I have known Deborah since 2012. Initially, she took care of our ( me and my wife’s) E2 visa to come to the US. E2 is not an easy, straightforward process, but we got approved on the spot mainly because of the way she put our case together. It was very thorough, and there was no room for second-guessing for the interviewing officer. Later in the US and with her assistance, we extended our E2 for a couple of times, and there were no issues whatsoever. More recently, she helped us with our adjustment of status from E2 to GREEN CARD. She helped us with filing the labor certificate, i40, and i485 for both my wife and me. Today we got approved for our employment-based green card. She has been helping us for more than 7 years, and it has always been bull’s-eye. She is a great adviser, and she knows the immigration law very well. She is calm, resourceful and very experienced in her job. She also is very honest and gives you the most frank advice on your case (even if you do not wanna hear it), and her judgment is impeccable on the chances you got on a case. She is not in this for the money, unlike many other attornies. In this day and age, a reliable immigration attorney is the best resource you can have on your side, and Deborah is for sure that person

Me and my family came from Sweden to U.S. it was not easy to find a good lawyer to have a good reputation, trust them with money and take care of your case in the shortest period. Ms. Townsend had more than all of them. Her voice calms you down. We hired her right a way. We are still in touch with Ms. Townsend and I would never hire any attorney until speak with her to get referrals. I wish there was more than 5 stars in the review because she deserves 10. Who ever know me, they know Ms. Townsend. We don’t have many like her and is sad.

She was incredibly professional, kind, and thorough throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent, whether by phone or email, and she kept me informed every step of the way. Her expertise and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. My family and I are so grateful for what she has done for us. Thank you Nichelle! S. Carnegie

NANCY has always made me feel like I’m her ONLY client. Even though I hear her phone(s) ring during every call! I haven’t waited more than 15 minutes for a direct returned phone call from her, EVER. From the initial consultation she has always shown complete professionalism. I can tell she genuinely enjoys helping. She’s handled every matter I’ve thrown to her extremely fast and with the utmost professionalism. I’ve also caught emails from her in the extreme early morning to the late evening to quickly handle issues. Over the past month I’ve grown to trust Nancy as family although we have yet to meet in person. She’s represented me as the title company for my recent home purchase, to review/correct all loan and contract issues, and to protect my rental security deposits rightful return. I live in Cape Coral and was skeptical to hire an attorney so far away, but I assure you not to hesitate because of distance. Your initial consultation will show you exactly what I’m talking about. I have not had much contact with any of her assistants but the times I have they have followed through with letting Nancy know I’ve called and always had an upbeat attitude. During the times when you need an attorney life is usually pretty stressful so a simple voice tone can change your day. The happy receptionist and the affirmative voice of Nancy is worth every dollar spent. LASTLY, Nancy does not know I’m writing this review and I’m receiving no compensation or discount whatsoever from this. This is the FIRST review I’ve ever written online so that should speak for itself. Readers my apologies for my punctuation and possible incorrect format. Thank you Nancy! Stay Strong, Tyler O.

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Campiglia last summer. A group of us homeowners used a go fund me account to hire her for her legal services and it was so refreshing to speak to a lawyer who really knew her stuff. Our initial consultation was eye opening as we learned things about HOA laws and the State of Florida laws that we never knew about. Her advice was spot on and her method to get results was amazing. She is calm, but persistent. She was available almost 24 hours a day for us and didn't try to nickle and dime us with billing for quick responses or questions. It truly was refreshing working with her and if you are having any HOA questions, concerns,or problems, RUN don't walk, RUN to Ms. Campiglia. These HOA issues can get harrowing and stressful on residents, but Ms. Campiglia was the the mature adult in the room who knew the laws and had the answers. Thank you Ms. Campiglia, you exceeded all of our expectations

On a Monday morning in April 2014 I was arriving at work and parked my car as always in the parking lot. As I walked the few yards to the entrance I was followed by two men who then stopped me and showed me their batch and told me that they’re ICE officers and want to see my ID. The next thing I was detained and put back inside an unmarked van and driven to an office where I was interrogated. Thinking no big deal my Attorney will get me out of this mess before the end of the day. Wow was I wrong! The Agents were nice enough to let me make some phone calls so I could let people know where I was. I also made a call to my then Attorney that was answered with the comment “I’m leaving on a vacation. Call me back next week”. After the questioning was done I was transferred to Krome Detention Center in West Miami where I was booked for the night while my wife and friends tried to get the money together to bail me out -- what took till 6pm on Tuesday. Soon after I was released I was referred to the Law Office of Milton Aponte where I got promptly an appointment. I arrived at the office and was greeted by his assistant who introduced me to Mr. Aponte. They were both listening carefully and made me feel that my case matters when I explained to them what got me into this predicament and Mr. Aponte explained me that it is not going to be quick and easy and might take some time to resolve the issue in my favor. I felt very comfortable with Mr. Aponte taking over my case. I hired him to take care of my case in front of USCIS. Over the last three years Mr. Aponte and his team worked very hard, skillfully and diligently on my very difficult case to get all the evidence to support my grant of adjustment of status. Finally last week my wife and I accompanied by Mr. Aponte went to the last interview in front of the Immigration officer and my adjustment of status was granted. We are very happy with the service Mr. Aponte has provided. Everything was done to our fullest satisfaction. Mr. Aponte was very supportive of our case and made us feel very comfortable thru the whole process. I am looking forward to use his services in three years for my naturalization! We highly recommend Aponte Immigration, PLLC to everyone who has to deal with the difficulties of Immigration. Mr. Aponte’s skills and knowledge of the matter are outstanding and cannot be praised enough. I highly recommend him.

Since the beginning, Mr. Aponte was very detailed in explaining us the case and worked with my family towards obtaining the pardon for my brother’s deportation. The case was complicated, since my brother committed aggravated felonies back in his youth and was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. Our case took about four months. We did not meet him in person until a couple of days prior to the trial, when we travelled to Florida. Even though, the communication was seamless as if we were meeting with him at his office. He was available at all times for our questions and to discuss his strategy, preparing us to testify and explained the whole trial process. He is a very spiritual person. At the end my brother was granted the Cancelation of Removal. I would highly recommend Mr. Aponte for any complicated case.

Since that date, the process has elapsed for almost 3 months, during this time we worked closely with MIlton who submitted very well prepared legal motions to release my son. Finally, on the hearing held a week ago, my son was released by the means of a Cancellation of Removal, order issued by the Immigration Judge. If you need a First Class Legal Professional, with a large and fruitful experience and particularly a great human being, Milton is you best choice. My family and I are very greatful for Milton´s performance a lawyer and as a friend.

I am a surgeon who is still young in terms of our normal career path. I found myself unable to do any procedures or surgery despite being in a specialty that is by definition procedure oriented. I did purchase private own occupation long-term disability insurance when I was a resident, but I never thought I'd have to use it. When it became clear that I was not getting better at the rate I would like, I called up a few different firms to help me guide through the process. I found that Eddie was not only available but affable, and I could tell he is definitely able. His previous win for another surgeon who unfortunately had to go all the way to the court gave me a lot of confidence that he was going to be able to fight for me every step of the way. We had quite a bit of push back from the very beginning, but he was able to guide me throughout the process and despite persistent pushbacks and demands from the insurance company, I was just told today that we finally got the approval! His assistant Sonya has also been excellent. Getting the approval is way more difficult than I first imagined. I am so glad that I had Eddie to help me. I'll recommend him and his team without a hesitation

My wife and I worked with John Gihon for 2 years and we truly wish we would have found him earlier. We spent 3 years with 3 other lawyers and our case was becoming hopeless. The last attorney referred us to Mr Gihon and it was the best thing that could have happened. He and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. We dealt with Laura for some of the aspects of our process and her communication is superb. Mr Gihon made our imigration case very easy to understand and was patient to help us along the way. Having him represent me in imigration court gave me a lot of confidence. He gave me the proper coaching before the court date and made sure I was fully prepared. Our case is finally closed! I would 100% recommend his services!

2013 was the worse and toughest year I had ever encountered. My family walk into jose office scared and confused just wondering if they would ever see me again. Jose was hired on the spot . In a matter of a couple of days jose was able to get me out of krome detention center. My journey began 2013 and ended august 2019. It was tough for me at times to try to keep it together but jose made me feel so comfortable. At times when I would go to my hearings I felt UNTOUCHABLE I felt like I had the incredible hulk right next to me. He is just simply the BEST at what he does hands down. You hear so many stories in life about lawyers but this man is just second to none. He is an Exceptional human being passionate about what he does and so loving and caring to help those in need.

Más de un día completo he estado ocupando mis neuronas en encontrar las palabras correctas para expresar el agradecimiento y el sentimiento de deuda hacia Maureen por su trabajo al representarme ante USCIS en los tiempos actuales, 2019-2020. Ese agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda ha Maureen es tan extenso y profundo como el mar porque ella logró que mi petición I-485 (residencia permanente) fuese aprobada. Y lo más interesante: siempre sabía qué hacer y siempre confiaba en que lo que estaba haciendo era lo idóneo para el momento y la circunstancia en cuestión. Algo que no pude encontrar en otros bufetes o firmas de abogados, y lo digo en plural: en OTROS. Maureen logró que una petición que había sido enviada a permanecer sepultada en algún anaquel del Centro Nacional de Archivos (NRC, por sus siglas en inglés) fuese traída de vuelta al mismo ritmo de los demás procesos, que fuese revisada, y luego felizmente aprobada. Esto lo hizo reclamando las provisiones que están en la Ley Nacional de Inmigracion, no suplicando a USCIS, como otros muchos abogados planteaban que debía hacerse. Maureen llevo adelante el proceso con toda la razón propia de un profesional que conoce su profesión, y, además, con dignidad. Muy importante. Pero eso no es todo, cuando visite otros abogados, y no fueron pocos por cierto, me pedían villas y Castillas: mucho dinero, o lo que para mi resultaba ser mucho dinero. Y ellos lo hacían sin conocer a profundidad, o para mi caso particular, la ley Nacional de Inmigración, y queriendo darle a la petición un carácter de inferioridad en comparación s las demás peticiones de cubanos. Y otros abogados me decían que debía esperar 5 años porque así lo decía USCIS, porque así lo decía esa agencia del gobierno. Pero Maureen sabía que no debía ser así porque tenía conocimientos profundos acerca de la ley y de mi caso en particular. Fue así como ella me ayudó, y, por si fuera poco, me ayudó también con el pago necesario para llevar adelante la representación de mi petición. En resumen: Maureen defendió mis intereses como si fueran los de ella, y además lo hizo en el entendido de que se trataba de un inmigrante sin muchos recursos financieros y sin familia en Estados Unidos. Por todo esto: el inmenso agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda hacia Usted. Muchas gracias! Ojalá los pobres podamos seguir contando Usted!

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.

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.
