Adam S. Elman, Attorney at Law
A clear path through U.S. immigration law.
Visas, green cards and family petitions, handled with care by an attorney with more than 30 years of experience. We speak English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Immigration is the heart of the practice
Adam focuses his practice on immigration and U.S. visa matters. Whether you are bringing your family together, coming to work or study, or answering a denial, he prepares every case carefully and explains each step in plain language.
Cases we handle
- Family petitions and green cards
- Temporary workers: H-1B, H-1B1, H-2A, H-2B, H-3
- Treaty traders and investors: E-1, E-2
- Business visitors: B-1
- Students: F-1
- Fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens: K-1

- Visa denials and inadmissibility
Visa denied? That is not always the end.
A denial, or a finding that a loved one is “inadmissible,” is hard news for any family. Adam reviews what went wrong, gathers the documents and evidence that matter, and tells you honestly what options remain.
