The Law Office of Amy Ghosh is based in downtown Los Angeles with satellite locations in the San Fernando Valley. It is a full-service law firm meeting the needs of the professional and business communities. A graduate from La Verne College of Law in 1998, some of Ms. Ghosh’s practice areas are Immigration Law (H1B, Labor Certification, Business Visas, Political Asylum, and Deportation Defense), Employment Law (Hour & Wage Law Dispute, Wrongful Termination, Sexual Harassment & Discrimination), Business Litigation, Family Law, and Bankruptcy.

Speaking with us on Immigration Law, Ms. Ghosh says her area of expertise is Deportation Defense and employment-based immigration. “I represent many lawful permanent residents who are in deportation proceedings for a broad range of criminal convictions.” The immigration judge is primarily concerned with whether a person was convicted of an aggravated felony. It is hard to explain to the family members of a detainee why their relative is facing deportation proceedings for a minor crime. Misdemeanor convictions for aliens can lead to their becoming aggravated felons in the eyes of Immigration Law for such minor offenses as parole violations. “My advice,” she tells me, “is to get naturalized if you are eligible for citizenship.” HW: “I guess I have my answer as to why you love your job.”

ATTORNEY AMY GHOSH: “Absolutely. I’m an immigrant myself from India, so I know the value of having a Green Card. It is very fulfilling to be in a position to secure Green Cards for my clients.”

HW: “Now, you’re also heavily involved with VAWA – can you tell me more about that?”

ATTY. GHOSH: “Sure, VAWA stands for the Violence Against Women Act. Sometimes women from other countries marry American men and then become victims of domestic violence. I am able to get them out of these marriages and get them their Green Card. I have also gotten asylum for women who were victims of domestic violence in their home countries.”

HW: “What other types of ‘asylum’ cases do you handle?”

ATTY. GHOSH: “I’ve been able to get asylum for clients facing political and religious persecution, or discrimination in their country based on their sexual orientation.”

HW: “It sounds like you do practice other areas of law in your firm.”

ATTY. GHOSH: “In Business Litigation we help resolve conflicts in matters ranging from contractual disputes and unfair business practices to complex commercial transactions. We have substantial experience in business torts including cases involving business defamation, trade secrets, trademark infringement, and violations of California’s Business and Professions Code. We provide representation in most aspects of business law including the financing, formation, operation, acquisition, and disposition of business entities such as corporations, general partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures.”

HW: “I know your firm provides expertise and experience in managing complex employment and general workplace legal issues confronting employers and employees; what are some of the other areas you handle”

ATTY. GHOSH: “We counsel clients in a wide range of industries on a broad spectrum of issues including wrongful termination, discrimination and sexual harassment, unfair competition and trade secrets, labor law aspects of mergers and acquisitions, terminations and work force reductions, privacy and defamation issues, wage and hour laws, employee benefits, and compliance with state and federal regulations affecting the work force.”

HW: “How would you describe what you’re really accomplishing here at your firm?”

ATTY. GHOSH: “I provide conflict resolutions – I help people get their lives together.”
