Strategic Immigration Advice. Handled With Care.

Immigration cases involve real people and real stakes. A missed deadline, an incomplete application, or a policy change can have consequences that last years. Our approach is the same as it is for every matter: direct communication, transparent pricing, and a lawyer who actually knows your case.

We handle immigration matters at every stage — from green cards and citizenship to fiancé visas, asylum, and removal defense — for military families, entrepreneurs, and individuals building a life in the U.S. Bilingual representation in English and Spanish.

Transparent pricing

Immigration Services

Flat-rate pricing. No hourly billing. No surprises.

Cases handled nationwide. Immigration law is federal. USCIS government filing fees are separate from attorney fees and paid directly to USCIS. Filing fees vary by case type.
Sponsoring a spouse, child, or parent for a green card involves more moving parts than most families expect. We manage the petition, the application, the supporting evidence, and the timeline — so you are not caught off guard by delays or requests for evidence.

We handle both adjustment of status (for those already in the U.S.) and consular processing (for those applying from abroad), including cases with prior immigration history that complicates the path.
Attorney Fees
I-130 Petition Only

The K-1 process lets a U.S. citizen bring a foreign fiancé(e) to the country to marry within 90 days of arrival. It moves through a federal petition and a consular interview abroad — once you marry, adjustment of status is a separate filing.

We handle the petition and prepare you and your fiancé(e) for the consular interview.
Attorney Fees
K-1 Fiancé(e) Petition
$4,000
USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly. Adjustment of status after marriage is priced separately under Family-Based Immigration.
Most green card holders become eligible for citizenship after three or five years, but many wait far longer than they need to — often because nobody told them they were ready, or because a minor complication made them hesitant to file.

We review your eligibility, handle the N-400, prepare you for the interview, and flag anything that needs to be addressed before you apply. For standard cases we move quickly.

Humanitarian relief covers several distinct paths — asylum for those fleeing persecution, VAWA for survivors of abuse by a U.S. citizen or LPR family member, and U visas for crime victims who assist law enforcement. Each has its own eligibility rules and filing deadlines, and more than one may apply to the same person.

Asylum's filing deadline is one year from arrival in the U.S., with narrow exceptions — waiting is the single most common way a strong case is lost. VAWA lets an abused spouse, child, or parent self-petition without the abuser's knowledge or involvement. U visas require law enforcement certification of the victim's cooperation. We build the record for each — declarations, corroborating evidence, and country-conditions or certification support — and represent you through the interview or hearing.

USCIS/EOIR filing fees, if any, are separate and paid directly.
Certain immigration and criminal history can make a green card applicant inadmissible — but inadmissibility is not always the end of the case. A waiver asks the government to forgive the bar based on hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or resident relative. We build the hardship case and file the waiver alongside your green card process.
Attorney Fees
I-601/I-601A Waiver (filed during consular green card process)
$4,500
I-212 Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission After Deportation or Removal
$4,500
If someone in your family serves — active duty, reserve, or veteran — federal law provides immigration protections that most families don't know exist. We help military families access these benefits before a crisis forces the issue.

The rules changed significantly in 2025. Fee waivers were eliminated. Enforcement protections were rescinded. Applications face more scrutiny than before. This is not the moment to self-file.
Attorney Fees
Parole in Place — Standard
From $1,500
PIP + Adjustment of Status
$3,500
Military Naturalization (§328/329)
From $1,000
USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly.
Being placed in removal proceedings does not mean the case is decided. Relief exists — cancellation of removal, asylum, adjustment of status, and other forms of protection — but which applies to you depends on your immigration history, time in the U.S., and family and community ties.

We represent you before the immigration court from the first hearing through final resolution, and we tell you early which forms of relief are realistically available.
Attorney Fees
Removal Defense Representation
From $5,000
Final fee depends on the relief sought and case complexity. USCIS/EOIR filing fees, if any, are separate and paid directly.
Hiring international talent or navigating your own immigration status as a founder requires more than form-filling. The right visa strategy depends on your company structure, your timeline, and your long-term path — including whether you are positioning for a green card.

We advise founders, startups, and growing companies on employment-based immigration, and we handle individual cases for employees, executives, and entrepreneurs.
