Blick Law Firm Announces Immigration Practice

Blick Law FirmΒ has added Immigration Law to its practice areas, essentially helping immigrants discover pathways to citizenship.

The firm will focus on helping people obtain the proper authorizations to live and work in the United States.

β€œWe’ve heard from clients, associates, and other friends in the community that their family members are living in fear or in hiding,” said Michael Blickensderfer, principal attorney of Blick Law Firm. β€œBecoming legally authorized to live or work in the United States can feel overwhelming if you haven’t mastered the language or are trying to navigate the process alone. There’s a real – and justified – fear within our immigrant community.”

The decision to add Immigration Law as a practice area was personal for the firm’s vice president of operations and development Viviane Blickensderfer (Michael’s wife).

Her family moved from Egypt to New York when she was a young girl. The experience showed her the many risks that immigrants take, and their vulnerability prior to becoming authorized citizens.

The firm recently purchased a two-story, 3,000-square-foot office building that will serve as the firm’s headquarters.

Blick Law Firm will move into its new location at 3812 Gunn Highway in Tampa this summer.
