About The Presenters:
Carter Law Group (cartervisalaw.com) is an immigration law firm focused on building a stronger America, one immigrant at a time. Each member of our team traces their roots to other parts of the world. We are committed to help you achieve your immigration goals and dreams, whether for yourself or your employees. While our primary focus is business immigration we also have extensive experience in assisting individuals and families to achieve their aspirations. Some lawyers try to be all things to all people; we concentrate our practice solely on immigration law.
CLG founder Kirk traces his roots to 1635 when his father’s ancestors fled England to escape religious persecution. His mother’s family’s immigrant story is far more recent with Kirk’s maternal grandmother arriving at Ellis Island in the early 1900s seeking opportunity in America. Kirk learned about his immigrant roots on his Nana’s knee, including how to curse in Finnish!
Our managing attorney Kate traces her immigrant roots through her mother, whose ancestors migrated from England to the “Colonies” in the 17th century. Likewise, her father’s grandparents, Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe and Russia migrated to the United States in the late nineteenth century seeking religious freedom and opportunity.

KIRK CARTER, ATTORNEY
CLG founder Kirk traces his roots to 1635 when his father’s ancestors fled England to escape religious persecution. His mother’s family’s immigrant story is far more recent with Kirk’s maternal grandmother arriving at Ellis Island in the early 1900s seeking opportunity in America. Kirk learned about his immigrant roots on his Nana’s knee, including how to curse in Finnish!The son of a Protestant minister, Kirk surprised his father by attending Boston College, a Catholic University where he studied political science and communications. Although fearful that the Jesuits would convert his son, Kirk instead gained a universalist view of philosophy, theology and government. Upon graduation from Suffolk Law School in Boston, Kirk joined the law firm of Fletcher Tilton.
At Fletcher Tilton, Kirk met his mentor, the late Alex Drapos, one of New England’s earliest immigration lawyers, who taught him how to treat every individual as though they were the most important person on the planet. Over time, Kirk built his own practice focused on helping individuals achieve their immigrant dreams and employers achieve their goal of staffing their companies with both high and lower-skilled labor.
An avid traveler, Kirk and his spouse have visited more than 30 countries over their 30 plus years together, including a pilgrimage to his Nana’s native Finland. They have visited India several times, where Kirk helped a client build an in-house immigration capability by providing training and orientation. Married without children, Kirk is the proud parent of Rafael and Ramon, the couple’s Havanese dogs, who themselves have become world travelers.
