A federal judge once compared immigration law to  "King Minos' labyrinth in ancient Crete." Our immigration group, the largest in the Northwest, guides clients through this labyrinth. We handle cases for individuals, families, local businesses and multinational corporations. We represent some of the world's largest companies in computer software, banking, forest products and electronics and several biotechnology companies and international trading firms.

Our practice includes securing all types of nonimmigrant and immigrant visas as well as labor certifications, preference status leading to permanent residence, and naturalizations. We have extensive experience in dealing with federal immigration agencies and with U.S. consulates throughout the world. We also represent clients in removal (deportation and exclusion) proceedings, in administrative appeals and in federal court.  We have an experienced and flexible support staff of paralegals and legal assistants, and we use case-processing technology, enabling us to handle a large volume of matters including complex cases.

Our immigration lawyers are active in the American Immigration Lawyers Association. We are frequent speakers at local and national immigration law seminars and have taught immigration law at Seattle University School of Law.
