Yurika was everything I could ever ask for in an attorney. Seriously....I can't think of anything she could have done better. My wife was in the country legally on a J-1 visa and we decided to get married and file a marriage-based adjustment of status (for a green card). It was painless the whole way through. Before even compensating or retaining Yurika, she literally answered each and every question I had regarding the process and even had the courtesy to look over our documents to confirm we had everything in order to file with USCIS. This played a huge part in us committing to be her clients. Her firm and paralegals are just as accommodating throughout the process. Ask anything, and they will give you clear and concise answers. We had our final interview last week to which Yurika prepared us for and even accompanied us to the interview with the USCIS officer present. My wife has since been approved and we are just waiting for the green card in the mail. Couldn't recommend her more if you're reading this post. As a plus, I shopped around beforehand, getting 4-5 quotes from immigration attorneys in the D.C. Area and Yurika's cost was the most reasonable; that, coupled with her highly rated reviews, you can't go wrong.

I cannot more whole heartedly recommend attorney Yurika Cooper for your immigration needs. My husband and I had what turned out to be a fairly complex marriage based petition, and what should have been a 6 month relationship with attorney Cooper stretched into 4.5 years. During the long delay our case experienced (which, by the way, had nothing to do with Yurika's work - we experienced a long delay on USCIS' part) we not only were never charged more than the flat fee we had agreed to at the beginning of our case, but attorney Cooper continued to do whatever she could to push our case forward. Since we had to wait so long, again on a delay from USCIS, she eventually referred us to a litigator to file a lawsuit based on the delay. We liked attorney Cooper so much that we were genuinely terrified to leave her. As it turned out, we were eventually successful and the new attorney, who checked over everything that had been done before he came on, found that everything was complete and that she had done everything possible before recommending a lawsuit.
As a client, I can tell you that Yurika is everything you want in a lawyer. She usually gets back to any email within 24 hours, and can usually set up calls within a few days. She is also open to office meetings. Anything that was mailed to her office was followed by an email saying that they received it, and she was prompt in getting things submitted. She also manages her own schedule, so you don't have to go through a gate keeper to get to her. In addition to being responsive, she has tremendous "bed side manner" and always takes time to chat and point out the positive aspects of your case. I know that bed side manner doesn't seem that important when you start a case, but if your case goes off the rails it will be incredibly important to you. Could not recommend her more, she literally saved my family.

Zachary Kohn helped me win two different legal matters. During the initial consult, he considered all possible strategies and chose the best approach for resolving my legal matters. He was also very responsive and kept my informed throughout the whole process. I’m very grateful he was able to help me get the results I wanted.

The whole long process in obtaining a green card was well taken care off. Although communication with others in the firm was not always easy, Zachary replied within a very short amount of time. Highly recommend contacting him if you need assistance with your green card application.

Attorney Kohn is excellent. He's highly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient in explaining the complexities of immigration law and procedure. He or his team always responded quickly and thoughtfully, and were realistic about what we should expect during the process amid the covid pandemic. Thanks to him, we were successful in our green card petition. I highly recommend Attorney Kohn!

I had a very technically difficult immigration case, which most other law firms would not even bother to take up as they said that my chances of success are near zero. Not only did Morris and Carolyn take up my case, they also successfully managed to conclude my 'impossible' case as I am now a permanent resident. The team is highly professional and are proficient experts in immigration law. One of the best things about the team is that they work very hard and efficiently, hence as a client I rarely had to run after them as they were on top of all issues and very proactive.

I worked with Mr. Deutsch regarding my O1-visa and following Green card applications. Mr. Deutsch and his team did an excellent job preparing and handling my visa and green card application packages. I live in Louisiana, so we worked all the time through emails and occasional phone calls. They worked fast and always responded to my emails the same day. The team is very reliable and incredibly professional. I was very pleased that I got my O1-visa approval within 1 week and later my Green card within 1 year since filing the application. I would highly recommend this immigration law firm and I can assure you that you will be satisfied with successful and high quality work of this firm on your application/filing.

I am not sure how much myself and my family is thankful to him. He got EMPLOYMENT-BASED GREEN CARD for me in a year. I was so stressed before I met him and when we started the process. But after that I am still amazed how fast the process went through with him. He made everything really simple and easy. I would definitely recommend him , he is one of the greatest lawyer that I worked with. Very pleased.

Dear Friends, I would like to say how grateful me and my family are that we met Mr. Efe Poturoglu!!! If it wasn't for his dedication, hard work, efficiency, knowledge, professionalism and caring heart, no one would have had our cases resolved! Can I tell you, that we had a lawyer, prior to Mr Efe, who was working on our cases for years, and kept getting it failed, or pending, never cared, charged for every question and every e-mail, and was just absolutely forgetful. Got our cases mixed up. And then she left on vacation a week before our MTR response was due! It was a total nightmare!!!! My sister was about to give up! And then we have found Mr Efe! Actually, on this web-site! The reviews that I read about him sounded just like our circumstance! He truly was not afraid to take upon himself a very complicated case. He worked so hard, and in 1 week he achieved what other lawyers couldn't do in over 2 years! am not saying that you should be waiting till the last moment. I am just saying that is that GREAT!!! My other friends couldn't get their citizenship issues fixed, and Mr Poturoglu did it for them. They couldn't be happier!! And now me! I had quite a difficult case, and Efe was so amazing and so helpful, he assured us and informed us about each step that was going to take place. He was checking on us. He never forgot to follow up. And answered every question we had! And he won it!!!!! All my papers were good, it's just that the circumstances were complicated and Efe made it possible for me and my husband to enjoy my Green Card!!!!!! Yay!!!!! Thank you, Efe!!!!!:))))) You are part of the family!!!!!

I was having the most stressful period of my life before one of friends highly recommended Mr. Poturoglu to me. I feel so lucky to meet him. It was not easy to stay here 6 years as a student. After 1 year later I met Mr. Poturoglu, I am a green card holder. No matter how complex your case is, Mr. Poturoglu will look for a solution. He clearly explained all the options I had and he always made sure that I clearly understood all my options. He always informed me any changes , delays or setbacks. With his extensive and up to date knowledge he changed my life. I highly recommend Efe Poturoglu.

Had a good experience to work with Serge and his team. They’re honest, open, real. My immigration case was a lot of work and they were very specific about every detail, they made me gather as many documents as I could. Probably that’s why I received my green card even without interview. Such a relief. So grateful to Serge and his assistants.

Mr. Bauer helped our family with obtaining green cards more than a decade ago, and last year, he assisted with the green card application for my mother. The whole process went very smoothly, and my mom received her green card within 8 months. Ms. Rachel Cupelo, Mr. Bauer’s assistant, did an excellent job, being very meticulous and responsive. Knowing Mr. Bauer’s high professionalism, we have recommended his firm to our friends over many years and will continue doing so.

Mr. Benach is a great immigration lawyer who set our minds at ease from the start with his caring approach and clear knowledge of the immigration system.
When we hired Mr. Benach for the adjustment of status of my wife, my wife was nervous about starting the whole process of moving permanently to the United States. From our first appointment with him, we realized that everything would be fine. Mr. Benach and his team took care of us as if we were their most important clients. Everything was filed on time, and the whole process was so much easier than we thought it was going to be. He and his entire staff are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He was involved in our case from beginning to end, paid attention to every detail, and kept us informed along the way. We have been lucky to have him as our attorney during this important phase in our life, and we know there are other attorneys out there who are neither as competent, trustworthy, or caring. We always recommend him to our family and friends because we know that they will be in good hands.

While attending college, I was placed in removal proceedings to a country where my life was in real jeopardy. My mentor and I went to numerous attorneys who admitted that they could not help me and that my only solution was to go back to the very country where I would be killed. But, going back was not an option for me. Luckily our search ended when we found Andres. From the start, Andres was warm and honest and he told me that we would work together in the various legal strategies he proposed. Through several client meetings, Andres discovered that I had an asylum claim. The journey was long, complicated, and very difficult for me because I felt that I had no control whatsoever over my life. However, working with Andres made me feel supported and comforted at every hearing and interview. If you have been in immigration proceedings, you will understand that not all attorneys make you feel this way and that it’s really great when you find an attorney who sympathizes and believes in you. Finally, Andres won my long and complicated case. In about one year, I will be able to naturalize and I am forever grateful to Andres because he gave me back my life, my dreams, and has given me the opportunity to continue serving low-income and at-risk children in the U.S.
For me, Andres is the attorney who made the difference in my world and I recommend him in a heartbeat to all my family, friends, and anyone who has immigration issues. Not only is he an efficient and successful attorney, but also a great human being who sincerely cares for his clients. If you have a complicated immigration case that no one else can solve, I can assure you that Andres is the answer. If he cannot solve it (must be because there is no legal way to do it), he will be honest with you.

Mr. Krop came highly recommended to my wife and I from a mutual acquaintance, and the recommendation was severely under-stated, with nowhere near the credit given that he is most deserving of. We were always promptly and cordially greeted, either by an assistant, co-worker, or Mr. Krop himself. He was informative, unbiased, vastly knowledgeable on the subject of our issue, and concise in what options we had as a couple, as well as the most beneficial way to navigate our legal proceedings. From e-mail or telephone correspondences, to in-person meetings in his cozy, intimate, and highly professional office, to attending and representing (and his all-around amicable, supportive nature towards) us throughout every step of our filings and interviews, Sebastian made an absolute joy out of an otherwise nerve-wracking endeavor, and displayed and instilled an rock-solid confidence that has made the dreams of my wife and myself a joyous reality! I can not speak highly enough of his demeanor, knowledge, and litigious skill. Highly recommend, would definitely retain again in the future!

As Permanent Residents for over five years, my sister and I finally decided that it was time to for us apply for U.S. Citizenship by submitting Naturalization applications (N-400) to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Upon the advice of our parents, we decided to first consult with Mr. Taylor at Taylor Law Firm, PLLC before submitting the applications. We were pleasantly surprised when during the consultation Mr. Taylor revealed to us that we were already U.S. Citizens and did not need to submit naturalization applications to USCIS. We now have our U.S. Passports. Mr. Taylor saved us time and money, and provided us quality services. We strongly recommend Mr. Taylor at Taylor Law Firm, PLLC to anyone looking for an excellent Immigration Attorney

John has been a great support for me as I navigated the complex immigration system to get my green card.. He helped me avoid some huge mistakes that could have occurred had I followed advice that was given to me by some other law firms that were hired by various companies that hired me.

Most people do not realize the stress and toll that immigration processes have on people, and a good lawyer makes all the difference. I could not recommend him more!

He was very confident and knowledgeable, and he knows the law very well. I also had an impression that he really cares about what he does, and he really wants to help people. That is very impressive.

My wife and I hired Todd Pilcher after she was put into removal proceedings. I'll skip over a few years of details, but with Mr. Pilcher's representation, we overcame the charge and were granted the relief we were seeking.
I recommend Todd Pilcher to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. He is smart, hard working, and is well respected among his peers. Just as important, he is very approachable. Immigrants with limited knowledge of the legal system and limited English proficiency need to have a lawyer they feel comfortable reaching out to. Mr. Pilcher is exactly that person.

I found him to be pragmatic, honest and someone with highly-developed interpersonal skills (which really helped during intense negotiations).
Murad helped my business tactfully mediate a major dispute and successfully negotiate and execute the resulting contracts. In fact, my company had spent 8 months negotiating this deal and it was at risk of imploding. Luckily, Murad and his team were there to help advocate for us and bring us to a successful and fair resolution. I would definitely recommend Murad and his firm.

After dealing with an immigration attorney who turned out to be too laid backed even after a RFE was issued for my immigration case, my employer (with my consent) decided to switch attorneys. This was at a crucial time in my case so obviously it was very stressful for me, my employer and my family. We were recommended Mr. Basyuk by a mutual friend and were immediately impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail and calm demeanor. Compared to the first immigration attorney, Mr. Basyuk constantly kept us up-to-date on what to expect next. I am extremely happy to report my work authorization documentation arrived in a timely manner, and my green card came through a lot quicker than we had all expected. My employer is continuing to use Sergey's services; we highly recommend his work and would not hesitate to pass his contact details onto anyone who is looking for a great immigration attorney.

Mr. Sergey Basyuk showed total interest in my case since day 1. He was the third immigration lawyer my husband and I interviewed and definitely our best option. He made sure that he had the complete information about us and understood our priorities, needs and life cycle at that time, which helped a lot to guide us to our right path, as each case is different.
The whole process was clearly explained to us step by step. That helped us a lot and made us feel relax. Also, he was always available for us in person, on the phone, on e-mails to answer any doubt with the best attitude.
My husband and I were so busy at that time with our own jobs, the move to the U.S., the wedding, and so on, that we blindly trusted Mr. Basyuk and let him lead the way. It worked smoothly and simple. I am sure that if we had done this by ourselves we would have been stressed and would have taken longer as it is a process that requires tons of original documents, affidavits, deadlines, application forms, different payments as the process goes along, and so on.
If I have to resume Mr. Basyuk's service, I definitely say fast response, knowledge, respect, commitment, punctuality and good attitude.
My immigration process is finished now, and I would totally recommend Mr. Sergey Basyuk, a trustworthy attorney.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
