Additional Information

Im a Colombian lawyer, now living in the United States. Focused and open to learn. I would like to explore the immigration and corporations legal field, and I have knowledge and experience in this area.

I think I would be a great complement to any law office in the United States, since my Latin origins as well as my speaking in both English and Spanish languages will allow me to offer a good multicultural experience to both the office and the clients. I can improve customer relations and fidelity being able to understand their desires, doubts and true needs.
