About

I am the son of Italian immigrants who came to the United States in order to seek a better future. I was raised between Mississippi and Florida, and I have been living and working in New Orleans since 2007. I initially came to the Crescent City to work in a project to support and defend immigrants who had come to rebuild the city following Hurricane Katrina. In 2012, my wife Carol and I opened our own immigration law firm with a vision of providing the highest level of representation to our clients and to help them gain access to unique opportunities in our country. Our mission is to give immigrants access to the American Dream and to add bright and brilliant new flavors to the melting pot of our community and country. It is an honor to work for immigrants, who enrich our country by bringing their dynamism, drive, history, and families to the U.S.
