mental pressure, and legal cost.
If you or someone you know is having difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact us for a consultation.

2012 Immigration Policy on Deferred Action. The 2012 policy, based on but not synonymous with the DREAM Act, allows certain individuals who arrived in the US before the age of 16 and are no more than the age of 30 relief from deportation or removal.
Permanent Residency. Permanent residency is a visa status given to individuals who may reside indefinitely within the United States without a citizenship. There are a number of ways Permanent Residency status can be obtained in the United States. A permanent resident will receive a United States Permanent Resident Card ("green card") allowing you to live and work permanently in the United States. You may be eligible to obtain your green card in the following methods:
through employment
through family
through NACARA
if you qualify as a "battered spouse"
If you are already a permanent resident or United States citizen, you can be a sponsor for green cards for other individuals such as family (spouse, children, parents) or fiance. We can also assist you in the replacement process of your lost or expired green card.
Citizenship. You can obtain your citizenship in the United States based on your residency in the United States and/or your parent's citizenship. If you are concerned about past criminal matters that may obstruct your eligibility for citizenship, our attorneys can review your records for a minimal fee. A review of your past records will allow our attorneys to evaluate the best options that are available to you prior to applying for citizenship.
