Major Addition to Gendelberg Law

Gendelberg Law, a leading immigration law firm based in New York, has recently welcomed former U.S. Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, David Cheng, to their team. This strategic move aims to enhance the firm's immigration practice by leveraging Cheng's extensive experience in immigration law, garnered over two decades of federal service.

David Cheng brings a wealth of knowledge to Gendelberg Law, having previously served within the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). Throughout his commitment to public service, he held key positions including Immigration Judge at the Newark Immigration Court and later Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, where he managed multiple immigration courts and oversaw cases for both detained and non-detained individuals. His deep insight into the immigration process will greatly benefit the firm’s strengthening representation of clients.

A Vision for Effective Advocacy

Leonard R. Gendelberg, the founder and managing attorney of Gendelberg Law, expressed enthusiasm over Cheng's addition. He noted that the firm is dedicated to improving its advocacy for individuals and families navigating the complex U.S. immigration system. Gendelberg emphasized that immigration cases involve life-changing circumstances for clients, making it crucial for the firm to have experienced representatives like Cheng to guide them effectively.

Cheng’s background encompasses a unique perspective—as he has not only worked as an attorney in private practice, but also as a government attorney, Immigration Judge, and Assistant Chief Immigration Judge. This multifaceted experience positions him as an extraordinary resource for both the legal team and the clients they serve.

Transitioning to Private Practice

Cheng's decision to join the private sector was motivated by a desire to directly apply his legal expertise to assist individuals and families. In his own words, Cheng stated, "After more than two decades of federal service, I felt the time was right to use my experience and knowledge in a more direct way." His passion for addressing the challenges clients face in the immigration system aligns perfectly with Gendelberg Law's approach, which emphasizes preparation, accessibility, and individualized representation.

In his previous roles, Cheng handled various aspects of the immigration process, bolstering his understanding of immigration law and courtroom operations. By identifying potential obstacles and implementing proactive strategies, he assures clients of clear guidance through their cases. Cheng is particularly drawn to the comprehensive nature of Gendelberg Law's immigration practice, which covers essential areas such as asylum, removal defense, and family-based immigration.

Commitment to Client-Centric Services

Inside Gendelberg Law, Cheng's move from the bench to private advocacy symbolizes a meaningful integration of institutional knowledge with the personal touch required for immigration representation. The firm emphasizes the gravity of every immigration case, reminding its team that behind each client’s case is a human story filled with potential separation, uncertainty, and hope.

Sopiko Gugava, Senior Legal Analyst at Gendelberg Law, highlighted the human element of immigration law by stating, "Behind every A-number is a human being who may be separated from a spouse, a child, or an entire life they have built here." This commitment to understanding clients’ stories profoundly shapes Gendelberg Law's approach, with Cheng's insights providing invaluable perspectives when determining how to guide clients.
