How to Select the Best Immigration Lawyer for Your Case
Your choice of legal representation is undoubtedly one of the most important decisions you can make for the long-term success of your business. The right attorney will work closely with you as your legal counsel, strategic advisor, and trusted colleague. They will be responsive and answer your questions in a timely manner and manage your case so that you can focus on what really matters. The right attorney will create solutions based on your goals and walk you through the most effective strategy to get there.
As a premier immigration law firm with offices in California and New York, we know what it takes to be the best immigration attorney for your case. It is through this understanding that we developed The Alcorn Method to achieve success for our clients, which is informed by our core values:
- Experience & Competence. We have helped thousands of founders and startups with United States immigration. Through this experience, we are better able to anticipate pitfalls and mitigate risk.
- Client Prioritization. We put your goals, needs, and interests first, ensuring that your success is our main priority.

What is The Alcorn Method?
The Alcorn Method is the proven approach that we have used to secure consistent approvals for our clients across a range of immigration cases. We have spent over a decade developing and perfecting this method, and our clients can attest to its success. When you work with an Alcorn immigration attorney, you can expect the following experience:
Strategize
During our initial conversations, our primary goal is strategy-building. We listen carefully to the goals and expectations of our clients, ensuring that we gain a full understanding of the complexities of their business or work as well as their growth trajectory. A company with dozens or hundreds of employees in motion at a given time will require an entirely different strategy than a tech startup that is looking to build its core team. The strategizing step of our method is designed to take these needs into account and develop the most effective immigration solution for your goals.
Prepare
It has been said that success is where preparation and opportunity meet. After developing your legal strategy, we enter the preparation phase. During this phase, we will work closely with you to ensure that all relevant documents are organized and ready to be utilized in your case. After working with thousands of individuals and businesses, we understand that there is a proven methodology for preparing and filing documents. We will review your documents and suggest improvements or amendments based on United States immigration law and precedence.
File
Committing even the most minor errors during the filing process can lead to massive costly and time-consuming delays in the immigration process. We help our clients successfully file their petitions and all supporting documents according to the rules and regulations of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or State Department.
While it is true that you can breathe a small sigh of relief after filing your application, there is still much to be done. The waiting period can be stressful and anxiety-inducing, and we are diligent about keeping our clients up to date about the status of their applications. We also provide guidance and support through the interview process, which can be daunting for many. We ensure that you are prepared and confident in your ability to secure approval and
Win
The fourth and final step of The Alcorn Method is perhaps the most satisfying: winning. Once you have secured approval, we will provide guidance on any next steps that you must take to obtain your visa or Green Card. We enjoy fostering long-term professional relationships with our clients and ensure that we are always here for any immigration matters that may arise in the future.
