JEREMY L. RICHARDS, ESQ. is the founding partner of Richards and Jurusik and launched his independent legal practice immediately upon entering the field of law. He concentrates exclusively on U.S. immigration law, bringing particular emphasis to business immigration and a specialized focus on assisting Canadian citizens and businesses. With a strong track record, Mr. Richards has effectively navigated immigration issues for a diverse range of businesses, from small enterprises to large international corporations.

Mr. Richards has carved out a distinct niche in the realm of cross-border mobility for Canadian clients. He offers tailored advice on TN Visa status, L-1 Visas for business expansion, and E-1 and E-2 Visas for international traders and investors.

Prior to his legal career, Mr. Richards amassed over a decade of experience in Sales and Operations Management, holding a variety of senior roles including Vice President of Sales and Operations Manager. This extensive business background affords him a comprehensive understanding of human resource practices and the internal workings of both public and private corporations. This business acumen enhances his capability to align immigration solutions with the specific needs of both employees and employers.

Adding to his professional depth, Mr. Richards gained vital insights into government interpretation and enforcement of U.S. immigration laws during his time with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Buffalo, New York.

Outside of his professional commitments, Mr. Richards is actively involved in the community. He contributes to youth sporting programs and community outreach. He is an Eagle Scout and served a 2-year mission in Salvador, Brazil for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He is also the proud father of seven children and an avid outdoorsman.
