Christy has a passion for immigration law because she herself was an immigrant. She left Vietnam when she was an infant and was raised in Southern California. She is a naturalized U.S. Citizen.

Christy’s abilities as a lawyer — coupled with her personal understanding of the high stakes involved for her clients — are keys to success in her immigration practice.
Prior to law school, Christy was a business consultant at Deloitte Consulting, where she provided management and technology consulting services — including business strategy development, web-based development, and implementation of business enterprise-wide information systems — to Fortune 500 companies.
