My family has struggled for years with finding a trustworthy immigration attorney. It was truly a breath of fresh air seeing how relaxed my parents were when meeting Ms. Fuentes. They could openly ask any questions and understand all the information that was given. I can sincerely say that this firmis absolutely incredible! Ana Fuentes and Lorena are very patient, informative and overall just great people. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of an immigration attorney and whose primary language is Spanish.

I’m so grateful to Kim Law for guiding me through such a tough time after my car accident. From the very beginning, they were patient, supportive, and truly cared about my well-being. They kept me updated every step of the way, explained everything in a way I could understand, and always checked in to see how I was doing—not just about the case, but personally too. What really stood out was how they made the process so much smoother by connecting me with their network of doctors. This allowed me to focus on my recovery instead of stressing over the complicated insurance and claims process. Their dedication, compassion, and expertise turned a dark time into a manageable one, and I’ll always be thankful for their help. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely has your back, I highly recommend Kim Law!

I was referred to Keren by several friends who spoke highly of her expertise, and after working with her and her team, I can confidently say they exceeded all my expectations. I was on a temporary J1 visa and needed to transition to an R1 visa within a very short time frame. Keren and her office worked tirelessly and with great attention to detail, ensuring that all necessary documents were prepared promptly. Throughout the process, both Keren and her staff were consistently responsive and accessible, addressing all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I truly felt supported and taken care of every step of the way. Thanks to their dedication and professionalism, we were able to submit my visa application and receive approval in record time. I am incredibly grateful to Keren and her team for going above and beyond to make this process seamless and successful.

I highly recommend Weinstock Immigration Lawyers. They took on my complex case, gave me a clear plan and achieved what we set out and then some! We were poorly advised at the start and in dire need of a solution. Karen made the whole process simple, and we got the results we needed. No case is too small, and they have no issue guiding you every step of the way. Even though I felt like I was asking way too many questions.! My only regret was not hiring Weinstock from the start. I would recommend Karen and her firm to anyone needing a team of professionals who get the job done! Cannot thank you all enough.

We had to hire counsel to pursue correction of numerous USERRA errors with husband’s federal retirement, but finding a lawyer who was willing to work hourly against the federal government was not easy! Pines was the only agency with the willingness and immediate availability to work with us. The attorney assigned (M. Kleinman) has been knowledgeable, accessible, and PATIENT. We buried him under a mountain of documents and regulations, but he was very skillful at knowing which pieces were most relevant to the case, keeping us focused on the big picture. Very grateful, and highly recommend!

I got a pretty bad speeding ticket because I was late going to my pregnant wife’s appointment to meet the specialist because she had a high risk pregnancy. The ticket I received was also a super speeder. My job requires that I have a clean record. I hired Kevin and he was able to help me get a great outcome. No points, no reporting to my MVR, this helps SO much because I work and drive a company vehicle for an insurance company. Kevin made the process very easy and seamless. Out of FOUR lawyers that I contacted, Kevin was the only one who was responsive, he was up front about his pricing and steps that I would need to take going forward. Most lawyers are lazy but not Kevin. I would hire Kevin again if ever needed his services! Thanks for the hard work Kevin!

She also takes it to heart to make sure she answers her client's questions thoroughly and that they understand her answers and the documents they are signing. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for estate planning.

I cannot say that this attorney has done what was promised. Every document needed for my case I provided and organized for him, all he did was stamp with his signature and took payment. I waited 10 years to bring back my husband back to the US and be reunited with me even though he promised he would stand by me until he is here. Instead, after just about 2 or 3 years he gave up on my case and never answered my calls. I read all these reviews about people with misdemeanors, etc. ..yet my husband never had a conviction and still he couldn't have helped me to bring him back before the 10 years. I only remember being left alone and abandoned during this hardship.

I called Buckhead law after my accident being rammed in the rear with my baby girl in the backseat. Buckhead Law took my case immediately and got me the maximum Settlement in a short amount of time! Not only did Buckhead Law gain the maximum settlement for myself but also attained the maximum for my daughter on a different settlement. I would definitely return to Buckhead law to handle my legal case should this ever happen to me again and I would also refer Buckhead Law to all of my friends and family should they ever experience this situation. Buckhead Law even gave me the option to pick up my settlement check and when I did they verbally thanked me to show their appreciation of my business which really sealed the deal for me because appreciation goes far. Buckhead law was able to get me the maximum settlement in my pocket when I needed it most, Buckhead Law saved my life! Thank you, Buckhead Law sincerely from me and my daughter, You guys are the best!

I called Buckhead law after my accident being rammed in the rear with my baby girl in the backseat. Buckhead Law took my case immediately and got me the maximum Settlement in a short amount of time! Not only did Buckhead Law gain the maximum settlement for myself but also attained the maximum for my daughter on a different settlement. I would definitely return to Buckhead law to handle my legal case should this ever happen to me again and I would also refer Buckhead Law to all of my friends and family should they ever experience this situation. Buckhead Law even gave me the option to pick up my settlement check and when I did they verbally thanked me to show their appreciation of my business which really sealed the deal for me because appreciation goes far. Buckhead law was able to get me the maximum settlement in my pocket when I needed it most, Buckhead Law saved my life! Thank you, Buckhead Law sincerely from me and my daughter, You guys are the best!

My wife’s immigration was stuck for years and doing my research I found the best way to fix this was to file a writ of mandamus. however, few lawyers were willing to take it up. I contacted one lawyer who I had to pay $150 for consultation but that went nowhere. He first said that he would do it and then he decided to back out. I then reached out to an attorney that my aunt recommended in Florida, but he said he couldn’t help me as I was a Georgia resident, but he would recommend me a few lawyers in Georgia. I contacted the people he recommended and one of them led me to Hiba and I am very glad that she did. Hiba‘s price was very reasonable. She was a very caring attorney checking in on me to see how I was doing and how my wife was doing. Finally she was a very competent lawyer and did what we asked. She filed the writ and even fought my case against the government government when they decided to be difficult. Thanks to her efforts my wife was finally able to join me after many painful years. My advice is do not look at any other lawyers, Choose Hiba right away you will not be sorry.

I flew in from California to meet with Mr. Elkhalil on Tuesday morning, the following Monday I had a check of $1,205,000.00 in my hands. Mr. Elkhalil settled my issues in less than 5 working days. My family and I greatly appreciate Mr. Elkhalil's wonderful services. Without a pause, I would recommend Mr. Elkhalil and his firm to anyone in US and beyond. Howard Anderson

Ken is a lifesaver and he's the best attorney! I've had a very complicated immigration case that has carried on for many years. Prior to Ken, I had met with five highly recommended attorneys but they weren't capable of taking my case and didn't believe there was anything at all they could do. They encouraged me to give up and told me no one would be able to help me. Ken was completely different and had no qualms about my case, and assured me that it would work out. I was not disappointed, he put in a lot of work and care into my case. I received my green card in less than 6 months. I would recommend Ken to anyone, no matter what level of obstacles their situation contains.

Jean is an excellent lawyer. I have used her firm for my successful EB1A application and also for obtaining 2 H1s(with Audra) at my startup. In all my engagements I have received sound legal advice and best results. Most prominent firms do not take non-phd EB1A cases but Jean not only took my case but she helped win it in the field for business. Unlike other firms that I consulted, I found that Jean really believed in my eb1a case and she worked hard for months to make it a winnable case. She put her years of experience with other similar cases to strengthen my case. Her deep understanding of the EB1A process and criteria was very apparent when she submitted a strong response to an RFE in my case. I highly recommend Jean and Audra for EB1A and H1 cases.

I knew Jean when I was doing pizza delivery. She and her staff is so welcoming and generous which gave me the trust to hire her for my citizenship. With her help, I got my citizenship. I later come back again for her to file for my son oversea within a year my son came. Because of her dedication and caring for her client which I know, I came again when I met my current beautiful wife to file for her green and today she become a proud citizen like me. Base on my experience with Jean, honestly I will recommend her to represent any one with any form of immigration issue. She knows what is doing.

After working with many law firms in multiple industries in the past, we’re very thrilled to say that working with Asheesh and Liliana at Sharma Law Offices has been one of the best - if not THE BEST - legal experience we’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving. Asheesh has been the only immigration attorney (yes, we actually had to fire one years before) who has given us not just enough time to talk things through and understand our personal circumstances, but also gave all his attention and care while advising us as to how to proceed forward with the process. We went ahead and began the process with Sharma Law Offices to obtain my IR1 Visa. In the summer of 2016, my husband and my father-in-law rendezvoused in the area with a goal in mind of seeking out the best immigration firm we could find. We decided that we would do “walk ins” to see how we were received by doing so without any appointment. After being turned away at some agencies, passed around at other office, finally we came upon Sharma Law Offices. We walked in during normal business hours, and were very pleased at how well we were received. We were asked to sit in the conference area while we awaited Asheesh, the attorney. He joined us, and we have a pleasant thirty minute or so conversation about our situation and some questions that we had that were intended to help us feel more comfortable with the process. As expected, the process does take some time, and is inevitably quite complex. All of us involved knew well beforehand the level of stress that may occur throughout this process. Just as many families going through similar immigrant applications, we constantly had a lot of questions and concerns; things we wanted cleared up in our own minds to better rest at night. Whether we emailed or called, we were never left waiting or wondering as to what was going on and why it was going on. We always receive prompt and concise answers. I’d imagine based on our own experiences in this process, that this would be very important to people - as lack of communication can be a huge point of stress. This simply wasn’t a worry when working with Asheesh and Liliana. Our process continued from beginning to end almost verbatim as Asheesh said it would. There were some unknown unknowns that popped up along the way, but were quickly dealt with and the process continued virtually seamlessly all the way to completion. We were within our projected completion time within a few weeks - exactly as we though from the onset. All in all, we’d highly recommend this firm to anyone needing immigration services, as we’re first-hand proof of highly satisfied and thankful customers.

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.
  • Special immigration categories: Immigration lawyers also handle complex cases, such as visas for victims of human trafficking (T visa), crime victims (U visa), or those seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

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

What Does an Immigration Lawyer Do?

An immigration lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients with their immigration needs, whether personal or business-related. Their tasks often include:

  • Assisting with visa applications: Helping clients fill out and submit visa applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
  • Filing for green cards and permanent residency: Guiding clients through the process of applying for a green card, including family-based, employment-based, or other forms of residency.
  • Defending against deportation or removal: Representing clients in immigration court who are facing deportation and working to prevent removal from the U.S.
  • Preparing asylum cases: Assisting clients in applying for asylum based on fear of persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
  • Handling citizenship applications: Helping lawful permanent residents apply for naturalization and ensuring they meet all the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship.
  • Employment-based immigration: Assisting employers with the process of sponsoring foreign workers for temporary or permanent visas, including H-1B, L-1, and EB-1 through EB-5 visas.
  • Representation in immigration interviews: Preparing clients for immigration interviews and attending interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices.
  • Appealing denied applications: If a visa, green card, or citizenship application is denied, a lawyer can file appeals or motions to reopen or reconsider the case.

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.

How Much Does an Immigration Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer varies based on the type of legal service required, the lawyer's experience, and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:

  • Visa applications: For help with visa applications (e.g., H-1B, L-1, F-1), legal fees may range from $2,000 to $7,500, depending on the complexity and the type of visa.
  • Green card applications: Fees for family-based or employment-based green card applications typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the case.
  • Deportation defense: For defending clients in removal proceedings, costs can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and how long the case takes.
  • Asylum cases: Asylum applications may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on whether the case is defensive (in removal proceedings) or affirmative (not in removal proceedings).
  • Citizenship applications: Legal fees for filing a naturalization application usually range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s immigration history.
  • Business immigration services: Fees for assisting businesses with employment-based visas (such as H-1B or EB-5 visas) often range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs and fee arrangements before proceeding with legal services.

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.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with an immigration lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Passport and immigration documents: Bring your passport, visa, and any documents related to your current immigration status.
  • Family documents: If you're applying for a family-based visa or green card, bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of family relationships.
  • Employment information: For employment-based visas, provide your employment contract, offer letter, or other documentation of your job.
  • Criminal records (if applicable): If you have any criminal history, bring copies of court records and other relevant documents.
  • Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any prior immigration applications, visas, or issues with immigration authorities.
  • List of questions: Prepare any questions you have about your immigration case, the process, costs, and the likelihood of success.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
