About our practice After graduating from the University of Malta with a Doctor of Laws degree and attaining her Notarial Warrant, Dr. Mizzi and her husband moved to the United States ​to experience working life abroad. ​ While living in the United States, Dr. Mizzi was employed at two major New York City law firms, Wormser, Kiely, Galef & Jacobs LLP and Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP, where she specialized in the field of U.S. citizenship and immigration law and practiced for over six years. She managed a variety of nonimmigrant visa cases, family-based immigrant visa petitions, employment-based immigrant visa petitions for extraordinary ability individuals, multinational executives and managers, outstanding researchers, professionals and skilled workers. In the course of her practice, she dealt with individual and corporate clients from several sectors of the industry such as law firms, the entertainment community, foreign investors, fashion designers, the restaurant industry, and businesses in the financial, media and journalism, recreation, consumer products, publishing and manufacturing industries. ​ With the birth of her first son, Dr. Mizzi decided that family life was more suited to the quite lifestyle of Gozo, rather than the busy days in New York City. Upon her return to Gozo, Dr. Mizzi started her practice in Victoria in 2008. With the help of her husband, she quickly turned the office into an efficient and professional destination for people seeking her services. ​ As the practice grew, we've added new staff to take on the workload and the challenges presented by our clients. ​ We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.
