Scarfone Law Firm

About Scarfone Law Firm

Scarfone Law Firm is a Windsor, Ontario practice run by James A. Scarfone, who focuses on immigration law on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Scarfone holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Bachelor of Commerce, both with honours, from the University of Windsor, and a Juris Doctor from the Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University, graduating in 1990. Scarfone was called to the Florida Bar in 1991 and has practiced U.S. immigration law since then. The call to the Law Society of Ontario (then the Law Society of Upper Canada) followed in 2000, the same year Scarfone joined the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

That dual bar membership lets the firm handle immigration matters that cross both countries, from Canadian marriage, common law and conjugal sponsorships to U.S. marriage and fiance visas, waivers of inadmissibility and work visas. The firm also takes on Ontario real estate transactions, from residential purchases and sales to mortgage refinances and Land Registry Office registration, and offers wills, powers of attorney, estate planning and business incorporations through associate lawyers. The office is in Windsor, close to the Canada-U.S. border crossings that much of the firm's cross-border immigration work depends on.
