“I am a first generation Muslim Arab-American, and I understand how difficult the immigration process can be. My experiences helped me gain the necessary skills to eliminate the frustration of the client during their immigration process. The less frustration my client has the better focus he or she has for their future.” – Nesreen J. Said
