Posted on March 26th, 2018

Raymond G. Lahoud, a Member of law firm Norris McLaughlin, P.A., and Chair of its Immigration Law Practice, has been recognized in JD Supra’s “2018 Readers’ Choice Awards” as the number one top author in the immigration category.  Over 1,000 authors covered the topic.

“Timely, current information and choosing topics that will impact and resonate with your audience is key.  It needs to be information your readers will act upon, otherwise it is just noise,” said Lahoud.  Most of the top-read articles in the category discussed USCIS, ICE, immigration procedures, immigration reform, visas, H-1B, foreign nationals, the travel ban, refugees, and the Trump Administration.

The “2018 Readers’ Choice Awards” recognizes more than 240 thought leaders for achieving the highest visibility and engagement in their particular expertise during 2017.  It recognizes 10 authors and one firm in 26 of the most popular categories, as well as one author in each of 8 recently-developing topics.  More information including a description of the selection methodology can be found here.

Lahoud focuses his practice exclusively on immigration law and deportation defense for individuals and corporations.  Lahoud has received numerous accolades.  He has been awarded the Empire State Pro Bono Counsel Award each year since 2012, has been selected as Lead Counsel, has received the Martindale-Hubbell Platinum Client Champion Award, and has been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star, ranked as a Top Rated Immigration Attorney in the New York Metro Area.  EB5 Investors, the leading online portal, conference series, and magazine for investors, developers, and EB-5 professionals, has named Lahoud one of the “Top 5 Rising Stars” nationally.  He was also named one of the 40 young professionals from the Greater Lehigh Valley as the Lehigh Valley Business 2017 Forty Under 40 for his commitment to business growth, professional excellence, and the community.
