Our lawyer has been outstanding. Ms Anita always there for us, incredibly knowledgeable, and quick to respond. My family deeply appreciates her unwavering support and expertise. She has been especially helpful to my parents, who do not speak English, ensuring their needs were fully understood and addressed despite the language barrier. We highly recommend her.

Hiring a Lawyer for any legal matters is always hard to find. After sitting with 2 different lawyers my answers were not answered or given the best option to petition my wife for legal documents. But thank God i was bless to find Lawyer Diego Alejandro Gomez. His firm is reliable, honest and always took the time to answer any questions i had. First meeting i had with Lawyer Diego, two things stood out very clear. 1. He was positive with my case and 2. He was clear with the process. I was never alone in this process, DAG Law Group helped me from beginning to end. The time he said my wife would come to USA was on time. My wife and i want to express our gratitude for the outstanding service they provided. I highly recommend DAW Law Group to anyone who’s seeking a trustworthy law firm for any immigration case.

After originally consulting with Jeffrey in 2017 and beginning my immigration journey to the US with him, Jeffrey was clearly knowledgeable and well versed in immigration law. I always enjoyed working with him and the members of his offices over the years and appreciated their clear checklists of what I needed to provide during the process. They made an overwhelming task feel much more simple and I was successful in obtaining my work permit and Green card within about 13-14 months of initially speaking with him in Florida, at his office.
It was easy to renew my relationship again with his office in 2020, when they reached out to me as a courteous reminder of my status at the time. During what was already a stressful year, Jeffrey and his office made it easy to do the process virtually while I was also living in New York. I was so grateful that I was able to continue the relationship with him during this time as it made the process much less difficult. There were some stressful moments working with USCIS and scheduling appointments, however, I appreciated the support I had from the paralegals I was also working with at the time to help with getting through those challenges.
I have since recently consulted with Jeffrey again about my current and future status in the US and look forward to working with him again in the future. It feels like working with an old friend after consulting with Jeffrey and his office for the past 7 years and I am grateful for finding them in the first place. Thanks!

Im 17 and was caught speeding. Mr. Llerena made it so easy to go through the entire legal process. He was always available when I had questions, and when I first spoke with him he gave me a long, detailed, and much appreciated lesson on the dangers of speeding given my age. Thanks to his assistance, my case was dismissed. I would gladly hire him again and I always recommend him to people with similar issues. He is by far the best attorney that my family has ever dealt with. Thank you!

We sincerely want to thank God Almighty for this successful journey. But thanks to Devika Moonasar for the professionality in the way our case was been handled. She is the best Attorney anyone can use for immigration case. We appreciate Devika for this outstanding result in 6 months after submission. She did a tremendous job reassuring us through the process, that we were confident of a positive outcome even without meeting her in person. The first time my husband spoke to her, he knew she was the right person for us. We will recommend her to anyone 100%. The experience has been 5 star all the way. She is truly a professional. Thank you Devika.

Mrs. D'Alo was soft spoken, prepared, precise and to the point. This was an extremely emotional case, a bitter break-up, and a dog used as a pawn to win the other back. Mrs. D'Alo lead with the facts of the case, the rights of her client, all the while being played by a con artist, the defendant. After she won a temporary judgement for the me, the victory was never followed through on the defendants side. She calmed and encouraged me, even though i was grieving the lost of my support dog to just let her handle the case and justice will prevail. Mrs. D"Alo, asked exact questions needed for the case, while getting to know me. She didn't scare, she fought with know facts, honesty, and her better judgment. I fell apart many a times, as the waiting game was extremely scary and difficult, but my lawyer looked me in the eyes and said were here to win this, and the law is behind us, she made what seem like forever to me, needed in order for us to win and not come back here again. Mrs. D'Alo, won the case for me and my dog, and also won me a peace of mind that i will never be frighten to lose him ever again. Mrs. D'Alo was very compassionate and dedicated to my case.

I recently hired Carol to represent me in a personal bankruptcy involving corporate debts as well. She was recommended highly by other attorneys I've used. Carol is a fantastic attorney, efficient, responsive and most of all didn't take advantage of me as most Attorneys typically do. She was very fair and put me at ease at a stressful time. Best part, I didn't owe any money in the end and got to keep my equity in my home. Thanks Carol!

Unheard of!!! I highly recommend her firm.

I hired Rachel Rodriguez some time ago to handle my brother's immigration case. I must admit that prior to hiring Rachel, my experience with immigration attorneys had been less than satisfactory.

Rachel Rodriguez is one of such attorneys. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

Rachel is a pleasure to work with and does excellent work! Rachel wrote a customer agreement for my technology start-up. We have a non-traditional business model. Rachel listened attentively as I described the business flow in significant detail, asked probing questions and produced a document that required few revisions and was very well written. In addition, Rachel researched and accounted for legal issues that are applicable yet we failed to consider. I am a lawyer and I recommend Rachel highly.

I was led to secure the services of the Levers Law Firm because of the attorney's straightforwardness with advising me , and his adept knowledge ( the only attorney after contacting two others) re: my situation. He had sound knowledge of the situation and the steps to be taken .To make it even better ; Ms. Katiana ( Paralegal) is off the chain great. She was very kind, courteous , patient , thorough , and knowledgeble. One thing that stood out the most for me about her was that before , during , and after she affirmed everything with God being at the head of things . I could not have dealt with a more conscientious person . I would recommend everyone to this firm , and also to seek the assistance of Ms. Katiana , they don't always come like that. I am pleased so far , and I am wearing a smile for the successes gained . 10 more stars.

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.

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.
