Share the Essential Information
The inquiry process helps the firm understand the general nature of a matter and determine whether we may be able to assist you. Not every inquiry will cause a consultation or representation.
The firm reviews the information to determine if it falls within its practice and if a next conversation is necessary.
Preliminary Case Review
Submit a short inquiry with your contact information, the general type of immigration matter, and a brief non-confidential summary.
Consultation, if Appropriate
If the firm decides that a consultation may be right for you, it will contact you about the next step. You might get a scheduling link after this first review.
Representation starts with the firm accepting a case and the client agreeing to terms. The firm then provides representation and guidance.
Legal Representation
Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. The firm cannot accept every inquiry or matter.
