Kelly McCown

I have practiced immigration law since 1994, and have handled cases in almost all areas of immigration law. My current specialty is employment-based immigration. I am one of fewer than 300 attorneys certified as a specialist in immigration and nationality law by the State Bar of California, and have received the highest possible rating ("AV Preeminent") for legal ability. Since 2004, I have been honored every year as a "Northern California Super Lawyer" by San Francisco Magazine and Law & Politics Magazine and have been recognized twice since 2004 as one of the “Top 50 Female Super Lawyers” in Northern California across all legal specialties. I have also been recognized as a "Thought Leader in Immigration Law" several times by Who's Who Legal (Lexology).My goal as an immigration lawyer is to provide superior client service at competitive legal fees to companies large and small, and to individuals, entrepreneurs, and investors. My clients are located throughout the United States and the world. My firm also uses technology effectively to meet our clients' needs, offering customized case status reports and 24/7 web access to our client management database.Specialties: Employment-based visas; labor certification; employment-based permanent residence applications; advising employers on federal compliance issues in the areas of mergers and acquisitions and government audits, H-1B recordkeeping, and I-9 compliance; family-based permanent residence applications; and naturalization.
