Anjali has experience handling an array of cases, from family law, criminal and civil litigation. Currently she focuses her practice on Immigration, handling all of the Firm’s Removal/Deportation and Asylum cases.
Anjali is well aware of the impact immigration proceedings places on families. Thus, she works zealously for her clients to insure the best outcome for their situation. From filing bond motions and attending the bond hearing so that her client may be released from detention to be with his family members to filing motions to re-open/re-consider cases and decisions that have been denied, Anjali knows exactly what must be done and exactly how to do it.
Anjali tenaciously represents her Clients before the Immigration Court, seeking any and all relief her Clients are eligible for, including Asylum, Adjustment of Status, Cancellation of Removal, Stay of Deportation, VAWA, Withholding of Removal, CAT, and Voluntary Departure.
