Immigration FAQS

The simple truth is that most immigration lawyer websites don’t give you useful information when deciding who to hire for your immigration case, much less help you decide if you need an immigration lawyer. I’ve designed this website to help provide you with the information you need to better understand your immigration options. Take a look around at the articles, learn more about your immigration options, watch some immigration videos, or request a free copy of one of my books. When you’re ready to get started with your case, you can contact me  by completing the contact request form or by calling (208) 918-0852.
