We handle cases involving litigation, personal injury, and immigration matters. While our litigation clients are located in Illinois, our immigration clients are from around the world.
Our office is in the near north part of Chicago and is easy to reach by car or by public transportation. It is conveniently located at the intersection of Fullerton and Western in Chicago, only two blocks west from the Kennedy Expressway. We speak Spanish, Hindu, Urdu, Bulgarian, and Russian.
We represent injured victims whose lives have been devastated by the conduct of others. We have witnessed the tragedies that many families face after a loved one suffers an injury, that include mounting medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering. Our law firm is involved in a number of personal injury cases against persons or companies, which through negligence and carelessness have taken away an innocent person's health, independence, or life, and plunged one more American family into social, financial, and medical crisis. Our clients deserve swift justice and demand aggressive lawyers.
Our law firm also represents individuals and companies in immigration matters, guiding them throughout the complicated process of applying for immigration benefits. We will not hesitate to litigate against the Department of Homeland Security if we believe that our clients are entitled to an immigration benefit or have a legal basis to fight removal or deportation from the United States. The pain and separation caused by the deportation or removal of a loved one can destroy a family and can have an especially devastating effect on children. We are fighting to fix the broken immigration system for our clients one case at a time.
We will work on your behalf in strict compliance with the rules of professional responsibility and will handle your case ethically, efficiently, and confidentially.
The annual DV program makes diversity immigrant visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated random lottery drawing chooses selectees for diversity visas. The visas, however, are distributed among six geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. over the period of the past five years. Within each region, no one country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year. The Department of State will only accept completed Electronic Diversity Visa (E-DV) Entry Forms submitted electronically during the registration period between noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4), Thursday, October 2, 2008 and noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5), Monday, December 1, 2008.
