Australia owes its prosperity and success in the world as a place of freedom, fairness and equality with immigration being the base from which it benefits from.  It is a land reliant on having a strong immigrant workforce integrating and adding to the culture and its ongoing prosperity.  We act as immigration lawyers and agents on behalf of overseas individuals seeking to make Australia their home or on behalf of business seeking to sponsor overseas workers on short, long-term or permanent ongoing contracts.  There has also been a growth of cases in foreign citizens holding permanent residence visas finding themselves facing deportation due to criminal convictions involving custodial sentences normally limited in term but with the huge lifelong consequence of having their visas cancelled.

We handle large complex cases and have had many successes.  One in particular involved a US citizen who contacted us one evening out of desperation. He was a former Bank manager who had suffered severe injuries as a result of a motor vehicle accident that had landed him on the streets of New York where his family had abandoned him due to his behavior  The matter went before the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory but on our application was listed for trial in New York owing to the large number of medical expert witnesses being located in New York.  An out-of-court settlement for a seven figure sum in favour of the plaintiff was negotiated and reached between the parties.
