Immigration Law
From family petitions and green cards to deportation defense and visa matters. We handle all areas of immigration law, with federal court admission behind every filing.
Immigration decisions are made by agencies that rarely explain themselves and courts that rarely grant second chances. We prepare each petition as a record — complete, documented, and built to survive review on appeal.

Employer Immigration Counsel
Legal counsel for employers on visa matters, labor cases, and immigration compliance — with H, E, P, and TN visa expertise.
Employers carry immigration risk on two fronts: the visas they need approved and the compliance record they must be able to defend. We work both sides of that ledger, with a partner who reads a balance sheet as fluently as a statute.
Visa Sponsorship
- H visa sponsorship (H-1B, H-2)
- E visa for traders and investors
- P visa for athletes and performers
- TN (NAFTA) visas for Mexico/Canada
Compliance & Defense
- Employer sanctions guidance
- I-9 compliance and audits
- Labor certification support
- Immigration appeals and waivers
Criminal Defense
Defense in Dallas and surrounding counties covering DWI, assault, drug possession, theft offenses, and human smuggling cases — with proven strategy.
A charge is an allegation, not a verdict. We investigate before we negotiate, test how the State gathered its evidence, and prepare every matter as though it will be tried — because sometimes it must be.
Criminal Matters
- Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
- Assault and battery
- Drug possession charges
- Theft and property crimes
- Human smuggling cases
Defense Strategy
- Investigation and evidence review
- Plea negotiation
- Trial preparation and defense
- Appeals and post-conviction relief
Federal Tax Law
Representation before the IRS and the US Tax Court, argued by an attorney who trained as an accountant and internal auditor before he trained as a lawyer.
Tax disputes are won on documentation and procedure. An accountancy honors degree, an MBA in finance, and an LL.M. mean your numbers and your legal position are argued by the same person.
Tax Controversy
- US Tax Court representation
- IRS examinations and audits
- Collection defense, liens, and levies
- Penalty abatement requests
Planning & Compliance
- Individual and business tax matters
- Entity structuring for tax outcomes
- Delinquent and amended filings
- Cross-border and non-resident issues
Probate & Estate Planning
Wills, estate administration, and probate proceedings in Dallas County and across North Texas — handled with the discretion the moment calls for.
Estates are settled in a season when families have the least patience for procedure. We move the filings forward quietly and keep the paperwork from becoming the second loss.
Probate Administration
- Independent and dependent administration
- Determination of heirship
- Muniment of title
- Small estate affidavits
Estate Planning
- Wills and testamentary planning
- Powers of attorney and directives
- Guardianship proceedings
- Asset transfer and beneficiary planning
Business & Corporate Law
Formation, governance, and contract counsel for closely held companies — informed by years inside commercial real estate organizations before the practice of law.
Most business disputes are drafting problems that were never addressed. We put the agreement in order first, then stay available for the decisions that follow.
Formation & Governance
- Entity formation and structuring
- Operating and partnership agreements
- Corporate records and resolutions
- Ownership and succession planning
Transactions & Compliance
- Commercial contract drafting and review
- Commercial real estate transactions
- Employment documentation
- Regulatory and licensing matters
Two bodies of law, one file — because the second one usually decides the outcome.
A criminal charge with immigration consequences
A favorable-looking plea can be a removable offense the same afternoon.
An I-9 audit and a visa deadline
Compliance and sponsorship strategy get decided together, in one office.
An estate with unresolved tax exposure
One attorney reads the return and the will.
A business owner petitioning for a key employee
Structure, contracts, and petition drafted so none contradicts the others.
The same process, whichever area your matter falls in.
Consultation
You describe the situation in plain terms. We tell you what the law actually allows, what it will take, and what it will cost — before you commit to anything.
Case assessment
We collect the record: filings, notices, charging instruments, prior applications. Most matters turn on a document someone else overlooked.
Strategy
You get a written plan with the realistic outcomes ranked, the deadlines that govern them, and the decision points that are yours to make.
Representation
We file, negotiate, appear, and — where it is warranted — try the case. The attorney you met is the attorney in the room.
