Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) January 15, 2015 – Antonini & Cohen Immigration Law Group is pleased to announce that Nisha K. Karnani is now a partner at the firm.

Ms. Karnani is also considered an authority on immigration status for victims of domestic violence and other crimes.
“Nisha Karnani is a tremendous asset to the firm and the Atlanta community,” commented Marshall Cohen, Founding Partner. “Clients and peers appreciate Nisha’s personal, practical, and responsive approach as she finds creative solutions to their complex immigration issues.”

“I’ve worked with Marshall Cohen and Carolina Antonini for years and have learned a great deal from them,” Ms. Karnani added. “Antonini & Cohen values excellent work, professionalism, and dedication to clients and the community, which is why I’m so proud to take on my new role as partner.”
Ms. Karnani is active in the Atlanta community, providing legal and immigration assistance to victims of domestic violence through her involvement in organizations such as Raksha, a nonprofit that supports the South Asian community. She is also one of the founding members of the South Asian Bar Association of Georgia (SABA-GA) and currently serves on its Board of Directors.
