After going through car repossession and foreclosure in 2020, my credit score dropped to Equifax: 509, TransUnion: 501. All attempts to get my credit back to a good rating didn’t yield positive results. Just last month while I was browsing a credit blog, I came across a comment by Laura on how she got her credit fixed by PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Immediately, I reached out to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and asked if he could help fix my credit score too. He responded positively and I had to subscribe to his services. On checking my credit report after 6 days, my score had skyrocketed to Equifax: 806, TransUnion: 811. I also noticed that the car repossession, foreclosure, hard inquiries, and late payments on my credit report have been removed. What an awesome service! Here’s his contact info if you need his services; EMAIL:

Easy to talk to him through the phone or in person he truly cares about his clients. Un abogado excelente ayuda mucho a la comunidad hispana muy fácil comunicarse con el nos ayuda mucho cuando tenemos preguntas y siempre hace todo en un proceso rápido.

We contacted Austin, who was recommended to us, to see about hiring him for my husband's petition to receive his permanent residency card (green card). Austin was willing to meet with us on a Saturday morning, which was really impressive. He really listened to us to understand our situation. This initial meeting made us confident to hire him. We had a tight schedule to submit the petition and related materials, but Austin was aware of the deadline and got back to our questions in a timely manner. He was also great at explaining everything in a clear and concise way so that we would be as knowledgeable as possible. He went over the final petition with us, and it was very organized and professional. I am confident that this was a main reason that the petition was processed quickly, and my husband's visa interview was scheduled for less than four months from when the petition was received. Austin encouraged us to have a mock interview with him, which proved very helpful. Many things he drilled with us were brought up in the actual interview. Austin accompanied us to the interview, and both my husband and I felt confident and comfortable during the interview because of Austin's help. In just over a week, my husband received his permanent resident card. We are very grateful for Austin's help, and highly recommend him as a competent and trustworthy lawyer who is willing to listen to his clients.

I hired Tricia after we were having some issues with my case. She went beyond what was expected. I put the deposit down and she kept a log on the time she spent working on the case. She sent me a check for the rest of the deposit that she didn't use. She gave me some tasks and got me in touch with congress members that gave me some more insight. Now everything is smooth sailing. If you want a GOOD and honest lawyer, hire Floyd Nielsen. If it wasn't for Tricia, we would be in the dark hole of NVC.

I want to sincerely thank Daniel for his help in our litigation after my car accident. From the moment I contacted him, I knew this would be a difficult journey. It really wasn't something that I wanted to do, but it was apparent that the nature of the process wasn't about making things right for me and my circumstances. Throughout all of this, he was kind, and supportive, forthright and operated with integrity. All of this helped me to remain focused on achieving the most reasonable outcome possible. As we often discussed, "fair and just" aren't always synonymous with the end results, but I do know that his efforts made a meaningful difference in my outcome and I have no regrets. I am positive the financial outcome would not have been as generous had he not been there to guide and assist me through this process. I have heard from many others who barely had their bills covered by the other driver's insurance after an accident and I at least now have some means to pursue further treatments and a few minor renovations to make our home a little more accessible for me. Changes that I might not have been able to do as conveniently without the settlement Daniel helped me obtain.

I truly appreciated her sincerity, professionalism, and expertise, which were deciding factors to initiate a working relationship with Ms. Brost.

I hired Mr. Benzoni in a very complicated case. We were newly weds with my husband and he faced problems with immigration before I could even submit a I-130 application. Mr. Benzoni was very straight forward and told us the process from the consultation day. I loved the fact he is not the type of lawyer who will say everything will be fine, he tells you the bad things and risks very clear from day one. My husband did go back for 1 1/2 years to MX just like Mr. Benzoni had said. He was approved to re-enter to US and 3 years have passed, my husband is a US citizen now. All started with the knowledge and dedication of Mr. Benzoni and his assistant. I totally recommend him to friends and family because he is honest and hard working lawyer.

We are trying to get the courts to re-open it so we can have a chance to keep our family together. I have faith in Mr. Benzoni to do the right thing as he has shown himself to be a capable, intellegent man. He has won many difficult cases in the past for grateful clients, and I believe he is going to continue to work on finding answers. He isn't the kind of man that gives up and gives in. He will continue to work hard and we will get a fair outcome, which doesn't come easily these days.

Very unorganized. Bad communication. Disappointed in the whole process and how it was handled. Tony in particular, would not even respond back to me on the very few emails or questions that I had. I feel that if you have a question about billing, somebody needs to at least give you the courtesy of responding back in a timely manner. Apparently, it’s just an option if they wanna do it or not. Incredible.

Very long and redundant process.. we dealt with multiple people on many of the same things and provided many of the same documents over and over. They billed us an additional $600 because apparently we didn’t have enough information. We provided them the first time and a certain area.. pretty sure that’s what we pay them for is to know exactly what is needed and how much of what is required. This process seems to be never ending and there seems to be no finish line in sight. Overall disappointed. Communication is not a strong point either as I have only asked a handful of questions throughout the process that I expected a response to in a timely manner and my last question has gone unanswered regarding why they didn’t know how much documentation we needed for the $600 extra fee. Must be nice to be able to bill people without providing anybody any type of answer or clarification on why.

I had an exceptional experience with Causey and Ye Law during my EB2-NIW application process. After facing delays of over a year with a previous lawyer in Ames, I decided to restart my case with Causey and Ye Law in April. From the outset, my attorney, Ye, was incredibly supportive and instrumental in guiding me through the process. Along with client manager Wendy, the entire team provided outstanding dedication and thorough attention to detail, which greatly strengthened my case and ensured a seamless process. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, my case was approved by September, and I promptly received my priority date following submission. I highly recommend Causey and Ye Law for anyone in need of efficient, professional legal representation. Their exceptional service and unwavering support made all the difference in the success of my application.

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.
