ATTORNEY ERIN I. O'NEIL-BAKER has more than 10 years of experience in family-based immigration & naturalization matters. Spanish is spoken at her office, and she is a member of AILA and the Pro Bono Network of the CBA.

She can consult with you on your options and help you plan ahead. Your initial consultation is free of charge.
