"United States citizenship is not a right but a benefit.  A benefit and privilege worth fighting for... "

            The Immigration practice at the Law Office of Maggie Jo Hilliard, P.A., begins with experienced attorneys that listen to your needs and are ready to go to work for you.  We help immigrants throughout the area in adjusting their status and obtaining their permanent residency through a family petition.  We also help permanent residents obtain U.S. Citizenship.  We have a Spanish-speaking attorney that is a native Spanish-speaker and is able to communicate with Spanish-speaking clients.   

            Immigration law is the same all over the United States (federal law) and changes constantly.  It is to your benefit to call an attorney that is knowledgeable and can help guide you through the Family and Naturalization petitions.  There are numerous applications and documentation that accompany the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative that must be provided to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) in order to have a completed file and be granted an interview.  Maneuvering on your own through the N-400 Application for Naturalization can also be tricky.    An experienced attorney can direct you and help you gather all the necessary documents.  You will also want legal representation at the immigration interview in the event that your application is denied and an appeal becomes necessary.  

            Criminal charges can greatly affect your status as an immigrant.  If you or a family member are an immigrant and have been arrested, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.  There are immigration consequences to criminal activity and you need someone on your side to resolve your criminal issues so they do not affect your immigration status in a negative manner.  Contact us today for a free consultation and to get the help you need.
