Kimberley Best Robidoux

While attending the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, the Federal government was beginning to address drug testing issues in the workplace.  Robidoux was fascinated with the subject area and went on to focus on workplace drug testing laws as a research analyst at a non-profit in Washington, D.C.  The desire to focus more on the implementation aspect of such laws led Robidoux to join a law firm as a paralegal where she assisted not only with employment law matters but also prepared many immigration cases for the transfer of hospitality industry employees around the globe. Her enjoyment of the nuances of the immigration process and working with individuals from all over the world led her to spend more of her time on immigration law following law school.  As an attorney practicing in this area for 25 years, she continues to enjoy the challenge of keeping up with the ever-changing immigration laws and policies in order to better assist her clients, both corporate and individual.  

Robidoux thrives on working with companies and individuals to strategically develop solutions to address their immigration concerns.  Her practice also focuses on assisting companies with their onboarding and retention of the best and the brightest from around the world, as well as with the implementation of immigration policies and procedures. Her experience with the nuances of employer I-9 and E-verify requirements has resulted in the successful defense of employers against I-9 compliance audits.  Robidoux also enjoys partnering with employers to conduct “in-house” audits with respect to worksite compliance matters – it is always extremely important to keep employers out of trouble or prepare them for a government audit. Robidoux also thoroughly enjoys working with individuals to guide them through the family-based immigration process and finds it extremely rewarding and gratifying when clients become permanent residents and U.S. citizens.
