Biography

Prior to practicing immigration law, Carl served as a complex litigation consultant to the defense teams of many Fortune 100 companies, including Shell Oil, British Petroleum, Chevron, Chesapeake Energy, Bank of America, UBS Bank of Switzerland, Johnson & Johnson, American Airlines, and Walmart. He has acted as counsel for over 800 clients in a defective product litigation involving defective construction materials.

Carl has always believed that success begins with hard work.  He started mowing orange groves for his father at the age of 8 and continued working for his father’s construction company through high school. Carl took extra classes throughout high school and graduated from high school at age 16.  While working two jobs in college, he saved enough money to attend law school without applying for a student loan.  He has developed residential and commercial real estate projects and understands the day to day frustrations faced by small business owners.

Carl is a licensed Certified Building Contractor in Florida and is a licensed attorney in the State of Texas. In addition, he is admitted to practice before all Immigration Courts in the United States and the Board of Immigration Appeals, as well as all Tax Law Courts in all fifty states.  His unique background and qualifications have enabled him to guide foreign investors through the process of doing business in the United States.  Carl’s hobbies are scuba diving, boating, and rescuing animals.
