Adrienne was great to work with! She was prompt, knowledgeable, and super helpful. My green card application has been "pending" for multiple years and there were plans to go on a family vacation. However, it had been so long that even my extension had expired as well. My partner and I met with Adrienne for the hour consultation. She convinced me while this application was being considered applying for citizenship might be worth it, so I could vote, and additionally not have to deal with these travel logistics in the future. I had spent weeks and months trying to get a call to get an appointment and nothing was happening and I was getting extremely frustrated. It was coming down to the wire, and I required an ADIT stamp in my passport to travel. I went into the office, chatting with someone on the US Immigration website, called - all to no avail. Adrienne was able to call the office and get the name of the supervisor on duty. She called and let me know if I could go down to the immigration office that day and ask for Officer ____ (I don't remember his name), I could get a stamp and be on my way. Sure enough we went in, asked for the supervisor and he took us back. It took a total of 5 minutes, he took my expired card, put in a stamp in my passport and I was good to go. If it wasn't for Adrienne I never would have been able to go on my family vacation. She was as sincere as she was helpful. Thanks, Adrienne!

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney. Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges. After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness. I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail. After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days. True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again. The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience. Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release. The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about." Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward. Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden. When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar. Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed. If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend. Thank you for everything, Paul. Ray Ray

One of the best decisions I've made was to consult Romanovsky Law. I cannot recommend Greg and Livia highly enough for helping me with my EB2 NIW case. After two other attorneys in Boston hesitated to take on my complex case, Greg and Livia accepted it after detailed consideration. They handled everything with exceptional care, expertise, and efficiency. When I first consulted Greg, I already had an open EB2 NIW case and was facing the requirement to commit five years of work in an underserved area before my family and I could be granted permanent residency. However, I learned that USCIS allows previous experience (which I had) to count toward this five-year rule. Greg carefully reviewed the situation, and after doing his own research and consulting with his colleagues, he determined that we could proceed with this approach. That gave me a tremendous amount of hope. We worked together to collect all the necessary documents and evidence, and Greg submitted an addendum to my I-485. Our paperwork was accepted, and to my surprise and relief, my application was approved just three months later. Had Greg not taken on my case, I would have faced another four years of waiting for my green card. Receiving the green card has had such a profound impact on my family. We are now finally able to safely travel back home to visit our relatives, something that means the world to us. Thank you so much, Greg, Livia, and the entire team at Romanovsky Law. It took me a while to write this review, but I want everyone to know about our incredibly positive experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Greg Romanovsky on my highly complex immigration case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. After facing numerous challenges and failures with other lawyers, Greg and his team brought the success I had been desperately seeking after nearly a decade of expense, differing legal opinions, and administrative delays. From the very beginning, Greg demonstrated an exceptional level of proficiency. He thoroughly reviewed my case, paying meticulous attention to every detail. His expertise and knowledge of immigration law were preeminent, and it was clear that I was in good hands after detailing my extensive immigration history. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Greg was his communication. He was very prompt, patient, and detailed in his replies to any questions I had, ensuring I understood every step within the process. He addressed any concerns I had and provided the reassurance and clarification I needed during a stressful time caused by errors from other immigration lawyers. Despite the complexities and challenges of my case, Greg achieved beyond a positive outcome. The efficiency and proficiency with which he handled my case were truly remarkable. The time from the beginning to the successful resolution was much shorter than I had anticipated, a testament to Greg's skill and dedication. I had expected my case to take at least five years, but it took less than 18 months. While hiring a top-notch boutique immigration lawyer like Greg Romanovsky is an investment, it is one worth making. The expense is justified by the exceptional service and results he delivers. Greg and his team exceeded my expectations in every way and more. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and recently returned as a permanent resident from a trip abroad, feeling incredibly grateful for Greg's hard work. Don’t waste time if you are facing a challenging immigration issue; contact Greg Romanovsky ASAP. He is a brilliant lawyer, along with those in his esteemed team: Livia, Eva, and Tatiana, who brought outstanding results to my case. Thank you, Greg, for your exceptional service and for making a significant difference in my life.

Do yourself a favor and work with Rachel. I recently obtained US citizenship, and Rachel has been so helpful all along the way. Besides being a delight to work with, she is brilliant and highly knowledgeable about immigration laws and system. I was impressed to see my citizenship application filed in only two days after sending all the information and files needed for the application. One of the other benefits of working with Rachel is her expertise across different domains besides immigration law, which is very useful in making sure your application is prepared properly and that you receive the best counsel. Another impressive part was how well she prepared me for the citizenship interview. She was extremely detailed with her guidance, and everything she said would be covered was covered exactly in the order she said it would be covered. Of course, you’ll still need to do your part and prepare your documents right for her to submit in your application, study for the Civics test, etc., but working with Rachel gives true peace of mind and top-notch counsel. I was lucky that on the day of my interview, I was able to get sworn in as a citizen in the same building. Rachel walked with me to the swearing-in ceremony and even took a picture with the US flag as I became a citizen. A memory to last a lifetime. I highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel represented us in a criminal case that extended over 5 1/2 years. During this time the prosecution was disinterested in examining the facts or dropping the case that was rife with dubious and conflicting testimony. Rachel took the time to peel the layers back exposing the predisposed rush to judgement. Her skill as a lawyer and empathy as a person allowed us to dismantle the web of accusations and expose them as false. It was an especially trying case for ourselves and Rachel. We never gave up and Rachel provided logical and caring advice throughout the ordeal. There is no way we can thank her enough.

She was very professional, had taken so much time with us, and answered every question we asked. She calmed our nerves and made us feel confident that we were in good hands. And let me tell you, we were. I would have never expected such a smooth experience with immigration the way we did had it not been with Da Silva Law Group. She really cares about her clients, and only wants the best outcome for you. It’s experiences like these that will bring me back to her when we have to remove the conditions of our green card in two years! Thank you for everything!

Not one day would go by and I wasn't contacted by her or her office. At the completion of our case she continued to check to make sure with us that all was going okay. VERY PROFESSIONAL. The second occasion, was my divorce. I called her and within 2 days i was in her office starting my process. She is efficient and very through in her dealings with " the other side". I was living in another state and she made everything EASY! I was and will always count on her for her help and she is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a great lawyer to all i know.

I'm was going through a very difficult divorce and Maura's initial consultation showed me she was an excellent lawyer. After multiples lawyers and thousands of dollars spent before Maura, I was fortunate to have Maura Melcher Family Law representing me in my divorce and child custody case. Maura and her team helped me determine what was in the best interest for my son and consistently directed me in the right direction for the best possible outcome. Maura was a dedicated knowledgeable professional with a practical yet creative approach to family law negotiations. She made progress in all our challenging situations while protecting and caring for us. Maura and her team helped me stick to our plan, which in return allowed us to obtain custody of my son, I will always be grateful for the way she professionally managed to obtain the end result we were all hoping for. I’ll always refer the Melcher Family Law team to anyone who is looking for an educated, straightforward and honest family law group. Maura, I can’t thank you enough for helping me through this challenging situation. You are a Champion!! I would highly recommend Maura with any of your family law needs.

She really listened to me and worked to reach the outcome that I desired in my divorce case. Maura worked hard on my behalf and was very responsible and fair with her fees. She is the best lawyer!

Maura helped me get out of a really stressful situation in which I felt so vulnerable. I was so fearful of what could happen to me if I took action and Maura was very reassuring and straight forward with me. I am very grateful for the representation and can’t recommend Maura Melcher enough!

Leslie and Addison helped me and my wife get our GC from H1B transfer. They have always been very patient, helpful, and understanding when there is question, more importantly, I believe after the process, even I understood the process a little better. To sum up, Leslie and associates really have the knowledge and the mind to help with the legal process when it comes to immigration, especially for H1b transfer, petition, GC. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who has similar needs.

Leslie was a great lawyer over the past six years. First she helped me to get the Visa and then my Green Card. The whole process was still an effort but when I look back, Leslie and her team (mostly helped by Addison) made it as easy as possible for me! They were also always very responsive and accessible when I ran into issue.

Stefanie and her partner Annelise were my divorce lawyers and they were both fantastic. My divorce was very hostile (think false accusations of abuse) but I felt taken care of because I was in such good hands. They were attentive and responsive to my concerns, they explained everything about the process to me so I knew what to expect, and they played hardball to negotiate a settlement that was more than fair for me. Stefanie in particular was a great help in keeping me calm during the whole emotional divorce process and acting as a buoy and an anchor on court day when I needed pep talks. She knows her stuff and can back it up with results.

I would like to thank Atty. Stefanie Fisher at the Law Offices of Araujo & Fisher LLC. Thanks to Stefanie Fisher and Annelise Araujo my husband and me have the green cards/permanent residency. Stefanie and Annelise studied my case in its entire details before suggesting different options. Stefanie is very professional, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. She is very talented in understanding the client’s concerns, and she guided me through the entire green card process - extremely well organized, kept me informed, always returned my calls and emails whenever I had a question or concern, and above all she is extremely nice human being. Thank you Stefanie! I strongly recommend Stefanie Fisher to anyone seeking legal immigration advice.

Stefanie Fisher is a VERY good lawyer. I found her by chance on the internet and I must say I was not disappointed at all. She defended my sister's case with intelligence, integrity and she genuinely cared. My sister's case ended well and Stefanie Fisher was able to get deportation lifted, and is now assisting with getting permanent residency reinstated. Stefanie is very transparent and is not afraid to say, "I don't know" but she will do the research necessary to attain accurate information. She is also a no-nonsense lawyer, so she expects you to do your part; That is, I believe, a major component to the success of a case. Stefanie expects that from her clients and by doing so there is total buy in on both parties. My family and I are happy with her services, her paralegal was helpful to the case as well. My sister was not made to feel like a criminal. Instead she was treated as a human being relying on the "expertise" of another. The expertise was displayed humbly. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the judge and prosecutor positively commented on my sister's file. Stefanie's attention to detail and her ability to "dot the i and cross the t" are flawless. She left nothing out! This review is long winded, however, I want to help someone make a decision when searching for an immigration lawyer. STOP! You found her - Stefanie Fisher.

Enrica perfectly explained the options available to me for entry into the US with her recommendations. This helped me make an informed decision on which direction to go in order to pursue a career in the US. Enrica is very competitive on price and all costs were stated from the start, so no nasty extra costs appeared during the Green Card application process that I was not made aware of. Enrica is very personable and is more than happy to answer any questions. I do, and have, recommended Enrica.

As an artist, we get taken advantaged of a lot. Not so with Attorney Bogle! I hired Attorney Bogle to do my O-1 Artist Visa. I listened and did everything she told me to do, and it was successful. A couple years later, I hired her to do my EB-1 Green Card Application. Attorney Bogle told me all the reasons why it was a difficult case with my facts, but with her expertise, she built a strong case. Still, she told me to expect a RFE. Imagine my shock when the Green Card arrived without the RFE! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

My Immigration case was hard and 10 other lawyers who took my money couldn’t help me for 20 years. I was ready to go back to my home country when I found Attorney Bogle! She was honest and upfront with me from the first Consultation that I may get deported, but she would do everything to fight and get me a green card. She took the time to research my issues and give me different options with a plan. I followed her instructions and the plan. She got me the Green Card and it’s really a miracle! I don’t believe any other lawyer would’ve gotten me my green card - I tried for 20 years. Hiring Attorney Bogle was the best thing I did! You should hire her too!

Attorney Geller explained the process up front - the legal costs and the issues. He quickly gained my trust and made me feel confidant. Jacob was very responsive and got back to me quickly via phone or email (unless he was in court or tied up on a case.) His legal expertise and his ability to help me focus and remain calm while making tough decisions is one of the many reasons I feel he was an excellent choice to represent me during my divorce. He would also work to help me understand the other side's point of view and how everything would effect me and my children, now and in the years down the road. Not only was his pricing fair, but he made a conscientious effort to suggest ways to hold down costs. I recommend him highly.

I am long overdue in expressing my sincere gratitude to Attorney Duo Liu and his incredible team. Approximately 10 months ago, due to my poor health condition, I found myself in need of legal assistance, and from the very beginning, Attorney Liu and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. Despite the challenging circumstances I faced, Attorney Liu and the team were not only understanding but also provided unwavering support throughout the entire process.Their commitment to my case was evident in every interaction, making a difficult situation more manageable. What sets Attorney Liu apart is not just his legal expertise but the remarkable efficiency and effectiveness of his entire team. They are very responsive, thorough, and go the extra mile to ensure that their clients are well-informed. And they dedicated to successfully deliver my case even in a very tight timeline. Which certainly helped me out in such a difficult situation and I highly appreciate. I should have shared this review much earlier, and I regret not doing so. Even during a year where my health took precedence, Attorney Liu remained a pillar of support, handling my legal matters with the same dedication and efficiency that I experienced from day one. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Liu to anyone in need of legal services. My gratitude knows no bounds, and I am fortunate to have had such an exceptional team by my side. Thank you so much, Attorney Liu and the team, for your outstanding work and unwavering support.

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.
