Frank G. Becker & Associates (see website)
Contact: Mrs. Cristina Milaciu
Ph: 248-830-0610

Mrs. Milaciu was a practicing attorney in Romania until she immigrated to the United States. She now lives in Pontiac, Michigan, with her husband and 20 year old daughter.

She currently works as a paralegal and is continuing her education in order to acquire her license to practice law in the United States. Her work as a paralegal allows her to perform all the duties and functions of an attorney, the only difference being that she cannot represent clients in court.

Mrs. Milaciu is an active contributor to www.romportal.com where she answers immigration related questions to anybody who is in need of legal advice. She sincerely hopes that people who come to the United States on temporary visas will explore their options in order to legalize their status instead of staying illegally and would like to help as much as she can.

Frank G. Becker & Associates offers a free initial consultation.
