Our Services
Asylum Representation
We help people seeking protection from persecution in their home countries. This protection, called Asylum, offers lawful presence in the United States for themselves and their family members, as soon as the Asylum application is submitted.
The Asylum laws are restrictive, complex, and changing. Our team will help you build a credible, well-documented case. We will file your Asylum application electronically.
Mr. Ladd will speak for you through a detailed legal brief in support of your Asylum application. A lawyer will represent you at your USCIS interview.
Did you know? Family members are included on an Asylum application and may apply for permission to work and a Social Security card.
Immigration Appeals
It is discouraging to receive a denial letter from USCIS. But it doesn't have to be the end of your story. By filing a timely Appeal, you can add new materials, or challenge USCIS errors, and get your case reviewed and approved.
Mr. Ladd can help you review your options for the Appeal process. He will speak for you through a detailed legal brief in support of your Appeal.
Be aware: An Appeal must be generally filed within 30 days of the date of the USCIS denial letter!
Permanent Residence and Citizenship
We help people bring their families together. If you are a US citizen or Permanent Resident, we will support you to sponsor your family members for Permanent Residence, the "Green Card."
Be aware (May 2026): USCIS has new, restrictive rules for reviewing Permanent Residence applications. We will help you build a persuasive case. Mr. Ladd will speak for you through a detailed legal brief in support of your application. We will file your applications electronically. A lawyer will represent you at your USCIS interview.
We also help Permanent Residents with the Citizenship process, called Naturalization. We will file your application electronically.
Tip: Many applications may now be filed electronically with USCIS.
