I lived the struggles that come with growing up as a first generation American citizen. I come from modest means but I have used the hardships and sacrifice as fuel to create something of myself and make my parents proud. I have spent my career helping people like my family navigate the legal maze that is the U.S. immigration system. As judge of County Court-At-Law 7 I would use my experience and determination to reduce this court's considerable backlog and serve justice with integrity.
