Biography

Harold Carrow is of counsel to the firm and practices part time in family immigration. He is the grandson of Edwin Carrow, who founded the firm in 1934.

He joined the firm in 1986 and was a partner from 1994 until 2019. Over those years he handled family petitions, green cards and naturalization for several generations of the same families.
