While the United States has a long heritage of welcoming immigrants, the complex and political nature of this area of law very often requires the assistance of qualified immigration professionals. Though hiring an immigration attorney cannot eliminate the substantial backlogs currently found in the various government agencies, the existence of these delays makes it even more important to ensure your immigration decisions are guided by the specialized training and knowledge of an immigration attorney. In many cases, the mistakes fatal to achieving immigration goals occur in the first contacts with the United States government. Time and money used to obtain the assistance of counsel at the outset often avoids frustration, more expensive costs, and ultimate failure later on.

Many U.S. companies, large and small, hire foreign workers. The U.S. government requires stringent record-keeping requirements for all employees, prohibits illegal discrimination on the basis of immigrant status, and imposes certain restrictions on the ability to employ some immigrants. Employer compliance with the many immigration laws often benefits from the advise and guidance of a qualified immigration professional.

Extensive international travel and experience, as well as advanced training, give our attorneys a special appreciation for the importance of and concern with which both individuals and companies hold their immigration needs. As a result, our Office not only deals with employment issues, but also seeks to assist religious and non-profit workers, asylum seekers, and those whose immigration status has been threatened.
