Your Trusted Immigration Lawyer in Raleigh & Durham, NC

---

We handle a wide range of immigration matters including family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, asylum and other forms of humanitarian relief, waivers of inadmissibility, and ICE worksite enforcement. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality legal services to our clients.

Yes, we offer in-depth consultations as the first step in our representation process. During the consultation, you will meet directly with an experienced immigration attorney - not a paralegal or assistant. We conduct a thorough legal analysis of your case, carefully reviewing your immigration history, documents, and goals to determine all available options.

The attorney will explain the applicable laws, procedures, and timelines relevant to your case, and outline the benefits and risks of each potential path. We also provide a clear explanation of the legal fees and government costs associated with each option, so you can make informed decisions about how to move forward.

Yes. We offer full legal consultations at a flat fee of $125, which will be credited toward your overall legal fees if you choose to retain us. Afghan clients receive complimentary consultations. 

This means your consultation fee will be deducted from the cost of your legal services if you choose to hire us. For example, if our flat fee for a B-2 visa application is $1000, and you’ve already paid a $125 consultation fee, your remaining balance would be $875. 

In other words, if you hire us for legal services, your consultation ends up being free.

A flat fee is a fixed, all-inclusive price for a specific legal service — no hourly billing and no surprise costs. You know exactly what you’ll pay from the start. 

Please call our office to learn more about our fees. Before you schedule your consultation, we’ll provide a quote for the specific services you're interested in.
