Sophisticated and Creative Business Immigration Solutions
D&S partners with each client to assist them in identifying and executing the most effective strategy to achieve their goal of working and living in the U.S. We use our extensive experience and knowledge of applicable immigration laws and regulations to help clients successfully navigate the often complex immigration process. The Firm was founded on the principle that “one size” does not always fit all, particularly when it comes to developing business immigration solutions. By offering attorney-driven case management, we are able to work with clients - large and small - to develop an individualized strategy for each case.
We represent individuals, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and established organizations of all sizes on a wide variety of employment based and family-based immigration matters across diverse industries, including finance, real-estate, technology, engineering, architecture, fashion, and the arts, as well as hospitals and universities.
D&S provides counsel on immigrant and nonimmigrant visa strategies to meet each client's specific needs.
