Karen and KB Law Firm did a fantastic job for my immigration journey. The office is very friendly and welcoming to all your immigration problems. Super competent staff, excellent and knowledgeable. The office prepared me well for my interviews before the court hearing, and I might say it was very interesting and informative. I prepared myself well knowing the journey ahead and my future endeavors. The office documented all the evidence before the judge and the government lawyer, which Karen told me I shouldn’t have had any interview again, but the judge and government lawyer wanted to hear a little information from me, which was okay. Karen Bryan's closing arguments before the judge were very insightful and beautiful, which made the government lawyer withdraw her impeachment proceedings against me. Finally, Heaven came to visit me for the good job done by KB Law PLLC.

I started working with Misti around 2019 when she agreed to take on my case. I had been turned down by about 6 attorneys who told me that my case was not easy. I was super delighted when Misti agreed to assist me adjust my permanent status. Misti was straight forward, but also empathetic and caring. I would also like to thank Mikaela for her support and expertise. The journey/process was not easy but Misti and her staff were very professional and focused on the mission. Through countless meetings, calls, emails and correspondence, her and her staff were always on top of things. I would especially like to thank Jacqueline Aleman who I worked with closely to provide mountains of documents needed for evidence. She made sure that all the documents were perfect without mistakes before they were submitted. She would always call or text, and was very patient with me as frustrating the process was. I highly recommend Binsfeld Law Firm to anyone looking for immigration services. I will forever be grateful to Misti and her staff for walking with me on this almost 5yr journey. Thank You, and God Bless You All!

I have known Mr. Herbert since 1999. He took care of my brother’s case in which he was to be deported within 72 hours, but God used him to turn my brother’s case to be approved and I have recommended his law firm a lot of times and no one has told me that they took their money without winning the case. All of the times Mr. Herbert wins the case by the grace of God. And in my own case—a very difficult case—it took several years dealing with the USCIS and Immigration Court but through the hard work of Igbanugo law firm God used them to now get approval and to get my citizenship also. It is one of the most excellent law firms I will recommend for the whole world, anyone who has immigration problems in the U.S. I want to say a big,big,big ‘thank you’ to Mr. Igbanugo and his team. You know what a great work you and your law firm have done. Indeed, it is marvelous. The Lord has led us and made everything so successful. I am so,so,so happy,and so pleased about what you and the Lord and your partner Jason Nilson accomplished for my family. Both of you put your heads together and God came in and made everything possible. And I and my family, friends—you know—we are so speechless, and I don’t know how to say thank you to you guys. And I am so appreciative of your team. It is my prayer that God will continue to protect your law firm. God will continue to use you to help people like me. May god come in and make you guys win more cases. Thank you, brother. Thank you so much. Thank you. God bless you. God bless all you guys. Your family. Your wives and your children. And for some you, your husbands. God bless you guys.

My family and I have been working with Herbert for over 20 years. Herbert and his firm oversaw my families immigration to the United States. He has been with us every step of the way, celebrating every milestone form achieving non-immigrant work visas, to permanent residence, and finally naturalization. Without Herbert's help and dedication I don't think we would be the US Citizens we are today. Herbert was first hired after by the company that sponsored me and after all company obligations were met, we retained Herbert as our lawyer based on his wonderful service to our family. Herbert, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of my family and to share with everyone your extreme dedication, professionalism, and work ethic on our behalf!

His law firm should be immensely proud to have such a distinguished lawyer on their team.

Malinda M. Schmiechen and her office did a great job throughout my asylum case, and I cannot express enough gratitude for their outstanding service. From the outset, Malinda M. Schmiechen demonstrated an impressive level of expertise in immigration law, providing me with clear guidance and insightful advice. Her attention to detail and thorough understanding of the complexities involved in my case were truly commendable. The entire office staff exhibited a high degree of professionalism. What sets Malinda M. Schmiechen apart is not only her legal proficiency but also her genuine compassion for her clients. She approached my case with empathy, making me feel supported and understood during what was undoubtedly a challenging period in my life. Ultimately, Malinda M. Schmiechen was able to win my case in immigration court, and am in Asylee status thanks to her. I wholeheartedly recommend Malinda M. Schmiechen and her office to anyone seeking legal representation in immigration matters. Their expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach make them a standout choice.

My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Jeff fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Priest Law firm is the place to start in the scary, emotional process of divorce. Highly recommended.”

I have hired her thru all my immigration process from my K1 visa to my recent green card removal of conditions. She pays attention to all details and requirements so that there would be no issue or mistake on my papers. She did a good job helping me with my removal of conditions because I had been divorced with my petitioner and that makes it difficult to process but thankfully Deborah is very knowledgeable about this issue and helped me get through it. I would definitely hire her again when I do immigration related stuff because I know she will help me get through it right with no problems.

I had Elaine as a lawyer for a quite bit time now working on my Asylum case. The experience we had from our case wasn't usual . It was very competitive, stressful for her and me , full of surprise and sometimes full of negative answers but most of all something new for me because it was my first case . Elaine was there when i needed her all the time on time.she even made me smile by her joke to make me comfortable. She is a pretty good , experimented, focus , loyal and the honest person i have never seen in my life since i am here. For that i am thankful to her and admire her sens of humanity because she put people first and not money first even if we all know she get paid for what she is working on. she is open, friendly , helpful , reliable , a hard worker but most of all she got a great heart . i will have a lot more to say but not enough space so i cut in the throat now .Just to say that she helped me stay in the usa while there were trouble in my country and left my parents and siblings home between threats, fear, violence even death. Today was my trial date and a miracle happened again due of all the support , her assistance as a lawyer and her extremely faith . I have been granted for 3 years of staying+ a employment authorization from the judge . I am very blessed to have her as a lawyer and recommend her . i remember she told me before we went to court to pray and made me prepare correctly so i won't be nervous, she believed in me i did believe in her too and God help us go through the storm . Now the storm is over. Thank you Elaine may God bless you more and your life . For all person out there who may need her help just know that this job as any job is not easy specially when you have people lives in your hand as a lawyer , a life to live by yourself with your obligations so you have to be thankful and do all you can to help the lawyer back since she helped you first ( I saw her hard working so i know)

Elaine helped us process a marriage green card case two years ago. When we met her for an initial consultation, we immediately noticed that she was very knowledgeable and experienced about the entire process. Her professionalism and courtesy was extended throughout the process and she treated our case as if it was her own. Even though she did not have to, she showed up to our court date and prepped us before the interview. She knew all of the tips to get the case processed quickly and efficiently. Elaine even called us two years after she handled our case to remind us to file paperwork to lift the condition on the green card! Elaine is a very responsive, professional, and reliable lawyer. I would definitely use her again and would recommend others to as well!!

Maria Miller was not phased by the case she was confident that she would do everything possible to work it out and provide the best outcome. My case had a criminal element that deterred other lawyers, but Maria took it on and not only got me the outcome we went for and more. She is professional, courteous and truly cares about the clients. Maria is a lawyer that i would recommend to everyone i know. And i am blessed to have her as my attorney. She is always there to assist and to to put you at ease about this rather confusing legal process. Thank you very much Maria Miller.

My husband and I were introduced to Martin Law through a family referral and as a result we met and began working with Maria Miller (Trafton). Our immigration case was incredibly complicated, and Maria was always willing to talk through our options. Going it alone was not a possibility, and my husband and I were grateful to have Maria help guide us. With different angles to consider, and because I’m an individual that likes to understand things step by step, Maria was always willing to break things down for us. Because our case was so complex, it was easy to feel overwhelmed. However, following many different hurdles and law changes, and nearly 5 years of waiting, my husband now has his US permanent residency. Maria was essential in gaining this. She encouraged us to have patience and empathized with us when things were at a standstill. She was thorough through each petition or waiver. She read each statement and gave ideas of how to make it better. She was willing to go the extra mile. Beyond this, she is responsive, very responsive. If I had a question, I knew I could ask her and get my answer. Knowing we had her in on our side gave us both peace of mind. As mentioned, our case was complicated and required incredible attention to detail, and Maria never missed a beat. During and since the end of our lengthy immigration process, we’ve referred friends and family to Maria, and we’ll continue to do so. The immigration system can at times resemble a maze and having Maria navigate as your lawyer will be to your advantage. We highly recommend Maria Miller for your immigration needs.

Jeff and his team were very good about keeping me informed about the naturilization process and preparing me for the interview, but that's not what I hired them for. During the interview, Jeff objected to a very focal question and that helped me get an approval without a hassle.

It is hard to describe what a great lawyer Jeff is. Not only does he have a very strong command of immigration law, but he is also an all-around great person and a true joy to work with. He is very passionate about helping his clients and it shows. He will go above and beyond to help you and he'll make sure that you fully understand the process and he will answer any question that you might have and he leaves no stone unturned in his effort to guarantee the best outcome for your case. His pricing is very reasonable and you can tell that he is not doing this for the money because I talked to other lawyers before hiring him and his pricing was much more affordable. When you work with him you'll quickly realize that his first priority is solving your case and NOT charging you. We had a very complex immigration case. I would say something that most immigration lawyers do not see very often. Jeff took it on and did a ton of research and reviewed other cases to find precedence and it took a few years (mainly because of how backed up the immigration court in my district was) but eventually we got the best possible outcome and as of last week, I became a US citizen, thanks to Jeff's diligence and expertise. Thank you Jeff! We are forever grateful for your help.

Thank you to Robert and his team for helping me win this claim. It took some time but it was well worth it. What I love best about Mr. Correia is that he’s very knowledgeable in the process of it all and walked me through all the steps. Not only that, his genuine concern about the welfare of me and my family. That was the icing on the cake. The rest of the team was amazing and willing to help and answer any questions I may have. Mr. Correia and team has one of the services I never wanna see again (due to the nature of the occupation) but if I need them they are the first people I’m going to call. Thank you for all your hard work and helping me settle on something that’s gonna help me and my family

I don’t know how to start this review without feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for this law firm - more specifically Ashwin, Zane & Ashley - The Power Trio! My case took a total of 4 years and 4 months from start to finish and let me tell you… it was a very long process. Especially when my case was initiated when the entire world was shut down. Initially, I didn’t think anything was happening and communication was limited. But when I realized that they are one attorney to me and I am one of many clients to them - I learned to trust the process and learned PATIENCE. This team is meticulous, and when you feel like nothing is moving forward - trust me - it is!! Zane is so detailed and thorough with all of his filings, he makes sure that every single “i” is dotted and every single “t” is crossed. They leave no room for errors. Then there’s Ashley, she is THE sweetest lady that you will ever have the pleasure of dealing with. She is empathetic, and reassuring and knows no strangers as she treats you like a long lost family member!! Then there’s Ashwin, as a former US Marine, you will sleep well knowing that he’s fighting for your best interests. Together, these three individuals worked their butts off to represent me against TRUE GIANTS and WE WON! You will not be disappointed by choosing Madia Law as your attorney’s.

I had a one hour consultation with Obi Chukwu to have him review a joint petition for divorce that my wife and I had drafted. He had a lot of great suggestions as to how I could improve the language in the joint petition. He knew that this would be a one-time session, but he was committed to making sure that all my questions got answered to the best of his ability, even though that meant going 15 minutes over the scheduled time. To Obi Chukwu, I was more than a client; I was a human being. If I ever need a lawyer again in the future, Obi Chukwu is going to be the first person I turn to.

Boy, what a difference! I had to e-mail my PREVIOUS lawyer, call him, and wait at his whim. He was good enough for my case. My wife petitioned me and I got my 2-year green card. But no way was I going for the 10-year one with him! In stark contrast, MATT was proactive and diligent since day one. It was MATT who e-mailed me and called me to remind me of next steps! Mine was a complex case. I travel quite a bit (13 trips, 7 countries, and 307 days abroad at the writing of this review). Timing was everything. I had to be in the US do or die when summoned. MATT monitored all this. Not only was he a resourceful lawyer but a partner. We were able to time everything right. Immigration said I was getting my 10-year green card before a long trip to Mexico and Peru. But immigration messed up in the delivery! The card was sent back to them! I had to leave with the 2-year card expiring when I was abroad. Imagine showing up at the Miami Airport with an expired card!!!!!!! Well, MATT solved it and FedExed my card to México! So guess… who am I doing my citizenship with? Not just with an immigration lawyer but MY immigration PARTNER! Also, though very knowledgeable he would get peer advice when needed…. and charged me about half as much as my previous lawyer…

It had been a pleasant experience working with Matt Anderson in getting the green cards for my family. Though we faced many uncertainties, we will always assure that we can receive the best advice in the application process. His knowledge and expertise were clearly demonstrated, and all matters were attended to promptly. When my wife’s application faced some issues, it was handled with great care and concern. Her green cards were approved just before the deadline. I strongly recommend Matt for his friendly professional service.

Working with Matt Anderson for gettng our green cards was a very pleasant and smooth experience. He was most helpful and knowledgeable. He has a very professional approach with a personal touch. Right through the process, we felt confident and assured that we were working with the best. He was very prompt in answering our queries and every question was answered in detail. In our case we had some anxiety over our daughter turning 21 during the process. But Matt put in a lot of extra effort to make sure that she was included in our application. We are very, very appreciate of his help and professional input. Our green cards were approved and received in just six months. We would strongly recommend Matthew Anderson to anyone, any time.

I recommend Cassondre as a knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and hardworking attorney. I know first-hand that Cassondre and the staff at Wilson Law Group are extremely knowledgeable about the legal work they do. She helped my husband get his residency and after a little over two years he has his green card! Our family went through a difficult time while my husband spent an entire year in Mexico waiting for his residency. While he was in Mexico, she did her best to have him back as soon as possible. She walked us through the entire process and assured that she would do her best to help obtain his residency. She didn’t make any promises, but everything occurred as she said. We were able to visit his family after 9 years in the US. Visiting my husband’s family in Mexico was such a happy moment for us! I am very happy that my family will stay together. I will always be thankful for her help. Cassondre has a big heart and really shows her passion for the work that she does. Thank you Cassondre!

Cassondre is very professional, personable and an expert in Immigration matters. Before we hired her, we were able to meet with her and ask any questions we had free of charge.

The entire time Cassondre and our legal assistant Maricruz were on top of everything that needed to be done and proactive in updating us on the status of our case.

I cannot recommend Caroline and her office more highly. My spouse and I worked with her for both my green card application and my US Citizenship application (both successful!). From our first meeting with Caroline, we knew she was going to be able to help us. She answered all of our many questions and explained our options and next steps in clear, calm, and understandable terms. Throughout the (very complex and often changing) immigration application processes, Caroline and her office were diligent and responsive in helping us get all of our documentation together and helping us file our application. She also kept us updated on all the rapid-fire changes coming through the immigration system, made sure we understood how they could impact our case, and helped us make decisions about how to respond. I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough; immigration processes are incredibly complicated and stressful, and knowing that someone like Caroline is handling your case is beyond reassuring. My spouse and I have greatly enjoyed working with her, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent immigration lawyer.

I discovered Caroline Ostrom through a Google search when seeking guidance for my complex immigration situation. Her firm, Ostrom Law, expertly handled my EB1-B petition (following a previously approved one with a different employer) and managed the subsequent (me and my wife's) I-485 petitions, including EAD and Advanced Parole applications. During this process, I encountered several complications with maintaining my H1B status, including an RFE and a limited validity notice - matters outside the scope of my contract with Ostrom Law. Despite not being involved in my H1B process, Caroline consistently offered valuable advice whenever I sought her guidance. While the immigration system's intricacies make absolute certainty impossible, Caroline and her team's exceptional professionalism inspired complete confidence throughout the process. Their expertise ultimately led to the successful approval of my applications. I wholeheartedly recommend Caroline and her team to anyone navigating the green card process.

Working with R. Breitman on my case for over 10 years period I become very familiar with my attorney and his staff. He also helped all of my close friends in last 15 years. Combining his experience and knowledge of " the system" with organization skills and tech savvy of young paralegals works miracles - as I experienced by myself. Also helps that their office is in the same building as Immigration Service - makes them "insiders" of " the court" - they know most of INS employees in person. I would highly recommend R. Breitman to anyone seeking Immigration and Naturalization representation.

When I called looking for lawyers for my criminal case, no one seemed to want to listen to my side. They quoted me very high prices and didn't seem to care about what happened in my case. Being charged with a crime for the first time is terrifying. When I spoke with Sarah, she listened and asked questions. I instantly felt reassured that I was going to be okay. Not only did Sarah listen to my side of the story, but she used what I told her to write a motion to get the case dismissed and the case got dismissed. I was blown away by her performance.

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.
