We bring skills learned inside the federal immigration agencies and before the courts to challenge agency decisions and vindicate our clients’ rights.
Joshua A. Altman worked in the Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review’s immigration courts, Board of Immigration Appeals, and front office for nearly a decade before moving to private practice in 2018. He brings an extensive knowledge of agency decision-making practices and substantive law and applies his civil litigation and appellate advocacy skills to solving complex immigration matters.
We work on many different types of immigration matters. But our process usually begins with these three steps.
Whether another attorney referred you or you found us on your own, we generally begin by reviewing your case’s history before meeting with you to discuss it.
We may send you one or more forms asking about you and your case. And we will ask for you or your former counsel to send us certain documents.
We use bank-level encryption to secure that information during its transmission and storage.
At our consultation, we will summarize your case’s posture, screen available options, and, if possible, propose a plan.
If we agree on how to proceed, we will prepare a written agreement soon after that so you know what to expect.
And if we can’t help, will try to help you find someone who can.
We will work on getting you on board as quickly as possible. We use state-of-the-art tools that automate much of the retainer process.
And as soon as the paperwork is in order, we will get started right away. You will have a client portal that will allow us to communicate about your case, including exchanging messages and files securely. And of course, you can always set up a time to talk about developments in your case.
You’ll be able to make informed decisions at every step.
