I had my oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

I’ve returned from Washington, D.C. and I’m ready to resume doing consultations.

 

The homepage of my website says, “I do not take on more cases than I can handle.”  That time has come.  I have decided to temporarily suspend doing consultations until after November 4, 2015.  I do not have the time to both handle my current workload and do consultations. I actually have a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.  I will be arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court on November 3, 2015.  The preparation for oral argument before the Supreme Court and whatever existing cases I have will take up all of my time between now and November 3, 2015.  After my oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court, I should be able to resume doing consultations.

Please understand that I am a solo practitioner without any staff.  I even answer my own phone.  This is the way that I like to do things.  Unfortunately, I do not have the means to take on any new cases at this time.

***  I currently do not have the time to meet people for consultations.

***  I currently do not have the time to speak to people on the phone about consultations.

*** I currently do not have the time to respond to e-mail inquiries about consultations.

Please do not call or e-mail about consultations until after November 4, 2015.

IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING CLIENT, DO NOT BE CONCERNED.  I AM SUSPENDING CONSULTATIONS, SO THAT I HAVE THE TIME TO WORK ON MY EXISTING CLIENTS’ CASES.  ALL WORK WILL BE DONE ON MY EXISTING CLIENTS’ CASES.

Thank you!

 

Yesterday, I spoke at the Practicing Law Institute‘s continuing legal education program, “Basic Immigration Law 2015.” I spoke with Linda Kenespaske on a panel called “Inadmissibility and Removal Grounds and Procedures.”  Among the topics that I spoke about were: (1) nuts and bolts of a removal proceeding; (2) bond, detention, and mandatory detention; and (3) post conviction relief.  I like teaching basic immigration continuing education courses because I know that I’m helping new immigration lawyers to learn about practicing immigration law.
