Services

Five roads to the same morning.

The law offers a route, not a shortcut. These are the five areas we practice, and each one is worked the same way — from the oath backwards.

01

Family-based immigration

Petitions for spouses, parents and children — the relationship that makes the case, and the evidence that holds it together.

02

Employment visas

Employers and employees, filed so the role, the qualifications and the timing all agree with one another.

03

Asylum applications

The account of what happened, told once and told straight, supported by everything that can still be found.

04

Deportation defense

Hearings before an immigration judge, where the record you built is the case you make.

05

Citizenship applications

Naturalization: the application, the interview, the test, and the morning that sits at the end of all of it.

Not sure which one applies to you? Tell us where things stand and we will point you to the right place.

How we work

What stands between you and that morning.

Distance, mostly: filed paper, kept dates, and a record that has to hold up when it is read by someone who has never met you.

  1. 01

    The record

    Entries, departures, prior filings, interviews. We read what the government already holds before we add anything to it.

  2. 02

    The filing

    Petitions, applications and the evidence that carries them. Everything on the page has to be true, and it has to be clear.

  3. 03

    The dates

    Receipts, requests for evidence, interview notices, hearing calendars. We keep the calendar and tell you what each date means before it arrives.

Our approach

Counsel, in the plain sense of the word.

An immigration case is a long correspondence with an institution that will never meet you. Our part is to sit on your side of the table: to learn the record, to say what the law allows, and to be honest about what it does not.

  • Reading

    We read your record before we add to it.

  • Straight answers

    We tell you what a filing can do, and what it cannot.

  • Continuity

    We stay with the case until the last date on the calendar.

Start here

Start with today.

Tell us where your case stands and we will tell you what comes next. A consultation is a conversation about the record you have — and the record you still need.

What happens next

Three steps, no obligation, and a straight account of where your case stands.

  1. 1

    You send the form with a few lines about where things stand.

  2. 2

    We read it and follow up to set a time to talk.

  3. 3

    We meet and go through the record together.
