Although the firm's primary focus is immigration law, we are also experienced in general civil litigation. We are happy to discuss your legal matter with you to determine if we can assist you.
Attorney's Fees
Velasquez Law Group, LLC charges an initial consultation fee of $250 for immigration matters. During the initial consultation the attorney will provide you with an explanation of the immigration process and possible outcomes for your case.
​
For most legal services, Velasquez Law Group, LLC offers a flat fee. No two cases are alike and, accordingly, no two fees will be the same.
​
Since the amount of time needed on your case can never be predicted with precision, your attorney will do her best, during the initial consultation with you, to estimate the work involved in your case and base her fee accordingly. Velasquez Law Group, LLC will also advise you of any costs that will be involved, such as USCIS filing fees, National Visa Center fees, postage, and courier fees. There may be variables that cannot be anticipated in any legal case, but Velasquez Law Group, LLC will make an honest effort to try to help you determine and anticipate all the costs involved from the outset of the case.
