Guiding Families and Individuals Through U.S. Immigration

Immigration law is complex and constantly changing. We help individuals and families navigate the path to safety, status, and citizenship — with empathy and rigor at every step.

What we handle in immigration

Our immigration practice covers the full range of family-based, employment-based, humanitarian, and removal defense work. On the family side, we handle adjustment of status through marriage, parents, children, and siblings, K-1 fiancé visas and the consular processing they require, and removal of conditions on conditional residency. On the employment side, we handle H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, and E visas, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, and PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant petitions, and the RFE and appellate work that those filings sometimes require.

On the humanitarian side, we handle affirmative and defensive asylum, withholding of removal, Convention Against Torture protection, U-visa cases for crime victims, T-visa cases for trafficking survivors, VAWA self-petitions, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. In removal defense, we represent respondents in immigration court for cancellation of removal, adjustment in proceedings, asylum, and bond hearings, and we handle appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and petitions for review at the Seventh Circuit. We also handle naturalization, including denials and N-336 administrative appeals, and the citizenship implications of complex prior immigration history.

Our approach — clarity, honesty, and the long view

Immigration law is technical, slow, and emotionally exhausting for the people who live inside it. Our approach starts with clarity. The first conversation is detailed, the eligibility analysis is rigorous, and the path forward is explained in plain language before any retainer is signed. We tell clients honestly what we believe is achievable, what is uncertain, and what is unlikely — and we do not push cases that we do not believe in.

We take the long view. Many of our clients have been with our office for a decade or more, beginning with an initial petition and continuing through adjustment, removal of conditions, naturalization, and the immigration matters of their children. That continuity is part of how we work. It also gives us a particular advantage in handling cases that touch criminal law: our combined criminal-immigration practice means that pleas, charges, and dispositions are evaluated for their immigration consequences before they are entered, and post-conviction relief is available when prior counsel did not do that work. The combination is rare, and it is one of the reasons clients with complex situations come to us.
