I can’t thank Volkan Anik and his team enough! From start to finish, they handled my Green Card process with incredible professionalism and attention to detail. Every document was prepared flawlessly, and I was kept informed at every stage. Volkan was not just an excellent attorney but also a true mentor throughout the process. He answered all my questions with patience, promptly responded to my emails, and was always available when I called. Thanks to his expertise, my case was approved in an unbelievably short time without any RFE (Request for Evidence) or an interview. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, meticulous, and supportive immigration lawyer, Volkan Anik is the best choice! I am truly grateful for his outstanding service.

Vladislav Sirota is one of the most professional and brilliant solicitors I have worked with. Because my immigration case is a bit complicated, I have worked with several solicitors from different firms, Vladislav is the most smart, pragmatic, and efficient one. I learned a lot from him, including but not limited to "Pragmatism over Juicitice", "Never pursue litigation out of principle", etc. He replies quickly, sometimes even during his Out-of-office hours, and never ignores any of my questions. He is very honest as well, which is extremely helpful while under high pressure and tight timelines. I highly recommend Vladislav if you have to deal with immigration cases.

Estaba huyendo de la violencia de las pandillas, y el abogado Phillips no solo era increíblemente conocedor y experimentado en derecho de inmigración, sino también compasivo y comprensivo con mis circunstancias únicas. Durante todo el proceso, el abogado Phillips siempre estuvo disponible para responder mis preguntas y brindar orientación. Fueron pacientes y empáticos, tomándose el tiempo para escuchar mi historia y comprender las complejidades de mi caso. Me sentí realmente apoyado y cuidado, lo que hizo que el difícil proceso de buscar asilo fuera mucho más fácil de manejar. Estoy agradecido por el arduo trabajo y la dedicación que el abogado Phillips puso en mi caso. Su experiencia y compasión hicieron toda la diferencia, y lo recomendaría encarecidamente a cualquier persona que busque ayuda con un caso de inmigración.

I am glad to share my positive experience with my immigration lawyer Elena Denevich. She not only took on my complex case, but also achieved great results in a short time. Now I have a work permit and ssn and I have the necessary documents that affect my immigration path. I strongly recommend the services of lawyer Elena Denevich to everyone who is starting their journey of legalization in this country. I repeat, I had a complex case and many of the lawyers with whom I consulted (there were more than 10 of them) refused to take on my case and all the deadlines were already missed due to the fault of the unscrupulous “lawyer”. I was completely confused and accidentally found out about Elena Denevich. How glad I am that I trusted this lawyer when I came for a consultation and did not make a mistake in my choice. Thank you very much to Elena Denevich, her team and two assistants and Elena for everything! She is a true professional in her field. They were so friendly and patient with me, with my numerous questions and calls on every issue. I express my deep gratitude!

Mr Healy and his associates took my case very seriously, I have been told, what my chances are and what to expect! He helped me to resolve the most complicated immigration case that several other lawyers tried to resolve. My citizenship was declined several times by USCIS. Mr Healy makes things move in a year and I’m a citizen now after 14 years. He is a true expert in complex cases, not even mentioning regular cases. You will be in great hands with Mr Healy ; you can rely on him with confidence. Trust his strategy and direction and do exactly what he recommends if you want results. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me sir.

My wife and I hired Gary after my I-485 process (adjusting from K-1 Fiancé to Permanent Resident) was denied by USCIS (owing to an error that USCIS made on my file) where they deemed I had abandoned the Adjustment of Status process. This decision created chaos for me and my wife, and it came as a complete shock (seeing as we had fully complied with all USCIS protocols to date). Before consulting with Gary, it appeared that our options to fix the situation were extremely limited and there was a chance that we might have to restart the entire immigration process again. Needless to say, my wife and I were completely demoralized at the prospect of incurring the the enormous cost and inconvenience of this option. However, upon our first consultation with Gary, he immediately put us at ease and provided alternative solutions to the problem. He explained to us that, in his extensive and lengthy experience, he had encountered similar situations and he was very confident that he could remedy the situation expeditiously, and without incurring enormous cost. Anyone going through the immigration process will know that the rules and deadlines are always changing, making it extremely difficult to know what the exact rules/deadlines are at any given moment. It became clear to us during our engagement with Gary that he was an expert in this area, and he got to work immediately to fix the situation. He was always aware of the rule changes, deadlines, and updates to the law. Gary stayed in regular contact with us, constantly updating us on the status of the various applications made and all contact with USCIS. Gary was able to resolve the matter within a matter of weeks (when my wife and I were expecting many months, if not a year, for some sort of sensible resolution). In early April we feared the worst, 6 weeks later (as a result of Gary's work) USCIS reopened our case, and yesterday, my wife and I attended my Adjustment of Status interview. In the interview, the immigration officer explicitly referring to Gary's petitions to USCIS on my behalf as being enormously persuasive in explaining our predicament, approved my Adjustment of Status application and granted me Permanent Residency . We are absolutely thrilled with the result. Not alone was Gary able to get our case reopened within 6 weeks, but he also managed to convince USCIS that our case needed to be dealt with immediately. As a result, I am now a permanent resident 11 weeks after engaging Gary's services. I cannot recommend Gary highly enough!

Having used a number of other reputable immigration lawyers within the DC area with little success, Mr Healy was able to take on my case and ensure a successful result first time round, no questions asked. Providing a comprehensive and full proof application and meeting the strict criteria for for an alien with extra ordinary ability in the arts, sciences etc (o1b), Gary and his team provided consultation and support leading into the application around the clock. He explained each part of the process while also providing me with reassurance along the way at what can be a difficult and stressful time. Mr Healys diligent, thorough and no nonsense approach as well as his unique experience and expertise produces results. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking at the United States as the next stage of their career.

I came to the office for a consultation after going to other offices for consultations. She was the only attorney who told me to sit tight and not do anything right now because of several issues that I had. Everyone else just wanted to take my money. Alice explained all options to me, gave me prognosis for all options but said she recommends me to wait. I did and I am waiting, but if my situation ever does change, she is the only attorney I will ever go to. Honest, thorough and to the point.

My grandmother and I first met with Alice Antonovsky in Febraury 2014. By July 2014, my grandmother's asylum application was recommended for approval. By May 2015, her application was approved. By Alice's own admission, this should have been a very difficult case to work with, as my grandmother was in the country for many years and only applied for asylum recently. But in Alice's hands, it all worked out. Alice Antonovsky is warm, very professional, but most of all, knows her craft and it shows in her results. Alice is easy to work with, follows up on every meaningful detail, explains everything very clearly, and answers all questions, no matter how long you keep her there. She even drove us to get the results from the interview, waited with us, and celebrated with us! You are not doing yourself any favors by reading any more reviews; this lawyer is the one.

I was filled with trust in Aziz Juraev and confidence in his professionalism from the very first consultation with him. This was the first lawyer, at the very first conversation with whom, I had a feeling of confidence in the outcome of the trial. And this despite the fact that he did not promise mountains of gold and did not persuade him to become his client. From the moment the contract was concluded until the judge made a decision, I never doubted my choice. Throughout my journey, Aziz and his team guided me in the best possible way. All documents were submitted on time. During consultations with Aziz and Alexander, I was able to imagine how the court hearing was going and how to behave at it, and I was able to believe that my case was not without hope for success. They instilled in me faith in the American justice system, which can accept even words without indisputable documentary evidence as an argument. All this is possible due to the fact that judges are people too and believe in humanity. At the trial itself, Aziz behaved like a true professional. I am very glad that I made the right choice by choosing Aziz Juraev as my lawyer. I am sincerely grateful to Aziz and his entire team.

Words can't describe how happy I am that I used Mr. Perskin. I was in a pretty gnarly situation (to say the least) and from the moment we met, he showed immense confidence, listened to me, and fought super SUPER hard for me. It was a relief and gave me so much satisfaction to see how much he got my back (which i didn't have previously). His communication was A+ and in the end I was able to avoid a trial because of him. He kept me honest, managed my expectations, and also i really loved working with his son Jared, that dude is GOING PLACES! I will recommend Brian to everyone and also has an awesome book! thank you thank you!!

I went to Alfred Polizzotto Esq. for an estate matter involving litigation, 2 complex real estate transactions which involved a lot of money numbers that changed as bills were paid out on the real estate. The first day I went in to his office I felt comforted that the complex issues could be resolved with his calmness in handling and creating excel spread sheets to organize the 2 real estate transactions, private mortgage money, and bank accounts. He was extremely organized, great with computers, awesome in math, and extremely knowledgeable with the laws on all matters. He gave me a list of what documents to bring him. I had to Order 15 years of bank statements and checks. Once I gave him the copies. He put it all on to excel spread sheets. Then he called the estate attorney and told the attorney his demands for me. In the end everything Mr. Polizzotto asked for I received from the estate. Not one item did I lose because he knew how to litigate and apply real estate law and estate law to the facts at hand. I would not use any one else for law matters. He also worked Professionally with the opposing lawyer and the uncooperative executor. He’s a family oriented lawyer and treats such matters with delicacy and respect.

1. My wife and I are both over eighty. During the pandemic, instead of having us go to his office in Brooklyn, Mr. Polizzotto met with us close to our home on Long Island to discuss our case. 2. Mr. Polizzotto and his staff (Liz) always returned our email within twenty-four hours. 3. After we gathered all our original documents, we were not sure if we should mail to his office or hand deliver it. Mr. Polizzotto personally picked it up from our home, after a whole day's work and rush hour traffic in the dark! 4. When a clerical error was discovered in our application, Mr. Polizzotto redid the entire package himself! 5. Mr. Polizzotto always answered our questions with patience, clarity, reassurance, and in layman's terms so we could understand. 6. Mr. Polizzotto submitted our case on March 1st. It was approved by May 1st. Highly efficient! 7. It's been an unforgettable experience working with Mr. Polizzotto! He is truly a superior professional!

I hired Mr. Polizotto for assistance with elder law planning. It was clear that Mr. Polizzotto was intimately familiar with the nuances of this area of law. He knows how to structure a plan to ensure that the many interests of the client are well represented. He created a plan that included a trust to conserve assets and maximize tax advantages, aid in Medicaid qualification, and ensure favorable transfer of estate assets. Mr. Polizotto did not need to check the law when I had a question; he knew the law. I also hired Mr. Polizotto to assist with Medicaid hearings where the government was seeking to reduce benefits to a family member. We won the decision. In addition, I hired Mr. Polizotto in connection with the sale of a property. His real estate office is a well-oiled, efficient, professional machine. I highly recommend this seasoned lawyer.

I was planning my vacations in Europe, when i realized that my daughter's passport expired. Her father was not available to sign consent or for any other contact and the only way to go for me was to file for sole custody. We live in NY, so courts are extremely busy, and it seemed at some point that nothing could be done to speed the process up. Ms. Feldman demonstrated resourcefulness and great knowledge of the system, which resulted in favorable outcomes in less than two months after petition was filed.

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.
