Monica Ren’s Biography
My name is Momo Ren, I am an immigration lawyer in NYC. I have my own law firm, it is small but growing fast. I come from Beijing, and came to the United States for my master study in law around ten year ago. When I was young I was not quite sure what it means to be a lawyer, but I knew as a certainty that I love helping people and seeing people succeed. Once I finished law school and passed NY bar, I was thrilled to find that I could utilize my expertise and cultural background to help likely minded people with talent all around the world to arrive and thrive in the United States—-that was why I chose to practice immigration law initially. Looking back on what I achieved, I am gratefully that I chose a career that combined my interests with my skills.
