JC has experience assisting clients with immigration petitions, student visas, waivers, asylums, bond requests and removal defenses.

Since 1997, when JC started his legal career at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, his priority has been to assist individuals and their families with humanity, trustworthiness, and dedication. In addition, through his acquired knowledge and experience from working at an immigration law office in New Jersey, as a paralegal, and then as an attorney, JC developed a strong knowledge of working with clients in cases of immigration, family and criminal law.
