Mr. Kanu handled cases dealing with revocation of licenses of  Registered Nurses, Pharmacists, Dentists, General Contractors, Auto mechanics etc.  

Mr. Kanu was admitted to the practice of law in October, 2001 by the Arizona Supreme Court. In the course of his practice, Mr. Kanu has represented individuals from at least twenty countries of the world in immigration and related matters. He represents persons and organizations before the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service all over United States and in Immigration Courts nationwide. Mr. Kanu also undertakes criminal defense of individuals in Arizona Courts. Mr. Kanu is a first generation immigrant and so understands the hurdles involved in the process of settling down in this country. His desire is to make the journey easier for those coming after. 

I have been there and done that as an immigrant and so I understand why people come to United States and why they want to stay, live, work and contribute to this great country.  They want to be part of this great success and are willing to give it their best.  The place of one's birth does not have to be the place of one's life or death'.  I have started and run businesses and know first-hand how difficult it can be to operate a profitable business without sound legal and financial advise.  It has to be done right from the beginning.  I have represented many individuals in crimes they even did not commit.  I know what it  takes to put smiles back on people's faces and hope in people's lives.That is what I am all about.  I am here to serve.
