Hello, I am Jan Albrecht, Immigration Attorney

Learning Immigration Law in the Real World

Law school doesn’t prepare you to be an expert immigration attorney.

Even if courses on immigration law are available, they are entry-level, so they barely scratch the surface.

I learned everything I know about the specialized area of immigration law by solving real problems for clients. Long before I went to law school, I apprenticed as an immigration paralegal at small, medium, and large law firms. To fulfill my ambitions, while I was a student at law school I established my own paralegal support business working as an independent contractor to immigration lawyers all over the U.S.

These formative experiences were invaluable. I learned the immigration regulations, statutes, and case law in the context of real cases and by applying them in creative ways. I learned what does and doesn’t work and why. When I became an attorney, thanks to many years of that specialized experience and systematic training, I already knew how to win tough cases.
