I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Paul Szeto LLC, especially Alice and the entire team, throughout my green card application process. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and patience, guiding us through every step with clarity and attention to detail. Alice was always prompt in addressing any questions and kept us informed at each stage, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.
Their attention to detail and proactive reminders about key steps, such as future requirements for the I-751 petition and address changes, truly stand out. It’s clear that they care about their clients’ long-term success and legal compliance, not just the immediate case at hand. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Szeto LLC to anyone seeking reliable and thorough immigration representation. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us through this journey!

I applied for my EB-1 visa with Paul and his team, and throughout the long process, which lasted 2 years, they have been incredibly thoughtful, helpful and agile at every step. This was not an easy application, which required lengthy letters to be written, essays to be drafted, and hurdles to be crossed through various agencies. They were attentive, gave me expert advice, and answered any last minute questions I had right away. I have already recommended Paul and his team to many colleagues and friends needing immigration and visa counsel, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone needing either short term advice, or long term application assistance. Thank you Paul, Alice and the rest of your team!

I had the pleasure of consulting with Murat on both immigration and criminal matters, and I can’t speak highly enough of his professionalism and expertise. He helped me file for my parents’ permanent residency, guiding me through every step with a deep understanding of the law and a reassuring confidence. His approach to business is exceptional – always responsive, thorough, and patient with any questions I had.
What stood out the most was the peace of mind I felt while working with Murat. His knowledge and clear communication put me at ease throughout the entire process. I’ve also referred a few friends to him, and they’ve shared similar positive feedback, praising how skillfully he handles their cases. I understand each case is different, but if you’re looking for an immigration professional, I stand 100% behind my recommendation to use Murat’s services.

Rena Thakkar was phenomenal throughout our first home buying experience. She was on top of it all, and walked us through what the timeline was, and even sent us reminders to keep the ball rolling.
Rena negotiated and navigated the attorney review process with ease, leaving us with zero work to be done on our home based on the inspection reports. Her knowledge of real estate law and the process is superb, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in buying a property!

Worst experience ever. Quick to take your money, but doesn't respond to calls or emails. Setting money on fire would be more useful than consulting with this guy. At least you'd get some light and warmth from that.

Without a doubt, I am fortunate to call this dashing lawyer a personal and family friend. Whenever we have any problem to be sorted out, we go straight to Peter. In an anecdotal reference, when my mother had to deal with unfair traffic ticketing, Peter had found all sorts of holes in the prosecution, proving my mother's innocence in the matter. She was so happy with his professional manner of handling the case, that when my younger sister had a traffic problem, my mother directly went to Peter to represent my sister in court. Once again, his thorough case studies and detailing went above and beyond our expectations, and incidentally the prosecution's as well.
Since then, he has helped in our cases of immigration, business, social security, and other matters dealing with the state laws. He is very courteous and friendly in the office, and reminds you always that he is on your side. Perhaps his humor is something to adapt to, but in a matter of a few meetings, you will find yourself splitting sides and jovial, with confidence that he really will pull through for you. In fact, just the other day I visited his office with a friend that was in all sorts of trouble. He was serious, but there was a twinkle in his eye that calmed the nerve of my friend very quickly, and he assured that he would be able to handle the case without a hitch. Since my family has witnessed his fire in court, I have no qualms to reassure my friend that Peter is indeed the real deal.
I have referred several friends to him, and not only is he very open, he is very reasonable with his rates. If Mr. Kollory is not your first stop, he will certainly be your last stop for legal matters in NJ. He answers calls within the day, and his professional manners have him placed at the top of his peers. I don't even think twice and remember to keep his business card on hand to proudly say, "I am being represented by Peter Kollory."

I hired Peter S Kollory to perform immigration and business service to my organization. He took the money upfront. He did not have a plan/schedule to complete the task on time as it was time based. He did not give any dates and deliverable's that he should perform based on my input nor gave a plan for me to deliver to accomplish his milestones. Because of his inability, lack of knowledge and experience our immigration petition was not filed before the 2013 H1B quota closed on April 05, 2013. He does not have any policy on communication and co-ordination. Phone calls and emails were not returned on time. It was a very BAD experience and lost time and money using his service.
I WILL NOT RECOMMEND HIS SERVICE TO ANYONE NOR WILL GO BACK TO HIM.

I can definitely recommend Mr. Peter Kollory, he is very good and knowledgeable lawyer, I don't know about other guy's review about Mr. Peter Kollory, all I know is I heard about his good reputation, his honesty and help to clients that was the reason I have approached him and carried away with the same impression, he did two H1Bs for me in very difficult times. The fees he charged are OK for me.

I hired Ms.Patel through her firm Pasricha and Patel for my family based green card petition.
The first ime you call and speak they leave a great impression which is misleading. After I hired them I was only able to communicate with their paralegal who would never be avilable to take calls. Any notices I received from USCIS I would check online and have to call the paralegal and have it emailed to me. I would prepare my forms and send it to them and they would take many days to file, and I constantly had to follow up.
I was highly displeased with the services provided and the lack of efficiency with which my case was handled. I would not recommend their firm.

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.
