I called this attorney's office, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The lady who answered was unwilling to listen to me as a potential client and came across as somewhat rude. I mentioned that I had forgotten the name of the agent I spoke with the day before, but instead of assisting, the response was dismissive. This kind of treatment is a sure way to lose clients. I do not recommend this office.

Mr. Bell was so greatly appreciated for his work that he did for my husband & I. He was very prompt in completing the job in hand and when it came time to sign papers, he made himself available for our convenience. When we did meet, Mr. Bell was very explanatory in what he had done for us and it was in simple laymen's terms and not a lot of complicated legal jargon. We will most definitely call upon him again when and if the need for legal help is required.

As the President of a small healthcare business, I selected The Law Office of John Charles Bell, L.L.C., as my law firm. I have known Mr. Bell since 1992. At that time, and until 2013, Mr. Bell served at the United States Attorney’s Office where he had a distinguished career for over 21 years. When he retired from the United States Attorney’s Office, he started his own law firm. On the basis of my own professional contact with Mr. Bell, he has provided excellent legal counsel for me on a number of complex and diverse legal matters. He utilizes hard work and creative problem solving to attain justice for his client. Mr. Bell has both the intellectual and the personal skills that makes him an exceptional lawyer. However, if need be, he is not averse to associating another lawyer or another firm to obtain the desired result. He brings with him a long and impressive record of achievement in civic and voluntary activities. He is committed to social change and the representation of disregarded people. If you select Mr. Bell and his firm as your legal representative, you not only will have hired an attorney that has a high level of intelligence, practicability, and integrity, but you will have hired an attorney who cares about your well being.

I would like to take the time to thank Attorney Dwayne Brown for the wonderful service he provided to me! I was involved in a car accident. While I was in search of an Attorney to take my case, I consulted with several people including some of my relatives that were previously in a similar situation regarding the process. I was informed by several people that regardless of which Attorney I proceed with, the Attorneys would not be able to recover much compensation for me. I was discouraged at this point, because I felt I deserved as much compensation as possible due to my injuries. I took to the internet and started my google search and I came across several profiles for Attorneys. For some reason, Attorney Dwayne Brown's profile stood out to me. I made the decision to call his office and I am so happy I did. Attorney Brown really really came through for me. I am very satisfied with his service, professionalism, and my settlement as well! He went above the call of duty and got me the compensation I deserve! Thank you Attorney Brown! If you are searching for an Attorney that will have your best interest in mind, I encourage you to pick up the phone and give him a call asap. I definitely believe 100% that you will not be disappointed! Thanks Again Attorney Brown! Ms. Carter

As someone who has been in several legal situations which was the focus of my appeal, the most important thing any attorney can do for their client is advocate in a way that is applicable to your situation and the law. These types of cases require risk mitigation experts such as Ron Syskstus. Ron took all my emails (there were plenty) at any hour of the day or night to make sure he was always informed and could advocate for me appropriately. Working with Ron over the last year and half while we waited for the appeal hearing he and I maintained a great relationship that felt more like a family member rather than just someone on my case. Ron is extremely personable and empathic to his clients when life happens, and boy does it happen. At my hearing I quickly realized that Ron is well respected in the legal community regarding clearance retention actions. It is much better to have a qualified and respected captain at the helm who is familiar with the waters you are in, rather than go alone and sight unseen; -for me Ron was that captain. We had an abundance of evidence in support of my position, (over 50 exhibits) Ron and his team beautifully put it all together to tell my side of the story, but also in a way that was understandable for the judge. These situations are serious, and they are life altering in many respects, they can damage your reputation, your relationship with your children, and beyond. Ron knows how important these matters are and takes them very seriously to meet his client's needs. Sincerest thanks to Mr. Syskstus and his team I am forever grateful for the work they have done in my support.

Mr. Sykstus was found by searching for a local attorney that specialized in my type of case. Not having a clearance means having to restart my career. I have been in the defense engineering industry for over twenty-five years. I am glad I found Mr. Sykstus. He is professional, intelligent and understanding. His background as a Judge Advocate General Officer has proven invaluable in understanding the complex process that is the legal system. He authored an excellent book on clearance adjudication. It really helped put my mind at ease. He guided me through the legal process and kept in contact with any updates. Mr. Sykstus was diligent and advocated for me the entire time, as a lawyer should. We are still waiting for the final adjudication, but I am thankful to have had such a professional on my side.

Ron is an expert in the security clearance space. In 2017, I ran into some challenges related to reinstating my Secret security clearance. My husband and I met with Ron and ultimately hired him to represent me at a clearance hearing. Ron helped us in gathering documentation and preparing for the hearing. He was able to resolve the investigator's concerns prior to the hearing. My clearance being reinstated was critical to my career working for a large DoD contractor. Fast forward to 2022/23 and I had taken on a new role that now required special program access and an upgrade to Top Secret. I immediately reached out to Ron to help me with my SF86 to ensure I filled everything out correctly and appropriately explained the prior concerns/challenges raised during the 2017 investigation. Ron again was very helpful, responded quickly, and his expertise was invaluable. Both my SAP and TS have come through and I owe huge thanks to Ron for helping me navigate the process and successfully obtain my clearance.

Although I am tired of going through the motions with a parent that is committed to not paying, Attorney Long has encouraged me not to give up! I feel that with the information that's been povided it's given me more insight as well as a will to keep persuing this unlikely situation.

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You

An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process. These lawyers provide legal guidance on various immigration matters, such as obtaining visas, gaining permanent residency (green cards), applying for citizenship, and defending clients in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration lawyers also assist with employment-based immigration, asylum applications, and resolving issues related to visas or immigration status.

Whether you're trying to immigrate to the U.S., facing deportation, or sponsoring an employee or family member for a visa, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your legal options and navigate the often complicated legal system.

When Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?

Hiring an immigration lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you are dealing with U.S. immigration laws, whether for personal or business reasons. Common reasons to hire an immigration lawyer include:

  • Visa applications: If you need assistance applying for a visa, whether it's a work visa (H-1B), student visa (F-1), or tourist visa (B-1/B-2), a lawyer can help ensure the application is properly completed and submitted.
  • Green card applications: If you're seeking permanent residency, an immigration lawyer can guide you through the process, whether through family sponsorship, employment, or the Diversity Visa (lottery) program.
  • Deportation or removal defense: If you’re facing deportation or removal from the U.S., a lawyer can defend your case in immigration court and seek to prevent removal.
  • Asylum applications: If you’re seeking asylum due to persecution or fear of persecution in your home country, a lawyer can help you prepare a strong case and file for asylum.
  • Family reunification: If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident looking to bring family members to the U.S., a lawyer can assist with the family sponsorship process.
  • Citizenship and naturalization: If you're ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, a lawyer can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure you meet all the requirements.
  • Business immigration: If you're an employer seeking to hire foreign workers, a lawyer can assist with employment-based visas, labor certification, and compliance with immigration regulations.

Hiring an immigration lawyer early in the process can help you avoid delays, errors, and possible denials due to incomplete or incorrect applications.

How Are Immigration Lawyers Paid?

Immigration lawyers generally charge for their services based on the type of immigration case and the complexity of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many immigration lawyers charge a flat fee for specific services, such as preparing a visa application, green card petition, or citizenship application. Flat fees help clients know upfront what the legal costs will be for a particular service.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as deportation defense or appeals, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Retainer: For ongoing immigration matters, some clients may need to pay a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
  • Pro bono or sliding scale: Some immigration lawyers or nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in asylum or humanitarian cases.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.

Top Questions to Ask an Immigration Lawyer

Before hiring an immigration lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Important questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with immigration cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s family-based immigration, employment visas, or asylum.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including any challenges you might face.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Immigration cases can take time, so ask how long it may take to process your application or resolve your legal issue.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly.
  6. What documents do I need to provide?
    Ask the lawyer about the documentation required to support your case, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or employment contracts.

How to Check the Credibility of an Immigration Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable immigration lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their state bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for specific immigration law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in immigration law and have experience handling cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle immigration cases.
  • Check for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) can indicate the lawyer’s expertise and commitment to immigration law.
