BAL has won the Best Place to Work accolade for the Dallas Metropolitan Area 2022 by Comparably, one of only 15 companies selected for the honor. The award-winning corporate immigration firm scored an “A+” for culture and ranked seventh on Comparably’s vaunted list.
Comparably also ranked BAL a “Best Company for Diversity” and a “Best Company for Women” for 2021 and a “Best HR Team” for 2022. BAL’s Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge ranked in the top 5% of CEOs of similarly-sized DFW companies.
“This recognition is especially rewarding because it comes from our own employees,” said Jeremy. “They are the ones who deliver world-changing service to our clients, who create our unique culture and make this truly the best place to work.”
The Comparably ranking is based entirely on anonymous employee feedback spanning nearly 20 core culture metrics, giving job-seekers transparent insight into the companies possessing exceptional workplace cultures. Since launching in 2016, Comparably has accumulated 10 million ratings on 60,000 U.S. companies.
“During the extraordinary conditions of the past two years, BAL leadership has focused on what we can do to support our employees—not only their important work for our clients, but their wellness and their professional and personal aspirations,” said COO Leslie C. Rohrbacker. “We’ve intentionally added a strong framework of supports – from unlimited vacation to firm-wide downtime for development and individual pursuits, to affinity groups – and we’re thrilled these programs and benefits are having a positive impact on the lives of our employees.”
BAL has fostered a people-centered culture from its founding. The law firm’s oneBAL philosophy embraces work-sharing across nationwide offices, operating as a single profit center. This spirit of collaboration and support impacts more than BAL’s diverse team – clients benefit from shared expert knowledge across the entire firm.
“At BAL, it’s always been of upmost importance that we lead with care and compassion, while making sure that we carve out time for fun,” said Partner Frieda Garcia. “It’s very special to work at a place where we focus on building each other up instead of competing with each other, so that we enjoy working together as we make a positive difference in the world.”

DALLAS (Feb. 28, 2022) – Jeremy Fudge, Managing Partner of the award-winning immigration law firm BAL, has been named a 2022 Outstanding Director by the Dallas Business Journal. Jeremy is recognized for his excellence in governance and his role in the success, growth and development of BAL.
“I’m honored by this recognition from our leading local business publication,” Jeremy said. “I’m proud to help lead the amazing people at BAL as we continue to attract the top professionals in the industry, pave new ways of serving clients through our proprietary tech tools, and provide platinum-level service to our clients.”
Jeremy has overseen tremendous expansion of the firm, nationally and in the Dallas area. In just the past two years, the firm has hired over 600 employees, including 60% diversity hires. The firm’s Center of Excellence and national headquarters in Richardson grew by 18.5 percent in 2021, and is set to add another 100,000 square feet of space this summer. BAL has opened a new office every year for the past five years, including two during the pandemic (Denver and Austin), and the firm continues to expand into new markets.
As Managing Partner, Jeremy embodies the firm’s people-centric approach, not only in his unique management style, but also in his relentless support of industry-leading technology innovations and investment in people. These twin priorities enable BAL to offer exceptional client services to some of the largest multinational companies around the world, while attracting and retaining top legal talent at BAL, even in these challenging times.
Under Jeremy’s management and leadership, BAL has weathered the pandemic as well as the ensuing Great Resignation. Jeremy personally recruited several of the top immigration professionals in the country to BAL in 2021. The firm also added unlimited vacation as a benefit, developed a proprietary tool to measure and balance workloads, and automated document processing that liberates employees from mundane tasks—initiatives that make BAL the destination for the industry’s top talent.
“Jeremy embodies the firm’s mission to make a positive difference in people’s lives, whether he’s serving our corporate clients, their employees, or his own colleagues and every BAL employee,” said Partner Kortney Gibson, who oversees the Center of Excellence in Richardson.
Jeremy takes his coaching and pursuit of the exceptional beyond his professional role. A competitive runner and marathoner, he most recently coached 14 BAL attorneys and staff from couch to completion of the 2021 BMW Dallas Marathon.
A member of the Texas bar, Jeremy earned his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from The University of Texas School of Law and his Bachelor of Science, magna cum laude, in Journalism and Political Science from Baylor University.

DALLAS, Jan. 25, 2022 – In a momentous announcement, Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP (BAL) congratulates Founding Partner David Berry on his retirement and transition to Partner Emeritus of the firm.
For 41 years, David has been a preeminent attorney and visionary in immigration at BAL, helping to grow the firm from a two-attorney practice to an award-winning global powerhouse.
“David has been a mentor, leader, partner and friend. He’s been a role model to all who have been fortunate enough to work with him. We wish him all the best in his next chapter,” said Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge.
“We will miss David’s daily presence, but his legacy endures in the mission and values of the firm he helped build,” said Frieda Garcia, a Partner who began her career at BAL over 20 years ago.
David founded the firm in San Francisco in 1980 with fellow solo immigration attorney, Jeff Appleman. Warren Leiden joined as a name partner in 1996. Over the years, the firm flourished along with the global economy and now serves corporate clients in nearly every country in the world.
“It’s been an amazing four decades filled with so many fond memories. I’m proud to have been part of an area of law that has had – and continues to have – a profound impact on individual lives and the face of our country,” David said. He looks forward to spending more time with his family, hiking and biking in the mountains, and serving as a board member for organizations focused on healing the world.
David leaves the firm in capable hands, with Jeremy at the helm for the past nine years, backed by one of the most diverse groups of partners in the legal industry. By passing the torch to this next generation of leaders, the firm will continue to have a positive impact on millions of lives around the world: BAL represents the future of immigration, with an aggressive growth trajectory and new U.S. office openings planned, while its industry-leading proprietary technological tools continue to delight clients and attract top immigration professionals to its thriving practice.

DALLAS, Jan. 5, 2021 – BAL, the world’s leading corporate immigration firm, is pleased to announce the promotions of Josiah Curtis and Maria DeLapp to the partnership.
“Practicing corporate immigration during these unprecedented years has required passion, creativity, and fortitude, qualities both Josiah and Maria exhibit in abundance,” said Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. “They are committed to achieving results for our clients and our firm while serving as strong leaders and mentors for BAL team members.”
Josiah practices in BAL’s Boston office, where he assists clients of all sizes find creative solutions and strategies for their immigration programs. He was recognized in this year’s prestigious Chambers USA 2021 guide, where a client said of Josiah and his Boston colleagues, “I’m blown away by their expert knowledge. They are a walking Wikipedia of immigration knowledge.”
“From my first day at BAL, I’ve appreciated how unique this firm is—from the inclusive culture to the high-tech tools at our fingertips,” Josiah said. “BAL has enabled me to provide a level of client service that exceeds expectations and makes a real difference to individuals in this uncertain environment. I’m honored to take this step into leadership as BAL transforms the practice of immigration law while positively impacting lives.”

She has extensive experience helping clients manage immigration due diligence during all stages of mergers and acquisitions, and brings a unique perspective to her work, informed by her own immigration experience.
“The immigration journey is very personal to me because I immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager when my father obtained work here as a scientist,” Maria said. “I had an interesting start at BAL—launching a new office in a new market in the midst of a global pandemic. We built a great team and BAL continues to attract top talent in the industry. I’m honored to help lead a firm with a collaborative workplace culture that focuses on personalized service and a people-centered approach to immigration.”

DALLAS, Dec, 9, 2021 – Tech-forward immigration law firm Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP’s Chief Information & Technology Officer Vince DiMascio has published groundbreaking research that will be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM), this week in Auckland, New Zealand. DiMascio and his co-authors built an innovative tool that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate and improve a mundane but critical step in the immigration process.
The tool uses natural language processing to “read” a job description and determine the standard occupational classification (SOC) code that best matches the job description on employment-based immigration petitions. The tool reduces turnaround time and ensures consistency in the selection of codes, especially across volumes of petitions where more than one code fits the description.
“This research sets BAL apart in an area of AI and legal tech that no one has explored, and could revolutionize the immigration application process,” said DiMascio. “We are able to train the tool to learn new job terminology and map job descriptions to SOC codes, with the aim of improving accuracy, efficiency, quality of work and client experience.”
As a trailblazer in the legal technology space, BAL continues to push the envelope on innovations that improve the immigration process. The U.S. Labor Department categorizes jobs into 867 occupational categories, each with a unique SOC code. Searching and selecting the code can be a tedious process and any problems in code selection can lead to delays or denials in immigration processing.
In this extremely competitive labor market, compounded by immigration backlogs and ongoing travel restrictions, employers depend on accurate and efficient immigration filings to fill critical job openings. DiMascio’s technology improves the process by training predictive models to determine the best-fitting SOC code based on the employee’s job description, benefiting both foreign national employees and their employers.
The published research is DiMascio’s latest achievement, following award-winning enhancements to BAL’s proprietary case management system, Cobalt®, and the use of AI to improve data migration during client onboarding. DiMascio previously co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on combining text and image readers to categorize RFEs and automating response templates. This impressive suite of technology gives BAL’s legal teams “extra hands” to respond to unpredictable surges in immigration filings caused by rapid policy changes, and enable our clients’ employees to take advantage of every opportunity to pursue their dreams.
“BAL is leading the industry in presenting peer-reviewed papers at world-class conferences like IEEE,” said BAL Partner Edward Rios, who heads the firm’s Innovation & Strategy Group. “BAL’s tech innovations are more than just academic—they are ultimately about serving people. Combining our technical and legal expertise, we design innovative solutions that create a smoother immigration experience for clients around the world. Our relentless pursuit of next-generation technologies also makes us an employer of choice for elite immigration professionals who want to lead in the industry.”
About BAL Established in 1980, BAL powers human achievement through immigration expertise, people-centered client services and innovative technology. BAL, with 13 offices across the United States and global coverage in more than 185 countries around the world, operates as a single entity through its oneBAL culture — a uniquely holistic approach, intentionally structured as one team, one brand, one P&L, one standard of excellence and one unifying technology.

Dallas, Nov. 12, 2021 – Eight BAL attorneys are named to the elite Lawdragon® ranking of corporate employment lawyers, leading all other corporate immigration firms.
In the newly released 2022 Lawdragon rankings, which recognize only 500 of the nation’s top employment attorneys, BAL is the most cited firm for immigration, representing 12% of the 65 ranked attorneys in corporate immigration. The BAL Partners singled out by Lawdragon are: David Berry, Rob Caballero, Jeremy Fudge, Frieda Garcia, Kortney Gibson, Lynden Melmed, and Carla Tarazi. Additionally, Jeff Appleman, emeritus, is inducted into the Immigration Hall of Fame.
During the unprecedented immigration conditions of recent years, BAL has achieved extraordinary victories for clients stuck all over the world, mobilizing clients’ employees despite travel bans and visa delays, and helping some of the largest companies in the world navigate sudden work-from-home compliance issues for thousands of employees.
“Staying at the top of our game during these challenging times has required our entire team to show unprecedented effort,” says BAL Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. “I’m proud of the eight attorneys Lawdragon recognized and the 1,200 BAL employees who enable us to lead the corporate immigration field and deliver exceptional service to our clients.”
At a time when immigration challenges loomed large, on top of concerns over health, well-being and social justice, BAL’s nontraditional law firm culture has attracted the best and brightest legal talent.
“We continue to attract top talent in record numbers, despite an extraordinarily challenging job market, because we are the place to be in the immigration field,” says BAL’s Chief Operating Officer Leslie Rohrbacker. BAL leads the entire legal industry in workplace diversity, ranking as the #1 Most Diverse Law Firm in America for two years running by The American Lawyer, #1 on Law360’s Diversity Snapshot, and the #1 Law Firm for Women by the National Law Journal for the third year in a row. The firm leads the industry in both legal tech and client service, releasing a host of groundbreaking technology innovations and winning Legalweek’s Most Innovative Law Firm Operations Team of 2021.
“It has been remarkable to help lead our ever-growing teams through the immigration twists and turns of the past year,” says Partner Frieda Garcia. “While we all hope for more seamless global mobility in 2022, the pandemic forced our teams to dig deep to utilize BAL’s vast reservoirs of legal knowledge, creativity, and government insight to deliver results that other firms thought impossible. As always, these challenges brought out the best in us.”

Dallas, Nov. 4, 2021 – Industry-leading immigration law firm BAL has once again been named a top-ranking law firm in the 2022 “Best Law Firms” rankings by the prestigious U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers® annual ranking of the best law firms in the country.
BAL was honored with the highest “Tier 1” category in the 2022 national rankings in immigration law and in regional office rankings for Houston, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. The firm also received regional rankings for its Boston and Dallas offices.
“We’re excited to receive this recognition for providing exceptional service to clients in challenging immigration conditions,” said BAL Partner Frieda Garcia. “To consistently rank at the top of the field by U.S. News- Best Lawyers® is a huge honor.”
BAL continues to innovate the practice of immigration law, leading the industry in technological advances—like its proprietary case-management system, Cobalt®, and its immigration knowledge portal Advisor—that allow a seamless client experience, the ability to scale to clients’ needs and an overall superior immigration journey for their employees.
The tech-forward firm is dedicated to personalized, on-the-ground client service and has launched a nationwide expansion—opening or expanding offices in Austin, Chicago, Denver and Santa Clara, Calif. in the past two years and initiating a hiring spree that nabbed well-connected attorneys such as AILA luminary Jeff Joseph and former State Department attorney Tiffany Derentz.
“As we continue to build the best team in the business, push the envelope with technology and deliver flawless service to clients, we’re proud to blaze the path forward for immigration law,” said Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. “Even with great rankings like this, we’re not satisfied.

Dallas, Sept. 14, 2021 – Game-changing immigration firm Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP (BAL) has been honored by the Law360 Glass Ceiling Report once again for its industry-leading strides in gender equity. BAL ranked second in its size category for percentage of female attorneys and partners, and bested all other firms in its category for the percentage of female nonequity partners.
Law 360 praised BAL for “leading its peers by posting more than a 3-to-1 ratio of women to men at the nonequity partner level” and scoring a robust 11.2 points above the industry benchmark, just 0.3 points shy of the highest score. BAL remains among an elite class of only four firms in its category to meet or beat the benchmarks. Today, women make up 65% of BAL’s associates, 79% of nonequity partners, and 50% of equity partners. The ranking reinforces BAL’s leadership across the legal industry on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“Every day, we help clients from all over the world pursue better opportunities,” said BAL Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. “And we want no less for our employees—that means recruiting a diverse and talented staff and showing them they are valued as we do exceptional work together. We’re proud of this ranking, but we don’t rest on our laurels. We’re continuing to learn and grow from one another so we can make positive change in our firm and the world.”
Besides hiring many women, promoting them to positions of leadership and offering flexible work policies that enable employees to balance family responsibilities, BAL has become a thought leader in gender and diversity. Three female BAL leaders—Partners Frieda Garcia and Kortney Gibson and Senior HR Director Julie Dalton—spoke on “Women, Diversity & Inclusion: Tools to Achieve a Collaborative Workplace Culture” at the recent Society for Human Resource Management Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
“During this past year and a half, women have shouldered enormous stress and many challenges. Even in these difficult circumstances, BAL accomplished incredible things for clients all over the world,” said Garcia. “The resilience and determination of the women in our firm inspires me each day. Without the unified effort that defines our oneBAL culture, we couldn’t accomplish half as much—our diverse and inclusive environment makes us a stronger firm.”
