We work to navigate through a complex bureaucratic system to achieve our clients' goals - working with individuals to multinational corporations.
I am a partner in the firm of Slowik & Robinson. I specialize in a wide variety of immigration areas including health care, employment, academic, J waivers, multinational executives and specialty workers, and family-based petitions and applications.

Before joining with Donald Slowik, I worked in the immigration practice groups of a large law firm of nearly 400 attorneys and a small law firm of 40 attorneys. While I view these experiences to have benefited my growth as an immigration attorney and legal professional, I agree that the legal environment which offers clients the best synergy of value, attention, and expertise is in a boutique practice rather than a large law firm setting.

I graduated from The Ohio State University College of Law, where I received the FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) Fellowship on my way to obtaining a Certificate in International Trade and Development, which included a summer program of study at the Ecole Superior de Commerce de Nantes Atlantique. My cum laude undergraduate degree in Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) prepared me well for my current specialty and provided me the opportunity to study at the John E. Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg.

I have been published by local and state bar associations in the area of immigration law and I am a co-author of Genocide in Cambodia: The Trial of Pol Pot and Ieng Sary (University of Pennsylvania Press, April 2000). I have also been recognized for his expertise in the field of immigration law, having served, since 2003, as Special Counsel to the State of Ohio on immigration matters.

Growing up, I was taught that there is nothing more rewarding than being in the service of others. Also, I wanted to use advocacy, rhetoric, and the spoken and written word to resolve disputes (which essentially means, as a child, I was picked on and needed to find a non-physical way to stand up for myself... so I relied on a sharp tongue...). When I was young, I thought the practice of law was noble (and still do). I should also mention that I was encouraged to be a lawyer to compete with my twin brother (the doctor) and I knew that if I became a lawyer with my clients' interest always in mind and I practiced with integrity, I would make a decent living.
Please review my work experience.
I have always been intrigued by travel and languages. I enjoy international politics, business, and dealing directly with indiviudals. Immigration law is a perfect synegy of these elements.

On time.
I have two beautiful sons (don't take my word for it, ask my wife...), two ornery cats, one beautiful and ornery wife. They take up most of my free time; however, I enjoy travel, I am a TV (American Idol, C-Span/CNN and 24) and a movie-junkie (anything that has subtitles or a talking bear), and weekend warrior athletics.
