Jason Lorenzon was recently admitted into the U.S. District Court - Southern District of Florida ***

Please read this article in the Hudson (Ohio) Monthly about our own Jason Lorenzon!

Senior Attorney Lori Pinjuh made the American Immigration Lawyer's Association (AILA) list of being a member of their organization for at least 10 years.

Scott Bratton successfully argued a case in front of the 6th Circuit! The issue was whether there are circumstances where BIA has jurisdiction to hear appeals of MTRs after a person was deported. The regulations indicate against this, but the court agreed with our Firm's stance that at least under the facts of our case that the BIA does have jurisdiction. This is big win not only for this particular case, but will have an impact on others. The case decision was published.
