Immigration Judge Joins New York Law Firm

23 May 2006

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) May 22, 2006 -- Strasser, Asatrian, Asatrian & Syme LLP, a bi-coastal law firm is proud to announce that Hon. William Strasser, (Ret.), has joined the firm as a named Senior Partner in the firm's rapidly-expanding Immigration and Nationality Law Practice Group. He will be based in the firm's New York City offices.

Prior to his affiliation with the firm Judge Strasser served 38 years with the United States Department of Justice. For a period of 27 years, he served as an Immigration Judge which is presently under the office of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in Newark, New Jersey. Before his appointment to Immigration Judge he held numerous positions within the legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) including Immigration Inspector, Deportation Officer, General Attorney and Trial Attorney. Judge Strasser is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable, experienced, and well-respected individuals in the field of Immigration Law.

According to Harry Asatrian, the firm's managing partner and resident in Strasser, Asatrian, Asatrian & Syme LLP's Newark office, Judge Strasser's range of experience will be a strategic complement to the firm's growing Immigration and Nationality Law Practice Group, which has continued to grow, most recently with the addition of Kortan Toygar, Esq., as Associate Attorney.

"Judge Strasser's experience working in diverse sectors on a range of important immigration and nationality matters makes him an excellent addition to our practice," said Mr. Asatrian.

Mr. Asatrian further commented, «the depth and breadth of the experience which the Judge brings to the firm is not quantifiable in terms of regulatory analysis and application of the law. No attorney we bring on board can offer even comparable experience to our clientele. This addition puts our firm in a position where we will be much better suited to assist clients with complex immigration matters including, but not limited to, removal proceedings, asylum hearings and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and U.S. Court of Appeals.»

The attorneys in the firm's Newark office advise employers and individuals in all areas of immigration law and represent them in state and federal court and before administrative and quasi-judicial agencies. The attorneys also provide a wide range of client counseling and training in this crucial area, giving hands-on assistance and guidance to their corporate clients in the event of government audits.

The clients represented by attorneys at Strasser, Asatrian, Asatrian & Syme LLP's Newark office span a broad range of industries including finance, publishing, transportation, retail, entertainment and manufacturing. In addition, the firm's Immigration Law Practice Group serves the firm's entire nationwide clientele in visa, work permits, cross-border travel and citizenship matters.
