Price McNamara and his team were successful at getting my long-term disability benefits, reinstated after they were abruptly stopped. Getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness was terribly traumatic and left me unable to work. After receiving benefits for two years, my long-term disability company claimed I was no longer eligible for benefits. This was a low point for me. I didn’t feel comfortable fighting this by myself and I was referred to Mr. Price by another attorney. Mr. Price and his wonderful team kept me informed every step of the way. They answered every question I had and communication was prompt and accurate. I cannot recommend Mr. Price and his team enough If you need assistance with employer paid disability policies. Tim

She was very honest about my case from the start. She stayed truthful throughout the whole process and was always available when I had questions. Offered payment plans during very crucial times and they were very affordable. Her assistants is very kind and always went out of her way to explain everything throughly and make sure we got copies of every single document we could ever need.

I highly recommend Attorney Jesse Marchan for anyone navigating the immigration process. He has been incredibly patient and helpful with our application, ensuring that we fully understood every step. His attention to detail and willingness to address all our concerns have been invaluable. One thing we've learned is that it's worth investing in a quality attorney rather than trying to save on fees. Atty Jesse made sure everything was done right the first time, giving us peace of mind during a stressful process. We are truly grateful for his expertise and dedication!

Gostaria de expressar minha profunda gratidão à Doutora Natália, uma advogada excepcional que recomendo a todos os brasileiros enfrentando causas difíceis e até mesmo impossíveis. Ela me ajudou em situações que eu considerava sem solução, sempre encontrando uma saída dentro do que a lei permite. O caráter dela é admirável, e o mais impressionante é que ela realmente se importa. Em momentos de desespero, sinto que ela compartilha nossas dores e, muitas vezes, chora conosco. É essa empatia que a torna única. Minha experiência com a Doutora Natália foi simplesmente incrível. Ela não só ajudou a mim, mas também à minha família, em questões de imigração. Graças ao seu trabalho diligente, conseguimos resolver a situação do meu marido e tirar toda a nossa família da imigração. A disponibilidade dela, a qualquer hora do dia ou da noite, é algo raro e muito apreciado. Para mim, a nota que dou a ela é 1000! Se você precisa de assistência jurídica, não hesite em procurá-la. Ela é, sem dúvida, a melhor advogada que já conheci. Muito obrigado, Doutora Natália, por tudo o que fez por nós! --- Cremilsa Gonçalves

7 years ago a denial letter entered our lives. As you know, Immigration processes are complicated, and navigating them without legal counsel can put tremendous stress on a person. I researched Ware Immigration prior to making an appointment, and we soon met with Erin Hebert, truly one of the most brilliant minds I ever had the pleasure knowing. She was calm, reassuring and honest. Within half an hour we had a plan. Our plan unfortunately failed, so we implemented a new one, and worked through relentlessly through countless hurdles. Our last denial came as a shock, but again we had a plan. We knew that we had a great ally, and one that puts the Law above all. Happy to say, today my Husband received the Citizenship approval, and we owe a huge chunk of that to Erin. Erin knows Immigration Law better than anyone I have met. Thank you for being the voice of reason. God Bless The USA!

Last year I was visiting NOLA for my Birthday, I was so excited because I had never been before and spent a full week there and stayed in three different hotels on my visit, the third hotel in which I reside resulted in an unpleasant stay and an assault case. It was horrible. After checking out of the hotel I was on to San Antonio for my next destination, it wasn't until I got to my hotel there when I realzied I didnt have my other phone so I notifide the hotel that on my way going back to Orlando I will drive thru and pick up my phone, upon on returning three days later I went to the front desk told the associate my name, room number and the type and color of the phone, the asscoiate picked my phone up and begun to hand it over to me then asked me for my ID, my ID was in the car and I did have my passport on me but I didn't provide it to him because they already knew the phone belonged to me and just to honest I didnt want to give ID because I had already provided him with pertaninet information, the associate decided that he was going to smirk at me then grab for my phone so I rushed behind the counter to get it off the counter and he proceeded to stick it in his pocket so to make a long story short we got into a tassel over my property , there was no physcial attacking of any sorts as the witnness and the hotel staff had mentioned. The only reason why I wasn't arrested was because the police couldn't find any evidence that an attack had occurred so they wrote me a summons to fight it in court. This resulted in me needing to find a lawyer in the area to take on my case so I quickly did a search and came across Mr. McGregor and saw his reviews and contacted him in hopes that he could take on my case and get it thrown out, from our very first call I explained to him what had happened "he didn't rush to judgment, listened attentively, gave me a soulful response and some level of encouragement ." So I felt relieved that he took on my case for some reason. I felt like I was lead to him, not because of his profession but through the conversation we had early on, over the phone. He was fair. He was kind. He was accommodating throughout my case. Not only am I happy about the outcome of my case I'm very appreciative that he allowed me to make one medium size down payment, and the rest of my legal fees were paid in small installments which was much larger than the amounts in his contract. So thank you, Mr. McGregor, hopefully, one day when I return to NOLA I can meet you in person. And thank you again for reassuring and helping me put this all behind me, you are indeed a man of your word.

Over the years (H1, Green Card, Naturalization), I have been lucky to have David Ware (and other attorneys on his team including Kathleen Gasparian, Elaine Kimbrell, Samantha Hechtman and paralegals Julie Herzog and Yolanda Fortuné) guide me every step of the immigration process. I always felt that I was receiving the best advice at the right time, with the right level of communication, follow-up, and support as needed throughout the process. All that with a human touch.

I am an educator at the university level, a tenure track professor. I came in contact with this firm because my employer does business with them. And I am so glad that I did. They quite competently handled both my H1B and LPR throughout, with a successful result. The firm has an amazing team of attorneys, including Mr. Ware of course: immensely professional and knowledgeable, very responsive, and yet so easy to work with. I had to work with two paralegals, Ms. Herzog and Mr. Sui, both of whom were/are as much professionally competent and amiable. I have had some really good attorneys before. Here is why this firm is even better. a) They allow you to pay their fees stretching over a reasonable amount of time frame, in monthly installments, so you do not feel overly burdened. Plus, I also found that their fees are reasonable given the quality service they provide. b) No document goes to USCIS before multiple attorneys review it. Oversights and mistakes can happen even on a genius lawyer’s part. That risk gets reduced with multiple minds. I won't have to think even for a millisecond to recommend someone, who comes to my contact, to their office for legal help.

Janeane has to be the worst attorney. My wife used her for 5 years and she only got 1 thing accomplished in the divorce. Never filed any other motion for settlements even though she lied about she did. She will never call you back. Finally responded after 2 years of trying to reach her and then nothing again for several months. Hired a new attorney in November and this new art has done more in 2 months than Janeane did in 5 years. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere

I contacted Chris via email to help with an urgent immigration situation my wife and I were facing. Chris displayed empathy and a thoughtful approach to evaluating and recommending the appropriate course of action for our Immigration needs. He was able to come up with a plan to have my wife apply for an EB2-NIW as a quicker way to achieve our goal. He was always available to answer any questions we had during every step of the process and was also more hopeful about our chances of success than we initially did - considering some other attorney had a limited expectation for the success of my wife's NIW petition. One key trait I sought for in a lawyer was responsiveness, considering the horror stories I had heard from candidates who consulted other lawyers. I am glad I worked with Chris as he made himself available whenever he was needed and we got our petition approved in good time.

In a timely and professional manner, Andrew set things straight and I haven't heard from them since! Andrew was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and I would recommend him to anyone 1000xs again.

I was at the wrong place at the wrong time with a difficult case and it was very hard to prove the truth. I began to lose hope because many well-known lawyers were afraid to get down to business or were busy. The search continued until one distinguished lawyer gave me Chris number. From the very first meeting, I realized that he is not just doing his job, but really wants to help me! Profesianolism, aspirations, confidence and a kind heart is what Chris has!

I was in deportation process for seven years; my deportation/asylum court hearing was postponed several times. At this point, I contacted Chris. I told him my personal story- I was tortured in Syria and seeked asylum in the US. When I arrived in the US, I was detained for 48 days in Houston once I arrived. Chris was so moved by my experience, that offered to take my case for free! Chris gathered all the necessary documents from me and went through great efforts on my behalf. He looked up related events and updated my whole case. The night before my deportation/asylum hearing, we went over the entire folder as well as about 100 questions he had previously prepared. The hearing was initially estimated to last for about an hour by my previous Pro Bono attorney; in reality, the hearing lasted 3 hours. Chris asked me all the questions he had prepared to demonstrate the truth about my story. The prosecutor ended up having only a couple of questions; Chris interfered to explain her questions to me and make my answers more to the point and more helpful to my case. Chris had to undergo surgery a few days before the hearing and yet, he drove all the way to Houston, carried the entire 12 inch thick folder for about a 15 minutes walk, and didn’t tell me about this until the break in the middle of the hearing. His confidence before the hearing, as well as during, was unparalleled and impressive! He connected on a personal level and knew what to ask and how to tackle the case and he just did. Thanks to Chris, I am an asylee. I am not in immigration-status limbo anymore; I am able to thrive and continue my career as a pathologist in the US thanks to Chris. I am eternally thankful and grateful to him for his dedication, compassion, knowledge, and his kindness!

Jeremy has been with my immigration journey to the U.S. since 2007 and also those of my colleagues. He has handled various different type of visa filings for me - TN, H1B and L1A with efficiency. His attention to detail was thorough and advise and guidance was accurate. Although mine was not a routine case, through his guidance, I was able to acquire all the required documentation, affidavits etc. prior filing my AOS application and my Green Card was approved without any RFEs. I would recommend Jeremy Zollinger to any person who requires a trustworthy, knowledgeable and readily accessible attorney especially if their cases are out of the ordinary.

My very first contact with Mr. Zollinger was positive. I contacted his office after business hours, to confirm the number was accurate. To my surprise, Mr. Zollinger answered the phone. The first thing that came to mind was, "It's an hour after business hours, and he is still there working on cases." this immediately made me feel like his clients were of extreme importance to him. After talking to Mr. Zollinger for a few minutes, I explained my situation and listened to his advice. He was extremely professional and courteous. I live about 5 hours away from his office. However, I decided to make the trip to New Orleans and enlist the help of his office. Best decision I could have made! Once we met with Mr. Zollinger and discussed the specifics of the process and had a clear understanding of what could happen, we felt more than confident to do business with Mr. Zolinger. After completing the tasks Mr. Zollinger set for us, it only took approximately 3-4 weeks and our case was finished with the best outcome that we could have hoped for. We are extremely satisfied with the services rendered from Mr. Zollinger. His staff is courteous, and the whole process was as about painless as one could hope for. I 100% recommend Zollinger Immigration services. I will recommend anyone to whom I come in contact with, that has immigration concerns.

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.
