Ten Years & Counting!
Posted May 07, 2004

We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy celebrated our tenth anniversary this week, on May 5^th. We have come such a long way from those early days, that began with the same excitement and anxieties faced by anyone starting a new venture of this type. We have been very fortunate, thanks in large part to the support and loyalty shown by each of our clients, their families, friends, and colleagues, and I now share the responsibilities and the joys of each client's case with a strong, dedicated team of lawyers, paralegals, and support staff. We are grateful to all of you who have entrusted us with this important aspect of your lives over the years.

Facing this milestone, we revisited our Mission Statement, written years ago. While, at its core, it may appear not to be so different, this 2004 version reflects the input and vision of each person at our law firm. We wish to share our Mission with you and look forward to serving you, your families, and friends over the next decade and beyond!

Mission Statement

The Firm's Mission is to help every person who is pursuing the dream of coming to the United States. We believe our country's strength lies in its diversity. Through the efforts of Sheela Murthy and our team of attorneys, paralegals, and staff, we seek to:

• Develop legal and ethical strategies and provide outstanding service to every client, with a commitment to excellence;
• Empathize with each client throughout the complex immigration process, understand their dreams, and celebrate their joys and successes;
• Foster a positive and team-oriented work environment, where our mutual respect for each other and our excitement for our work is shared with our clients; and
• Educate our clients and the immigrant community with our continually expanding, cutting-edge knowledge of immigration laws and regulations.
