April 2026 Newsletter
Clients in the Office
This month, we had the pleasure of welcoming a corporate client to our office for an in-person visit. It was a valuable opportunity to discuss immigration matters in greater depth, exchange insights, and strengthen our working relationship. Connecting face to face allowed for more meaningful conversation around ongoing cases and future planning.
We also shared coffee and light refreshments during our discussions, creating space for thoughtful dialogue and a stronger personal connection. We appreciate opportunities like these to collaborate closely and continue building trusted partnerships.

Team Updates & Insights
April 28th marks the one-year anniversary of one of our paralegals, Katherine, with the firm. Over the past year, she has become an integral part of our team, bringing a background in technical writing and a Bachelor’s degree from UMass Amherst as well as a strong ability to manage some of our more complex cases with care and precision. We are grateful for her contributions and proud to celebrate this milestone.
This month, we also welcomed a new member to our administrative team. Please join us in welcoming Ildiko, our new Operations and Administrative Coordinator. We’re excited to have her on board and look forward to her contributions to the firm.
Congratulations Katherine!
Welcome Ildiko!
Our Business Operations Manager recently attended the 2026 ALA Annual Conference & Expo in Maryland. As her first time participating in this event, she made the most of the experience—expanding her knowledge, gaining new insights, and exploring ideas to further support the firm’s operations and growth. She looks forward to applying what she learned and to attending future conferences.
We invite you to visit our About Us section to meet the rest of the team.
