We are first time home buyer and looking for attorney to process Attorney Review in short time so that we can secure the house. We tried couple of attorneys. But, they are taking long time to start the process. Then, my friend referred Pragati Dubal to us and she was very attentive and started AR process for house within hours and we are able to get hold on the house. From the beginning of the process till closing, she was very much involved in the process by paying attention to minute details and used to advise us time to time well in advance about the correct process and things to be done. In one word, I can tell that her devotion to work, paying attention to clients needs, discipline and ethics in the approach helping the people like me to able to achieve our goals successfully. I wish her success in her profession and strongly recommend for all the persons who is looking for a capable, knowledgeable, reachable attorney.

Pragati helped us with a purchase of a mixed use property. She performed an outstanding job as an attorney representing us as buyers for a bankrupt property. She was a quick response and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I would seek her help again for my next real estate transaction.

Pragati Parikh is an outstanding and excellent Real Estate Attorney!! She provided excellent services, suggestions and support for us throughout the process. We are first time home buyers, had no clue on how the real estate law/legal services work for closing a house! She thoroughly explained every step of the process from contract to closing so there would be no surprises, which I very much appreciated as a first-time home buyer! When I called law office of Pragati, she was very warm and efficient and quickly started working on my documents. Her communication was excellent throughout the process. She was always very easily accessible via emails, text messages and calls to communicate and respond to my concerns which made the process smoother. I Highly recommend Pragati Parikh!

Needed help with gaining US citizenship. After reading some reviews my husband and myself went in to Alberto Brothers firm. Roderick answered every question we had, walked us through every step of the process and presented us with different payment options. After hiring them they stayed in contact with us, I called for additional questions a couple of times as well. They helped me prepare for the test, even gave me a practice meeting days before the offical one. Throughout this process there staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend this firm and would definitely use them again.

The Alberto Brothers helped us in the purchase our first house. Rodney was diligent in making sure we had the best representation and received the best deal. Most importantly, he made sure that we understood each step of the process and took the time to explain it thoroughly before proceeding. We will recommend anyone we know to the Alberto Brothers for their real estate needs.

Mr. Gurnani and his staff were very courteous and helpful in preparing the petition and responding to RFE. Easily accessible to discuss questions or concerns and always have a mitigation plan during contingencies. Mr. Gurnani has tremendous knowledge and expertise in Immigration Laws. He would be my first go person for our family immigration needs and I definitely recommend his services. Last but not least, he has an excellent paralegal team which is a highly responsive and quick turnaround.

As a foreigner who just accomplished study in the US and recently started a new job, I was very lucky to have Mr Won to help with applications for green card. He was very detailed and will look into each information I provided very cautiously. Mr Won also replies very fast on his emails, keeping tracking of every movement USCIS have and will notify me in no time. For whom who needs help with green card application, I would definitely recommend him.

Ron was a true expert in being able to "un-do" a multitude of my legal missteps from over 20 years ago! He removed convictions and vacated other pleas that were not in my best interest. Moreover, he was expedient in what he did. Because immigration cases are a time-sensitive. My family and I could not be happier with the representation that Mr. Mondello provided! He was , to coin a phrase, worth every dollar. My immigration matter was serious, non-violent, but serious and he made it all go away.

First of all ,I never write reviews but for this I have to….IF YOU NEED AN IMMIGRATIONATTORNEY BOOK DESMOND DAWUNI NOW. DO NOT HESITATE!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! With Desmond's help, I have been able to extend my permanent residency card periodically until my petition was recently approved. To tell you a little bit about my case: I met Desmond at a time when the process for my residency documentation had gone off track due to a variety of circumstances. He prioritized the maintenance of my legal status while petition was pending and ensured that I was being treated fairly. It’s been 8 long years in the process, and I cannot explain it enough how resilient he has been through the entire process. Desmond has been extremely empathetic to my personal situation and always thought ahead to ask potential issues so we could preempt and avoid them. During my interview, I was told that my case was unique and honestly the officer seemed very confused on what to do next. Before that, Desmond took the time to explain things to me, had several contingency plans and ensured I was very well-prepped for my interview, so I went there with confidence. The bonus was I had the option of having him present with me at the interview which gave me even more confidence. My case was a lot of work in many ways, and I can say with a doubt, he went above and beyond with the time he has dedicated to working with me. Finally, my petition has been approved….Yayyyy we did it!!! God really puts people in our lives for a reason and I am thankful Desmond was one of them. He is also very professional, affordable and knowledgeable in his work. I highly recommend Desmond because he will advocate for you!! Giving him 5 stars is truly an understatement. Thank you so much Desmond! You are really the best!

Not enough can be said about Mr. Carter’s professionalism both in and out of the courtroom or in this case virtual court room. If you ever find yourself coming out of an extremely toxic relationship and end up in a bogus domestic violence situation do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Carter first. The staff at Hoffman Dimuzio is very friendly and caring. Mr. Carter himself went above and beyond for me and the unfortunate situation I was put in to make sure everything was dismissed. Before and after every trial he would call to touch base or recap and was prompt with answering questions and proving advice. I came in needing a lawyer and left with someone who felt like a friend or family member. His understanding of the laws and your needs exceeded my expectations. He cares, he listens and takes action when needed. I hope to never need his services again but would not hesitate to use Mr. Carter if I ever did. Thank you Mr. Carter for everything.

We all 3 of us including me, my wife and son hired the services of Neil Dornbaum for becoming Citizens of the United States. Neil and one of his team members – Marial Velasquez provided us with all services including collecting the information to fill out the form, submitting, and tracking the status of the application including date of Interviews and the Oath of Allegiance. They also provided timely communications with the updated information, guidance, and the material for preparation for Naturalization process prior to each stage and the milestones to successfully cross over. Today, we took the Oath of Allegiance and me and my family are now the citizens of the proud United States in just 7 months after we applied for Citizenship and Naturalization process. The Neil and his office staff’s full control over the documentation requirements, compliant filling of the application forms with no room for RFEs, directions to prepare for both Interviews and Oath of Allegiance, tracking and communicating each and every step during immigration processes and timely status updates were all commendable, and exceeded our expectations. I strongly recommend to all those who are aspiring to immigrate to USA as permanent residents or citizens to reach out and avail the services from Neil Dornbaum, who is the assurance for you and your family as a trustworthy Lawyer and will strive his best to make y’our dreams come true.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Law Offices of Rosemarie Arnold on a personal injury case involving a car accident, and I can’t speak highly enough about my experience. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, the professionalism and dedication of the team made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. Lauren, my paralegal, was an absolute gem. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable and efficient but also super responsive to all my questions and concerns. No matter how small my issue, Lauren was always there to provide clarity and support. Her attention to detail and commitment to my case made all the difference! I also want to give a huge shoutout to my attorney, Nova. From the very beginning, Nova took the time to explain the process in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. Her expertise and strategic approach were evident, and I knew I was in good hands. Nova’s dedication to my case and her ability to advocate for my best interests truly set her apart. Overall, I can’t recommend the Law Offices of Rosemarie Arnold enough. They made a challenging experience manageable, and I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and support. Thank you, Lauren and Nova, for everything! --------- Recientemente tuve el placer de trabajar con la oficina de abogados de Rosemarie Arnold en un caso de lesiones personales relacionado con un accidente de coche, y no puedo hablar lo suficientemente bien de mi experiencia. Desde la consulta inicial hasta la resolución final, el profesionalismo y la dedicación del equipo hicieron que una situación difícil fuera mucho más fácil de manejar. Lauren, mi asistente legal, fue una verdadera joya. No solo era increíblemente competente y eficiente, sino que también fue muy receptiva a todas mis preguntas e inquietudes. No importaba cuán pequeña fuera mi duda, Lauren siempre estaba allí para ofrecerme claridad y apoyo. ¡Su atención al detalle y compromiso con mi caso marcaron la diferencia! También quiero darle un gran reconocimiento a mi abogada, Nova. Desde el principio, Nova se tomó el tiempo de explicarme el proceso de una manera que me hizo sentir cómodo e informado. Su experiencia y enfoque estratégico eran evidentes, y sabía que estaba en buenas manos. La dedicación de Nova a mi caso y su capacidad para abogar por mis mejores intereses realmente la distinguieron. En general, no puedo recomendar lo suficiente a la oficina de abogados de Rosemarie Arnold.

Back in 2018 I had an open case, and he was like a blessing! We fell in love with him instantly! And most importantly he took care of our issue in family court! Snd then for no extra cost he took care of ANOTHER completely unrelated issue for me in court! I would recommend him for family and both civil court! My family and I do believe he was a blessing from god! Thanks Mr. Thompson you’d be happy to know my son is now 26 months! And I have a 10 month daughter now! And never had another day in court since!!

Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team are excellent! At first I was second guessing myself about hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket, but after speaking with one of his staff members I was given appropriate information on what they do. They will do everything they can to get the very best outcome. They will keep you updated on your case by calling or emailing you with any information they have. They offer a reasonable price. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team to help you get your ticket dismissed!

I needed to find an experienced immigration attorney and was contacting different lawyers. Unfortunately their consultations were not informative at all and were even controversial. I was very disappointed. Luckily, one of my friends told me about Alexander Dranov. I was impressed during my consultation with him. He was so knowledgeable, so patient. He spent almost two hours discussing with me my case, explaining to me everything in details. When I left his office I was feeling I knew everything I needed to proceed with my case. If I will need a lawyer's help or consultation in future, I know who to call. And I am referring Mr. Alexander Dranov to all my friends.

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

Attorney Bryan Perez the best attorney I have ever met,Not just an attorney but is individual as well Great personality very easy to communicate he’ll listen to you . As for my case I can write a book and it would not be enough for me to explain it. I have hired Number of attorneys most of them if not all of them Looked at me like an ATM machine I have spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for over 24 years I started seeing Mr. Perez about five years ago for almost 3 1/2 years I saw him every six months, During that time he didn’t feel That my case was strong enough And during that time I was very convinced mr. Perez was the right attorney . As he didn’t see me as an ATM machine to charge me like all the rest of them did with all the lies and excuses this that trust me I went through some really hard times but at the end I’m glad that I hired Mr. Perez I am so so lucky that I was referred to him . Finally about two years ago he saw opertunity a chance for me and asked me what I think .knowing him for the past few years I trusted his judgment with all my heart and it turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life time being in this country for over 24 years without any papers no driver license Not able to go anywhere not able to see your family for number of years To me this is priceless I would have given anything ,But mr. Perez told me this are my fees and there is nothing extra you need to pay simple as that . So I highly recommend Perez Perez and Perez immigration attorneys office. To me there are no words or nothing I can do to thank him enough so from the bottom of my heart I wish him and his family blessings of a life time .

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Shervin Abachi! I initially applied for an O-1 visa with another attorney, which resulted in an RFE and ultimately a denial. Shervin not only turned my case around but also secured an approval—without even receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE). Shervin’s responsiveness and commitment are truly remarkable. He always got back to me promptly, answered every question with clarity and patience, and made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. His professionalism, respect, and determination to deliver the best results truly set him apart. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication, and I now recommend him enthusiastically to all my friends.

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mahsa and Diaspora Law Services throughout our immigration journey, which included the I-130 and I-485 process, as well as my wife's TPS and other legal proceedings. From start to finish, the entire process took four years, culminating in my wife receiving her I-485 approval and green card. Despite the lengthy and complex nature of our case, Mahsa made the process stress-free. She kept us well-informed and prepared for each step along the way, ensuring that we understood what to expect and how to handle each phase of the process. Her dedication and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and her clear communication provided us with much-needed peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for Mahsa's expertise and support, which were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.

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.
