Kevin D. Slattery, P.A.
Immigration law firm located in Tampa, FL. He was inspired to open his practice in 2006 by his dedication to providing clients with the thorough representation that they deserve and by his desire to truly help others. The firm offers assistance in naturalization, family-based and employment-based immigration matters as well as in deportation defense. As part of his deportation defense practice, Mr. Slattery consults often with criminal defense attorneys who represent non-U.S. Citizens in criminal defense cases, but who themselves have no knowledge of immigration law or the potential negative immigration consequences for their criminal defense clients.
