WEISS & KAHN, P.A.

WEISS & KAHN is committed to providing the type and quality of legal representation that we ourselves would seek: attentive, cost-effective, creative, and thorough. If we cannot handle a matter this way, we will refer you to counsel who can.

We practice Immigration and Naturalization Law; Appellate Litigation in State and Federal Courts (including appeals to the various review bodies within the immigration bureaucracy); and run a General Practice (covering Family Law, Commercial Litigation, International Law, Professional Licensing and Discipline, and Administrative Law).

Our clients range from large multinational corporations to small businesses and individuals, both within and outside the state of Florida, and around the world. Weiss & Kahn is "AV" rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
