Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.
Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

A recent client, Ana, came to us with a dream of a better life and becoming a U.S. citizen after living in Bolingbrook for over 10 years. She had been a lawful permanent resident for many years but was not sure how to start the naturalization process. Ana’s biggest concern was that her application was done correctly, she was afraid of delays or denials.
Our immigration attorney met with Ana and went over her entire history, work record, travel, and family background. We made sure every document was submitted, from tax returns to background checks, and made sure Ana was fully prepared for her citizenship interview.
A few months later Ana received the great news that her naturalization application was approved and she was scheduled for her oath ceremony. Ana’s journey to citizenship was a long and emotional one and we were happy to help her achieve her dream of becoming a U.S. citizen.
Ana’s story shows how important it is to have an immigration lawyer to guide you through the process of naturalization. With the right lawyer, your immigration goals are achievable.
One of the most common ways to get legal residency in the U.S. is through family visas and family immigration. If you are a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident, also known as green card holders, you may be able to sponsor a family member for a visa or green card. The process varies depending on the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary and having an immigration lawyer can help you do it right.
Our Bolingbrook immigration lawyers will help you with the process of filing petitions and gathering the necessary documents for family-based visas.
An employment-based visa allows individuals to work in the U.S. legally. Employers sponsor foreign workers for specific visa categories based on job skills and qualifications. There are several types of employment-based visas and which one to choose depends on the type of work you do and the length of your stay.
Some of the most common employment-based visas are:
Our immigration lawyers can help both employers and employees with the paperwork and the process of employment-based immigration.
Being in deportation or removal proceedings is a scary situation. If you or a loved one has been detained or is threatened with deportation it’s important to have an experienced immigration lawyer by your side.

Our Bolingbrook deportation defense lawyers will work hard to protect your rights and explore all possible options to prevent removal. Possible defenses to deportation include:
We will work with you to present the best possible defense in immigration court and pursue any available relief to keep you in the U.S.
Many immigrants who have made the U.S. their home dream of achieving the American dream by becoming a U.S. citizen through naturalization. The process involves meeting certain eligibility requirements including being a lawful permanent resident for a certain period, being of good moral character, and passing a citizenship test.

We can also help with any potential issues that may arise such as addressing any problems in your immigration history that may delay or prevent approval.
In some cases, an individual may be considered “inadmissible” to the United States due to prior immigration violations, criminal convictions, or health issues. However, a waiver of inadmissibility can be available to allow the individual to still get a visa or green card.
Waivers are available for many grounds including:
We can help you determine if you qualify for a waiver.
