Biography
Jason Abrams has been a partner with the firm since 2008. He specializes in employment-based and family-based petitions and applications, including H-1B, H-3, and L-1 nonimmigrant visas and all immigrant petitions, including skilled and unskilled workers, extraordinary ability, and multinational manager petitions. Jason also works on complicated situations involving fraud allegations or identity theft. Additionally, he appears in Immigration Court for adjustment hearings and Cancellation of Removal cases.
Jason is a member of the New York State Bar Association and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. For AILA, he is an active member of the New York Chapter and moderates two forums on the AILA Message Center for immigration attorneys.
Jason also is chair of the New York Chapter's Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law. This committee gathers evidence on and works with law enforcement to stop nonlawyers from preying on their local communities through unlicensed legal work. As there is no recourse against a nonlawyer whose inexperience or deception ruins an individual's chance at an immigration benefit, this practice is a major issue in every community in New York. Jason sees many clients who have been victimized by the unauthorized practice of law.
Jason was born in New York and graduated from Haverford College and Fordham Law School. He is fluent in French. He speaks frequently to other attorneys on employment-based immigration matters. Jason lives on Long Island with his wife Ewa and children Eli, Zoe, Theo, and Dexter.
