ELIE D. AL-CHAER

Founding Attorney & Counselor

Elie Al-Chaer was born on April 27, 1968 in Beirut, Lebanon. He grew up in Beirut, speaking English, French and Arabic, and earned his Bachelor of Science Degree (Mathematics, 1988) and his Master of Science Degree (Physiology, 1991) at the American University of Beirut. He came to the USA in 1992, and attended graduate school as an F-1 Visa student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he earned his Ph.D. (Neuroscience, 1996). Following his graduation he qualified for a National Interest Waiver as an outstanding Scholar with Extraordinary Ability and became a Permanent Resident (1998). 

As an immigrant exposed to some high profile legal cases in the 1990s, he became fascinated with the law and attended law school as a permanent resident (Green Card) at South Texas College of Law in Houston and received his J.D. in 2002. In that same year he passed the Texas bar examination and was sworn as an Attorney and Counselor at Law before the Supreme Court of Texas on November 6, 2002. His primary practice areas initially focused on professional and business immigration. He has also worked professionally as a mediator and a consultant on business planning, home health law, international law and immigration. With time, the practice expanded to include family law, professional and academic grievances, civil litigation, and over the past few years decentralized finance and blockchain cryptocurrency.

Elie Al-Chaer is a member of the American Bar Association (ABA); he is admitted to practice in the State of Texas (2002) and the District of Columbia (Washington DC; 2006). He has appeared as a guest speaker at professional meetings in the United States and throughout the world. His dedication to serving the legal needs of his clients, as well as his polymath approach to issues, assures his clients will always receive the best comprehensive and reliable legal service.
