Mike Allen

Attorney Mike Allen focuses on U.S. immigration law, with an emphasis on business immigration. He assists multinational corporations, as well as public and private growth companies and entrepreneurs with relocation strategies for bringing talented workers to the United States on a temporary and permanent basis. He also represents individuals in sponsoring family members and obtaining U.S. citizenship through naturalization. @ Mike "I love collaborating with international professionals, investors, experts, and families as they pursue their dreams in America. I also understand the immigrant experience on a personal level. My wife is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and I have lived abroad in Israel for 8 years - studying, working and starting a family. I know what it means to build a life in another country and the hard work and determination it takes to succeed along that path."
