Time for giving thanks

Thanksgiving is a time for people to take a step back and reflect on all of the wonderful things and events that we should be grateful for, and to give thanks to those people who played such a key role in helping us achieve them.

I would like to give thanks to all of the people who have been so kind and supportive of me and my immigration law practice.

Thank you to all of my clients. I realize that you are the reason I am able to keep my doors open. I can assure you that I will never take you or your business for granted. I also know how important your immigration matter is in your life and in the life of your family. I appreciate your trust and confidence in my office, in allowing us to handle such an important matter.

Thank you to the entire Filipino community. I truly appreciate your warmth and support, and I thank you for all of your letters telling me how you enjoy my articles. I am happy to be of service to you, and I will continue to support Filipino events and causes.

Thank you to all of our friends in the media, who through their prestigious publications, enabled us to reach those who need our services and inform the Filipino community about newsworthy immigration information. You serve as an avenue to help "BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER" and help "MAKE THE AMERICAN DREAM COME TRUE."

Thank you to my staff. Your tireless efforts and dedication to our clients are the main reasons we can continue to provide quality service to our many loyal clients.

Thank you to my wife Millie. People say that behind every successful man, there is a Filipina wife. Now I know it’s true. Words cannot express my gratitude for your help, support and dedication to our business.

Thank you to the Almighty. Without His blessings, benevolence, and guidance, none of this would be possible. May He allow me to continue to be able to assist people with their problems, and allow the prayers of all people to be answered and fulfilled.
