Two systems, one client.
Rajesh Barua practices where the two hardest systems in American law collide: a criminal charge that carries immigration consequences, and an immigration case shadowed by a criminal record. Born to Peruvian and Bengali immigrant parents, he knows what a removal case means for a family - not abstractly, but personally.
He represents clients in Immigration Court, before the Board of Immigration Appeals, and in the United States District Courts - removal defense, relief applications, and the criminal-immigration crossover work most firms hand off.
On the record.
