PRACTICE FOCUS
Alfredo Acin represents executives and entrepreneurs, as well as their families and businesses, in resolving legal issues that touch all areas of their professional and personal lives. Whether the matter concerns divorce and custody disputes, or disputes over contract issues or collection of debts and judgments, through corporate governance or shareholder disputes or employment law matters, Alfredo is able to assist clients with navigating these complex matters in advance of and during contested court proceedings. While Alfredo prefers to resolve matters in an amicable and expeditious manner without exposing clients to the uncertainty of litigation, he understands that the desired outcome is not always attainable without court action, in which case, Alfredo will zealously fight and advocate for his clients.
In addition to complex commercial litigation and family law, Alfredo also has extensive experience in criminal defense. Furthermore, Alfredo regularly advises clients (both employers and individuals) in U.S. immigration law (both employer and family-based immigration applications).
