By Appointment Only
During your 30- or 60-minute consultation, I will listen carefully to your story, review your documents, ask follow-up questions, and explain—on the spot—how immigration law applies to you.
If there is a viable path, I will draft a written fee quote that spells out the service, strategy, and cost.
Sometimes the honest answer is "no relief available." You receive a concise explanation to avoid spending money on false hope elsewhere.
If your case is complex, I may recommend a paid investigation to uncover every possible option—or confirm that none exist.
Preparing these plans takes time. I re-examine your facts while they are fresh, build a step-by-step strategy, and write it in plain English. That extra care—drawn from over seventeen years in immigration practice—has saved clients tens of thousands of dollars and prevented the costly errors I see when cases are rushed.
