What Makes Carlos Tick?
Helping others to live, work, and go to school legally in the United States is not just my profession. It is part of my family heritage.
Immigration rules are strict. Over the past two decades, they have become stricter, almost on an annual basis. As more and more immigrants seek to become legal residents, the U. S. government has made the process tougher and tougher.
My dad was an immigrant. I sometimes ask myself, if he was still alive, how would his applications to become a permanent resident and U. S. citizen be handled by the U. S. government today?
Would my father have needed to hire an immigration attorney to help him? How would that attorney have helped him as a client? How would that attorney have treated him as a person?
My father’s spirit guides me when I represent clients. Every case I handle is done in his honor and memory. Every immigrant I assist is a reminder of his courage and inner strength – the same courage and inner strength all immigrants need in order to succeed.
Every immigrant I help is a tribute to my father . . . an immigrant who made it possible for me to enjoy the many benefits of living in the United States.
I know and appreciate the immigrant experience. When I accept a case, it’s based on my belief that I can make a difference in helping other immigrants earn the opportunity to become productive and contributing members of our diverse society.
Like my dad.
