I still remember the moment I walked away from a traditional law firm career. I had no plan, no clients, and no guarantees, just a vision: to create a different kind of law firm. One rooted not in fear, but in love. One that honors the immigrant journey. One that makes space for lawyers to thrive, not burn out.
And now here we are.
I’m honored to share that I’ve been named to the 2025 Lawdragon 100 Leading Immigration Lawyers in the United States for the third year in a row.
This recognition is not just about me. It’s a reflection of the entire team at Garvish Immigration Law Group, a firm born from a simple but radical idea: that you can change lives and uplift the legal profession at the same time.
We help immigrants, entrepreneurs, families, doctors, innovators, and dreamers navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. We walk beside our clients with empathy, with love, and with fierce determination.
And to be recognized by Lawdragon alongside so many brilliant minds in immigration law is deeply affirming.
It tells me we’re on the right path.
That this way of practicing law with love, joy, and intention is not only possible, it’s powerful.
To every client who’s trusted us with their story, to every colleague who’s believed in this mission, and to every member of my team who shows up every day with heart and courage this is for you.
Let’s keep leading. Let’s keep loving. Let’s keep rewriting what it means to be a lawyer in this world.
