My 25th Anniversary of Practicing Immigration Law!

June 21, 2022 by Matthew

In the Fall, I posted about how I celebrated the 10th anniversary of starting my solo law practice. I just realized another anniversary. I have been practicing immigration law for 25 years. That’s a long time to be doing something! I got my first job as an immigration lawyer in April 1997. I started out working part-time at what used to be called Bretz & Associates, Inc., and went on to become a partner with the successor firm Bretz & Coven, LLP.

I’ve had a pretty amazing career as an immigration lawyer. There is virtually no one who has had a career as an immigration lawyer that is comparable to my career as an immigration lawyer. I’m one of the few immigration lawyers to have argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. I’ve successfully litigated twelve precedent decisions in the U.S. Court of Appeals. I am an adjunct professor at Brooklyn Law School where I created my own course on deportation defense. I also spent a semester at Fordham University School of Law’s Immigrant Rights and Access to Justice Clinic. I’ve lost count, but I believe that I have taught at least 70 continuing legal education courses on how to practice immigration law.

I’m glad that I became an immigration lawyer. I enjoy what I do. I have saved a lot of people from deportation over the last 25 years. It’s important to me that I get to do work where I can help people and make a difference in their lives.
