I hired Mr. Arslan to be my attorney and for his presence for my interview for Asylum at uscis. I have to say he definitely knows what he is doing. He was very helpful from the beginning. And even after the interview he was in touch with me regarding how the case could go in either directions and what he could offer as an attorney for his services. I must say if anyone wants to spend money on an attorney and get the best out of them, then I highly recommend Mr. Arslan. He is not just amazing but helpful and very considerate.

I was referred to Arslan by a family friend, and it was honestly the best choice my husband and I made. Arslan provided us the ease to go through our immigration process without worrying on what steps we needed to take next. We consulted his services when my husband and I married, we did a marriage green card for my husband, he was here on DACA but we wanted a more permanent status for him. Arslan broke the process down from our initial phone interview and made it so easy for us. The time frame that Arslan provided was the exact when it came to the process and interview, he is very experienced and answered all the questions we had. Without him, we would have been running around our house like a chicken without a head. Less 7 months after our consultation, my husband has his permanent residence. Thank you Arslan!

Arslan Chaudhary provided excellent counsel for my husband and I as we underwent the immigration process. I am a US citizen marrying a French national, and we sought out an attorney for the process because we knew we didn't want to bring a paperwork headache onto ourselves. Arslan was recommended by a trusted friend in the community, and we could not have been happier with our experience. He listened to us and saw us for who we are and gave us wise advice on the best ways to move forward through the process. We never questioned him and always felt his integrity. I am aware I just used the word integrity referring to an attorney... I don't use it lightly. This guy is legit legit legit. Highly recommended.

My spouse and I needed an attorney to help with a J1 Visa hardship waiver and a marriage based Green Card. We hired Ranchod Law from Sacremento, CA even thought we live on the east coast. Melissa Oklan helped us with the waiver and then Yesenia helped us with the Green Card. Both were successful! Both Melissa and Yesenia responded to our questions and concerns quickly and concisely!

My husband and I met Bernardo for the first time toward the end of 2011 and hired him in early 2012 to represent us in adjusting my husband's status to permanent resident. Prior to meeting Bernardo we interviewed a handful of attorneys, each of whom made us feel judged and as if our case was hopeless. Bernardo was honest and realistic about our situation yet did not treat us with scorn regarding the circumstances that brought us to this point in our lives. Our case required a waiver of grounds of inadmissability for my husband which unfortunately was denied. We then filed an appeal and received notice in August of 2014 that our appeal was sustained. In December of 2014 we were notified that our case was approved and my husband recieved his green card in the mail before month's end. Throughout the near 3 years of working with Bernardo on our case he guided us thoroughly and competently through the process of collecting extensive documentation, responded to all requests in a timely manner, and provided us with the information and resources we needed along the way. He also dealt with what was at times a very emotional and frustrating process for us with respect, patience, and professionalism. Since this was such a lengthy process with much time spent waiting to hear from the USCIS on next steps, we occasionally became anxious and reached out to Bernardo to inquire about the status of our case. Though he was always prompt in responding to our inquiries and thoroughly answered all of our questions, some of our anxiety and resulting inquiries may have been prevented by Bernardo prompting a check in with us after long periods of silence even if just to reassure us that our case is still in process, what he expects general next steps and estimated timelines to be, and any action he will take if those timelines elapse (i.e. making a status inquiry with the USCIS). However, this suggestion for how Bernardo can further improve his already outstanding service is small in the scheme of things. He is truly an expert in his field and a great attorney. We would recommend him to anyone seeking councel for immigration matters regardless how complicated their situation.

We hired Bernardo to facilitate a change of status with immigration services. Great experience working with Bernardo and his staff. He was very responsive and knowledgable of the immigration process. He did an excellent job of preparing us for the interview, and ensuring we brought the numerous required documents and how to deal with the questions they ask was particularly helpful. His representation expedited the entire process from end to end. Unfortunately, dealing with immigration can be a cumbersome and difficult process but Bernardo helped make it as simple and streamlined as possible. Price was fair considering the hours required.

Ryan is a fierce advocate. We fired our previous attorney who boasted he had "over 30 years experience in workers compensation cases". At the first bump, our previous attorney rolled over, and basically quit on us. We were fortunate to find an attorney like Ryan who stood up for us, and fought the crooked workers compensation adjuster every step of the way. Ryan's knowledge and nuanced approach to getting a favorable outcome for his clients is unmatched. The depth of knowledge he has simply blew away the opposition. He fights day and night, and unlike most law firms that claim they will be there for you, Ryan always responds and does not have your typical case manager or paralegal (as with most firms) screen your calls when a question or concern arises. Ryan is the attorney that will get you results, and our family cannot recommend him enough.

We turned to Liana after my husband and I were denied our case due to the non-receipt of the documents we sent. We went through ten circles of hell before finally finding Lianna. All the lawyers said it was better to open the case from scratch, pay an exorbitant amount of fees, and wait again. Others said that the fees would still have to be paid again to get the case reviewed. And others refused to take on the case due to its complexity and ambiguity. Lianna, however, clearly explained all the steps we would take, and told us that it was not our mistake and we should not pay any fees again. As a result, our case was reopened for review. Ten days later, we received approval for our case! Words cannot express how grateful I am to Liana! She truly saved our case and helped us immensely when we had almost lost hope. I highly recommend her!

She is the definition of a lawyer. She took my huge mess and not just organized it but went through with it to the end. She took her time to explain everything to me so I was up to par with my case and guided me to the end. You can tell she is an advocate for you. I truly recommend her!

He actually reached out to us many times to keep tabs on the case, and contrary to every lawyer story you've ever heard, (sit down for this one...) called to tell us we were due a refund when the case was over. Nice, easy going, honest, helpful, knowledgeable, effective: I would highly recommend Cesar.

I've been in the US since I was about 2. My parents applied and became residents along with my brothers and sisters. I've had a green card ever since, never really thought about it or ever considered becoming a citizen. Sure enough, a couple years back I got into a fight, I pleaded to a charge which basically got me transfered to ICE when completing my sentence. My family went to David and hired him. I found that with the conviction I plead to, I would be a mandatory detainee without an option to stay in the country. End result was that they went to the criminal court fixed it so I could apply for an application called 42a which the judge granted. I was released from custody and no more courts. After I was releaser from immigration, we went back to the criminal court and have been doing some classes and caltrans which I believe will help me lower my criminal charge. This experience really sucked but it was a wake up call. I'm blessed to have had this second opportunity at life here in the US with my family, thanks to David. I'm hoping to become a citizen in a year and a half when I am eligible. I am very grateful to my attorney for being there for me and not taking advantage of my family.

My 15 year journey to become an immigrant has been a long, arduous and sometimes fret with so much uncertainty, fear, and even desperation. The dream for a better life so that we could give our children a good future is always first and foremost on a parent's mind and heart. My Mom, who came to the US almost 30 years ago. was referred to Aquino Law office for her immigration needs then. Now I am following in my Mom's footsteps and have been so blessed and grateful that I have Atty. Allison Aquino and Atty. Richard Loew as my lawyers. Last year, I went to Atty. Allison to consult with her about my case but deep inside I was already resigned to the fact that there was no hope for my status anymore. But on that sunny afternoon, it was like the whole sky just opened up and shone unexpected blessings to me when Atty. Allison found a way to help me with my status.I was so shocked with happiness and excitement that there was still hope for my case after all! Atty. Allison was so thorough and helpful and straight to the point but at the same I could really feel her compassion for her clients. The Aquino and Loew Law offices treat their clients with much respect and caring and I really appreciated both Atty. Allison Aquino and Atty. Richard Loew's understanding and sensitivity to my own specific case. Atty. Allison, for one is very knowledgeable and really knows how to approach your case the best way possible. Atty. Richard also is a very proactive lawyer and definitely gets the job done. He was very invaluable in my Adjustment of Status Interview and was a great boost and support to me. The Aquino and Loew Law Offices gets a top rating and review from me because my experience with them has been very positive and very encouraging and inspiring. I am one of their many clients who walked thru their doors hoping that they could help me attain my dream of becoming an immigrant - and that is exactly what they did for me. They helped me get my dream after 15 years! I can just imagine the countless other clients that Atty. Allison and Atty. Richard have helped and changed the client's lives for the better. I highly recommend the Aquino and Loew Law offices for your immigration needs as they are on-point, very knowledgeable about immigration laws, caring and compassionate and very creative in finding solutions to cases plus their interpersonal skills are one of a kind. From my own experience with both Atty. Allison and Atty. Richard, I would consider them great lawyers who provide good service to their clients. They turned my fears into hopes, my frustration of my case into hopeful potential and finally, they helped me attain my dream of being a permanent resident after 15 long years! Thank you Atty. Allison Aquino and Atty. Richard Loew and your ever efficient and helpful staff for all your hard work and perseverance on my case.

He always return my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern, even when I had to talk to him during his days off. It is so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you without being rushed or bombarded with terms you don’t understand.

Professional, empathetic, and a relentless advocate, Naomi took hold of my case and rid my life of an extremely detrimental problem. It's cliché but true: sometimes the mistakes of the past come back to haunt us. And after making a stupid mistake when I was 19 and being arrested, pleading no contest, completing my sentence, having my record expunged by the court, and staying out of trouble for 20 years, my record resurfaced. So much for expungement. A friend recommended I see Naomi. She listened intently, asked insightful and pertinent questions, and learned all she could from me. She tracked my 20-year-old case down (no small feat I'm told) and then came back with even more information from the court so she knew every inch of my dilemma. She gave me multiple options, guided me through her process, explained why she was choosing the route she was, walked me through possible outcomes, and kept me updated every step of the way. I'm happy to say she made the expungement stick this time. I'm no longer burdened by the dumb mistake I made and do not have to worry that my record might still be out there in the ether somewhere. I would highly recommend Naomi to friends, family and colleagues who need an attorney. Thank you, Naomi!

I was in a car accident that was not my fault and hurt my neck and back. I called a few places to see if I could get a consultation but they seemed not interested when I told them about the property damage estimates. I found David in a magazine advertisement and called his office, and actually got to talk with him and he said he would take my case and that property damage does not always equal bodily injury. He handled everything with the insurance and sent me to a chiropractor to get treatment which really helped with the pain. For my settlement he got all my medical bills paid, my car fixed, and some extra for future medical expenses that was more than I expected. I definitely would go back to David if I got in another accident but hopefully I’ll never need his services again.

We hired Grace for a marriage related issue with green card. She was very helpful and reassuring in the time when we were most nervous and needed the support as well as professional help. She gave her best to find the specific information within the law and from specific experts in other areas as well when it was needed. Furthermore, even tough our case was specific and situation requested some extra consultation and research from her side, she prepared us for every possible situation that could happen, and with no extra charge from the one we agreed upon during our first interview.

Grace is not only an extremely professional and smart lawyer, she is also very caring and patience when explaining the legal implications of a case. She worked my immigration case to obtain a TN visa and it was successfully approved. I tried another lawyer before her and the treatment wasn't great, I even felt discouraged for a while, but after meeting Grace I not only felt confident on the strength of my case, but also on its success. I wouldn't look for anyone else, Grace is from now my go-to legal advisor and I'm incredibly happy to continue to work with her in the future.

I had a billing dispute with a well known rental car company. It was over a pre-existing crack in the windshield of a rental vehicle. Despite my notification to them and assurance from their representative that I would not be charged, they billed me for the damage. Through a legal benefit provided by my workplace, I hired Justin to handle this issue. Justin was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He wrote a very well-crafted demand letter citing relevant California statutes and case law. His expertise and attention to detail were instrumental in getting the rental car company to drop the claim entirely. Thanks to Justin, I avoided an unjust charge and a lot of stress. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and effective attorney.

after spending 2 years and $25,000 I ran out of money . Had to hire a lawyer as I was being dragged to court again for ridiculous charges . I hired attorney Cyrus prior to another forced court hearing having nothing to do with a settlement . He connected with the opposing parties associate attorney and cut a settlement before court but X refused . We went to court and the Judge knew immediately Atty Cyrus was well educated and his goal was getting a settlement and not wasting the courts time . The judge set mediation and in 30 days we were in mediation . The mediator was impressed with his knowledge and skills . He prepared me telling me we had to possibly do more then what we offer . 3 hours later and 60 days from the time I hired him we had a settle agreement signed with no spousal support and reasonable terms . I have more the 30 years experience in business and have to say he is one of the best tell me like it is lawyer I have met . He will not paint a ridiculous picture of how you can win or ask for any of the forensic accounting ,specialist business ,appraisers etc the $390 /hr lawyers will tell you have to have . I can not say enough about his knowledge of the lawy, the judges, courts ,honesty and sincerest in getting the job done .

I found Stone Haven law by doing a google search for best immigration attorneys in the Inland Empire. I was a bit pessimistic as I had tried 2 other firms that failed to meet my needs before going into Stone Haven Law's FREE consultation. From the moment I walked in, the staff was very professional. I worked with Anudeep who was very helpful and knowledgable. After doing some research and speaking to the other attorneys in the firm, I knew they were the ones best fit for my situation and needs. The rates are better and they are more responsive to my situation than other attorneys in the area, really great service.

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.
