I now have added Immigration to my practice. Recently, I have received many calls from frantic people about their immigration status. There is a growing panic that even with a green card, they are no longer can assume they are safe to stay in the country. It came to me that I had a way to help others who do not have the information to handle the bureaucracy and increasing resistance from Trump Administration to accepting the ideal that this country is built on immigration. That is not the ideals I grew up on, and I cannot fathom the pain this is causing people with unclear immigration statuses.

It is now the time to ensure that others have the same benefits as others before them. It is no longer viable to sit and wait for the best. I hope I can contribute to their dreams or, at the minimum, give them a clearer answer.

Foodie Monster

March 6, 2017 Sanjay Sabarwal

So I spent a majority of my time this weekend beginning Thursday, eating different kinds of foods. From a boys night out at the Blind Rabbit (a hidden speakeasy at the Anaheim Packing District) to fast becoming one of my favorite breakfast restaurants No Toro, I spent indulging myself with intimate conversation and the relaxed view that I earned all those meals. I also managed to get the wife great dessert at Coffee Code while she treated me to amazing fish at Mariscos Choix. When people ask why I work out, I always reply to eat. This is not to suggest that I gorge myself (although there are times I have), but my insistence that to live a life of legacy means enjoying the journey as well.

So finding new places, new conversations about interesting foods and drinks motivate me to push myself in other words. I mean what is the point of doing so much work when I do not give myself rewards. Bribing myself works, and I recommend everyone to become a foodie monster!

Legal

In Times Of Uncertainty: Legal Reasons #38

It’s never easy when fundamental changes are occurring in the work place, one’s marriages, and going through unexpected injury or immigration changes. One of the best advice I received from legal professors was “when in doubt, ask. ” The worst that can happen is a no, but more often you learn something new, gain a new perspective or get more grounded in your beliefs.

Recently, I have fielded several calls on divorce, wrongful employment, and immigration concerns. Each time, I ask the party to check in with themselves to ensure they are OK with themselves. Courts are a slow process, and it can wear you down so the best thing one can do for themselves is ensure they have the proper support structure to surround themselves. Now I realize that in some cases, some parties truly feel alone, but there are organizations and activities one can do to distress themselves. Worry is just an illusion of doing something. Procrastination due to fear can lead to inaction which guarantees failure. So no matter the legal situation, pick up the phone and ask!
