Call Us Now!
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.

One of our clients, a young man from Des Plaines, came to us after being separated from his wife and two children who were still in their home country. He was living and working in the U.S. on a temporary visa and wanted to reunite his family. But the family-based visa process was more complicated than he thought with delays and obstacles at every turn. Ensuring timely and proper filing of all necessary documents was crucial in overcoming the delays and obstacles in the family-based visa process.
Our attorney took the time to understand his situation and worked hard to guide him through the family visa process. We filed the necessary petitions for his wife and children, made sure all documents were in order and deadlines were met. After months of waiting and attention to detail his family’s visas were approved and they were able to join him in Des Plaines.

Deportation proceedings can be confusing, especially for non-English speaking individuals. There's no guarantee you'll get to stay in the United States, but how do you know when the decision is final? If the Immigration Judge (IJ) decides you're to be deported, have you reached the end of the line? What if you have evidence that the judge made a mistake? You may be surprised to find that you still have options even after the judge has ruled against you.
