As a partner at Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres in the corporate immigration practice, I serve a diverse and global clientele. With over 30 years of experience in immigration law, I have developed a deep understanding of the complex and dynamic legal and regulatory environment, as well as the business and human needs of our clients.My practice covers a wide range of work visas, as well as green card and citizenship applications for individuals and corporations. I also advise and assist clients on immigration issues related to mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate changes, and help companies develop sensible immigration policies and practices associated with hiring global talent. In addition, I am a regular speaker at legal and industry conferences, sharing my insights and best practices on immigration topics. I served as the Chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, Chicago Chapter, and in a variety of other liaison positions at the national level. My mission is to provide high-quality, responsive, and ethical immigration services to our clients, and to advocate for a fair and humane immigration system. I am passionate about helping people achieve their personal and professional goals, and contributing to the economic and social development of our country. I am proud to be part of the Croke Fairchild team, a leading law firm with a reputation for excellence and innovation.
