About Bruce

For many years I served as a federal prosecutor, an attorney supervisor and a project manager, working for the U.S. Departments of Justice (INS) and Homeland Security (ICE). Now I am pleased to serve the needs of the immigrant communities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and beyond. I offer a broad range of immigration services, including family-based immigration, naturalization, deportation and removal defense, political asylum, waivers of inadmissibility, non-immigrant visas and deferred action. I believe that the United States has achieved its greatness, first and foremost, because we are a nation of immigrants. Our country is at its best when each person makes his or her own unique contribution, and together we celebrate the diversity of our great nation. I am proud to be able to use my background and training to help enable people to achieve the American dream.

Knew exactly how to handle a tricky RFE

USCIS sent a 14-page RFE on my O-1. The response was filed in two weeks and approved without further questions.

Frequently asked

A 30-minute video or phone call. We review your situation, identify the best path, outline timelines and costs, and answer your questions. You'll receive a written summary afterwards.

Most cases are flat-fee. Pricing depends on category and complexity, and is shared in writing before you retain.

Only the initial consultation is paid through Immigrantio (via Stripe checkout). Once you retain, the lawyer bills you directly — retainer, milestone or hourly fees go straight to the firm's own trust account. Immigrantio is not in the chain of custody for case payments.

Conversations on Immigrantio are end-to-end encrypted. For sensitive case documents and original evidence, you'll exchange those directly with the lawyer by their preferred secure method — Immigrantio doesn't store your case files.
