Federal Immigration Attorney | AILA Pro Bono Champion | Former Public Defender
Seth Finberg is a federal immigration attorney with deep expertise in employment-based visas and green cards. A graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law, admitted by the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, Seth has been a member of the Georgia Bar since 2007.
Raised in South Florida and a graduate of Florida Atlantic University, Seth brings both national expertise and local roots to his practice. He represents clients across the United States in a wide range of employment-based and family immigration matters.
Seth's background as a former public defender shapes his approach to every case. In the public defender's office, success depended on one thing above all: building the strongest possible record, anticipating the government's arguments, and constructing an airtight defense.
That adversarial instinct translates directly — and powerfully — to immigration law. USCIS adjudicators review petitions looking for weaknesses. Consular officers probe for inconsistencies. Seth's job is to ensure they find none. He approaches every filing with the same discipline: identify the vulnerabilities before the government does, address them proactively, and present a petition that leaves no room for doubt.
In immigration law, where the margin for error is low and the stakes are high — a career, a family's future, a life in the United States — that adversarial preparation is not just an advantage. It is what the job demands.
Specialized expertise in visa and immigration matters for commercial pilots and aviation professionals — a practice area few immigration attorneys have mastered.
Deep specialization in the self-petition pathway — building NIW cases that demonstrate national interest under the Matter of Dhanasar framework.
Full employment-based immigration portfolio including H-1B, EB-1A, O-1, EB-5, E-2, and L-1 visas.
