Wilson, a partner at Lippes Mathias LLP and co-leader of the firm’s immigration practice team, focuses on building long-lasting relationships with clients as a trusted advisor rather than solely completing transactions and filings.

In addition, Wilson represents individuals and families with family-based immigration petitions and waivers for admissibility issues.
