Apfel and Associates, P.C.

Specialties

The law is complex enough, but when economic and cultural issues are added to the mix, a transaction can risk being grounded before the first days pass. Our attorneys are fluent in business and culture and know how to prepare a client to make their dreams a reality in a globalized and rapidly dynamic marketplace.

With a team of globally minded professionals who have decades of collective experience, we provide primarily transactional legal services to our clients in the legal fields of immigration, corporate and health care law. Specifically, our firm brings a globally focused practice to the Valley which is nimble and creative enough to tackle complex international legal issues. We also offer litigation related services focusing on international legal disputes.

Our clients range from multi-​national corporations to local start-​ups and individuals. From immigration/​asylum services to personal business legal concerns, we work one on one with our clients to assist them in moving forward.

Our firm’s partners and attorneys understand that «the grass is only as green as you have the time to water it» and therefore we have a deep commitment to work with the community either by working with local companies, spending time offering advice at legal clinics or by working with philanthropic endeavors to make our home a better place in which to serve.
