As I searched online for a reliable attorney. I ran across J & J Law Firm, P.A. After my consultation with him, one of the determining factors that persuaded me to secure his firm was he shared with me that his purpose and drive for going into the law practice of immigration was the fact that he himself was an immigrant, and he wanted to use his education, knowledge, and experiences to give back and provide assistance, help, guidance and support to what I have personally learned is a very complexed and tedious process
Working with Attorney K. V. Jairam and his team was a great experience. They are true rock stars—responsive, professional, and exceptionally organized. If I ever missed providing new information, they were quick to reach out, ensuring nothing was overlooked. They helped me get my case dismissed, which I had been dealing with for a long time.
So, if you have some knowledge of the immigration process or absolutely none at all, you definitely will not go wrong with selecting J & J Law Firm, P.A.! For certain, J & J Law Firm, P.A. will be the law firm that my family will utilize for any and all of our immigration needs!
Thank you, attorney K. V. Jairam, and the entire team J & J Law Firm, P.A., thank you. Your dedication, expertise, and care have made a huge difference to us. We’re deeply grateful for everything you’ve done.

I had an excellent experience with them. Not only did I get the most favorable outcome I was hoping for, I felt at ease through the whole process. Everything was explained to me as we went along and all my questions were answered in a timely fashion. He gave me a price for the fee up front and nothing was added to it. I hope I never have to go through this again but if I do, I am coming back to J&J Law Firm.

Thank you Mc Kenzie for all you have done. She is driven, patient, kind, upfront and honest and aggressive where it’s needed which is in the court room on your behalf. You do not need a lawyer that’s scared of speaking on your behalf and she isn’t. I could not be more thankful for the communication and understanding that she gave me as well as the results in our case. Without her we wouldn’t have the outcome we have had, couldn’t be more thankful for all she’s done and her heart that she puts into this. She works very hard for people because she simply loves what she does and her clients. I will always be thankful for her. Thanks again for all your help, again you are amazing and I appreciate you! If you want a good lawyer, do yourself a favor and don’t look further.

Devika is an amazing person in general.. The way she cared for me, not only as a client, but as a woman wanting my independence, she made me feel so understood and comfortable talking to her. She answered all of my questions without making me feel any doubts. She reassured me anytime I had any doubts and was there for me at any time whenever I had any questions or if a new update happened she was always on time to update me… I would recommend Devika to anyone seeking professional help with immigration..

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.

Devika was a pleasure to work with. She made the process of filing so easy and was always available to answer any questions. My wife and I had no worries because we had Moonlaw offices providing us support and guidance at every step. Moreover, Devika is incredibly friendly and approachable, making it easy to ask any questions. She is fantastic and there could have been no one better to help us with this process! I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I’ve worked with a number of great immigration attorneys so far. Based on that experience, I must say Mrs. Delgado is definitely a super attorney. She is impressively knowledgeable and has years of experience along with a track record of success. She is able to handle the most complicated immigration cases. In addition to her fantastic qualifications, she is truly nice and caring as a human being, which are imperative qualities when it comes to immigration. She helped me a lot and therefore, I strongly recommend Jacqueline Delgado. Hire her and rest assured your immigration case will be taken care of in the best possible way.

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!

I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional representation provided by Mr. Devore. My case required the expertise of a knowledgeable and experienced attorney, and Mr. Devore handled this exceptionally well. He adeptly navigated challenges and system changes throughout the process and successfully handled the case in court and then with USCIS. From consultations to preparing the applications and being available to answer any questions I had, working closely with him and his office staff was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Devore to anyone facing immigration challenges.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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:

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.
