HARRIS BEACH EXPANDS IMMIGRATION PRACTICE
Harris Beach PLLC is expanding its statewide immigration practice with the integration of Jason Abrams as partner and his three-generation family immigration law firm serving clients in the New York tri-state area.
Abrams has 18 years of experience supporting both businesses and families with immigration needs, from recruiting global talent for workforces to finding permanent residence options for trusted caregivers. He represents the largest state power organization in the country, many medium and small businesses, and individuals, including chefs, CEOs, musicians, journalists, and entrepreneurs. He provides representation in Immigration Court for adjustment hearings and Cancellation of Removal cases and engages in federal court litigation as a means to resolve both employment- and family-based cases.
In addition, Abrams focuses on the immigration status of au pairs, who are childcare workers admitted to the United States in a cultural exchange. He works with host families to obtain National Interest Exceptions allowing their au pairs admission to the country and later changes their status to visitor or student, or even adjusts them to permanent resident status.
“The addition of Jason Abrams not only enhances our existing employment-based practice by allowing us to better serve our downstate clients, but also broadens our capabilities in immigration law. Now, in addition to serving organizations, educational institutions and professionals, we also support families in the quest for citizenship,” said L.J. D”™Arrigo, co-leader, Harris Beach Immigration Law Practice Group.
The immigration practice of Harris Beach advises businesses, organizations, educational institutions, individual professionals and researchers with a broad range of immigration matters, as well as families on their citizenship aspirations. Harris Beach serves as immigration counsel to the largest system of public universities and the largest public health care system in the United States.
Founded in 1856, Harris Beach and its subsidiaries provide legal and professional services to clients across New York state, as well as nationally and internationally. More than 210 lawyers and consultants practice from offices throughout New York state in Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Long Island, New York City, Rochester, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse and White Plains, as well as from offices in New Haven, Connecticut, and Newark, New Jersey.
