I feel really lucky to have found an area of law that I truly love. Immigration law is an immensely complex field, and constantly changing. This is what makes it so fascinating and intellectually challenging. Immigration is also incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.  

 

My law degree is from University College Dublin. I am admitted to practice in the State of Texas (1995) and in Ireland (1986). I am licensed to practice in all Texas courts, the Federal District for the Northern District of Texas and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

 

I worked for the European Union in Brussels, Belgium before emigrating to the US. I have also lived in Sydney, Australia.
