Our
Immigration Attorney's Fees
One
of the overriding principles upon which our firm
is founded, is the strong belief that realistic, affordable
attorney fees for clients are not, and certainly should
not, be an indication of "low quality" or "low
experience", but rather, should be an aspiration for
all law firms to strive to achieve. In other words, "greed" and "inefficiency" should
not be synonymous with quality and experience. In
this vein, our firm, through the use of extensive
computer technology and through other intelligent business
practices, is able to operate at a high standard of economic
efficiency, without any compromise of effectiveness for
our clients. In fact, we believe that our efficient
business practices enhance our responsiveness to our clients,
and our ability to be an effective advocate on their behalf. Thus,
we feel that it is only fair to our clients to "pass
this efficiency" along, in the form of affordable
rates for our legal services.
Fees
In Immigration Matters
In
most immigration matters, attorney's fees are assessed
on a "flat fee" basis. By using the flat
fee concept, clients know precisely what their total fee
bill will be for an issue, and there will be no attorney
fee surprises. Costs associated with an immigration
issue, such as USCIS filing fees, translation fees, certification
fees, postage expenses, copying fees, etc., are the responsibility
of the client, and must usually
be paid in advance to the firm. All reasonably anticipated
costs are identified to the client at the time of retention.
Our
current attorney fee schedule for common immigration matters
is as follows (also note that for unusually complex
matters, the attorney fee may be higher):
