We are overjoyed to see another attorney from our firm assume the role of AILA president. Our team of legal professionals consistently extends their thought leadership beyond the walls of WR offices and actively engages in AILA leadership roles. Managing Partner and past AILA President Bernie Wolfsdorf expressed his pride, stating, “I am immensely proud of Farshad’s election and have no doubt that he will serve with unwavering dedication and compassion. He is the ideal leader in these challenging times.”

Farshad has a long-standing commitment to immigration law. Based in San Francisco, California, he has spent his career advocating for the rights of immigrants and their families. His dedication to providing exceptional legal representation has earned him wide recognition and respect within the immigration law community.
