Meet the Manager

Attorney Elias Z. S.

Manager

The founding and principal attorney, Elias Z. Shamieh, established his firm 26 years ago with a keen interest to make certain that the process of immigration is as smooth as possible. His associate attorneys, Ana Olmos and Ann Barhoum, also understand the anxiety and stress that clients face. Elias had to go through the process of American immigration, just like any other immigrant that comes to the United States. By doing so, he acquired a familiarity with the system that helps him to relate to situations most immigrants experience. Ana is an experienced immigration attorney with a winning track record for complicated cases. Ann also represented clients in divorce proceedings and other family law matters as well as business escrows and other business related matters. Elias has also represented clients in bankruptcy cases.
