Immigration Fees
Our attorney fees are very reasonable compared to many other law firms. We believe that it is important for clients to feel they received value for their money and value comes from getting results at a fair rate. The government/ petition fees are fixed, and there are no hidden fees. All fees are placed into Client Trust Account until earned/ when work is performed for client. You have the option of paying by cash or check or credit card.
*Please Note: if any of the petitions are likely to be complicated, we may charge higher amounts for attorney fees.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club. Convenient payment plans are available.
Payment Arrangements
Non-Immigration Court Representations/Services:
Our preference is that Client pay everything up front. If payment arrangement is necessary due to financial difficulties, Client –
- Must pay 80% of the total before we begin anything on the case
- Must pay the remaining 20% of the total before we mail or e-file anything to USCIS or other agencies on their behalf
- The plan stated herein only applies to services over $1000. Services under $1000 must be paid in full
Immigration Court Representations/Services:
Our preference is that Client pay everything up front. If payment arrangement is necessary due to financial difficulties, Client –
- Must pay half of the total (or at least $1000) before we begin anything on the case
- Must pay remainder of the total retainer amount in installments of $200/every two weeks or at minimum $300/month. (Every time a payment is missed, $50 fee is assessed per payment period missed. If non-payment continues for 3 months total/continuous, all work on the case will be suspended and we will withdraw as Attorneys from the case).
- Must pay remainder of entire retainer within 6 months of the initial payment
- The plan stated herein only applies to services over $1000. Services under $1000 must be paid in full
Billing
Any work performed on a case is billed by Attorney Hourly Rate (which is presently $360/hr). Thus, however many hours is put into your case, you multiply that by the Attorney Hourly Rate. This should give you the cost of the total work performed on your case.
Because almost all of our services are flat fees, there’s rarely the need to fear that you may be billed extraordinary amount of hours that you’ll need to pay for.
On the rare occasion that a Client wishes their case terminated before completion of services to the Client, we will bill with the formula in this section, so as to determine the proper amount of refund due the Client.
For example, each Court appearance, or USCIS/ICE appointment appearance is billed for an hour (no matter how long, unless it’s more than an hour, then the incremental minutes may be billed as well).
The tasks that take the most time are doing research, putting together memos, reviewing files/documents, preparing Clients for Court or USCIS/ICE appointments, etc.
Refund to Clients
In the event that a Client requests termination of the case before completion of the matter or services, upon the termination of the Firm’s representation of Client, if the total cost of the legal services performed by the Firm shall be less than the amount of any retainer paid by the Client, the balance shall be refunded to the Client by the Firm within 30-60 days of Client’s instructions to terminate the case or matter.
