With over 30 years of experience practicing U.S. immigration law, Julia has built a national reputation for excellence in employment-based and family-based immigration.  She regularly advises start-ups, mid-size companies, and Fortune 1000 corporations on business immigration matters, helping clients navigate complex visa processes and stay compliant with U.S. immigration regulations.
Julia specializes in E-2 investor visas and has prepared and filed hundreds of nonimmigrant and immigrant visa petitions, including H-1B visas for specialty occupations, L-1 visas for intracompany transferees, TN and E-3 visas for professionals, and PERM Labor Certification applications.  She is well-versed in EB-1 and EB-2 green card petitions, including National Interest Waivers, and provides end-to-end immigration strategy for both employers and individuals seeking permanent residence.
Beyond employment-based immigration, Julia counsels U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents on family-based petitions, including K-1 fiancé visas, spousal green cards, and consular processing.  She also assists U.S. citizens and permanent residents in planning international relocations with their foreign national spouses, providing both short-term and long-term immigration guidance.  Her practice frequently includes consultations and second opinions for individuals navigating immigration issues with their current employers or during job transitions.
Julia has run her own immigration law firm for more than 16 years and previously held senior positions at leading national and international law firms. She was Of Counsel with Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP in San Francisco and a Partner at Duane Morris LLP.  She also served as a Partner at FisherBroyles LLP and Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP in Dallas, and as a Senior Associate at Baker McKenzie, where she led the Dallas immigration practice.  She began her legal career at Jenkens & Gilchrist, P.C. in Dallas.
Known for her collaborative style, legal acumen, and unwavering dedication to her clients, Julia provides personalized immigration counsel that aligns with each client’s long-term goals.  She is a trusted advisor to HR professionals, global mobility managers, entrepreneurs, and individuals navigating the U.S. immigration system.
Whether you are seeking to sponsor a foreign employee, invest in a U.S. business, obtain a green card, or bring a family member to the United States, Julia offers the experience, insight, and results-driven support you need.
