David M. Cantor, Esq.
Before graduating law school in 2014, I was already in the process of becoming an “international lawyer”. I spent significant time abroad, namely in China, studying comparative international law at a top-rated University and working as an associate for a premier Beijing-based law firm.
My first position out of law school after being sworn in as a lawyer in New York State was with a boutique NYC-based immigration law firm, where I worked for nearly 8-years before launching my own immigration venture. Throughout the course of my career, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals, families and businesses achieve their international expansion and relocation goals. I’ve also forged relationships with top international lawyers and law firms around the world.
On a personal-level, I am a dual US-Italian national and currently live in Florence, Italy. In fact, my first immigration case before graduating law school was for my future wife.
This solo-practice is dedicated to representing clients for legal services I value most. It is also meant to be very hands-on. I deal individually with each client and provide a custom-tailored legal solution for each case. All my clients have a different story and legal need. While I do accept domestic-based cases in the United States, my primary focus and clientele are foreign nationals and legal cases that have a cross-border element to them.
And although my career and the legal space continue to evolve, it is always my mission to provide clients with a professionally-driven and human-centric approach. I’ve navigated countless complex legal challenges over the last decade for clients and there is no technology that will replace a client-attorney relationship at its core.
