Employment-based Immigration (permanent)

When your business is ready to secure its most vital talent through permanent residency, you aren't just filing paperwork—you are navigating a gauntlet of federal regulations and years of administrative scrutiny. In a process that takes years, you cannot afford a single mistake. We provide the oversight required to see your petition through to the finish line.

We won't just "help" with petitions, we’ll engineer comprehensive case plans tailored to the specific operational needs and compliance requirements of your business. We recognize that the permanent residency process is an endurance test designed to find errors. We exist to ensure those errors don't happen.

From initial labor certification through final adjudication, we provide precision-Targeted Case Strategy, proactive Compliance & Risk Mitigation and manage the timeline and the tactics, allowing your leadership to focus on growth while we secure the legal status of your workforce.

For any U.S. employer, the I-9 form is not a mere administrative requirement—it is a federal mandate with the power to derail your operations. In an era of increased scrutiny, a single oversight in employment eligibility documentation can lead to crippling fines, debilitating audits, and irreparable reputational damage. Compliance is not a suggestion—it is a survival strategy. We ensure your business is prepared for the scrutiny of the federal government.

We provide an aggressive, proactive approach to workforce verification and federal oversight, ensuring that your HR infrastructure is bulletproof before the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ever knocks. Our services are designed for the proactive leader who understands that in federal law, the best defense is a flawlessly executed offense.

Within our I-9 Defense work we offer:

• Strategic internal assessments to identify and neutralize compliance gaps before they become liabilities.

• Operational Training & Protocol for your HR department or office manager with the high-level technical training required to properly fill out Form I-9 with zero-margin-for-error precision.

• In the event of a DHS violation or an ICE enforcement action, we provide immediate, high-stakes representation. We will fight to mitigate the damage and protect the longevity of your enterprise.

• We provide you critical assistance in responding to Notices of Inspection (NOI) or managing the fallout of an active workplace raid to help you shield yourself against federal overreach.

In the arena of international trade, a single misclassification or a minor oversight in an export declaration is more than a clerical error—it is a financial liability that the federal government is ready to exploit. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Commerce do not view "honest mistakes" with leniency; they view them as opportunities for aggressive enforcement, heavy duties, and crippling penalties.

Our firm provides a sophisticated, proactive defense for businesses operating on the global stage. We will audit your entire trade infrastructure to ensure it is bulletproof against federal scrutiny. We understand that in the world of import and export, your profitability depends on your ability to navigate a minefield of shifting regulations and aggressive oversight. Among our services in the area of imports & exports, we provide:

• We provide the technical precision required to ensure your goods are strategically classified & valuated, preventing overpayment and insulating you from "misclassification" audits.

• If your business is facing a Notice of Action (CF-29) or a Seizure Notice, we step in as your primary tactical shield to provide aggressive penalty mitigation. We litigate to reduce or eliminate fines and penalties that threaten your operational stability.

• The Best Defense is Prevention: We will engineer rigorous internal protocols to ensure your export declarations meet every federal mandate, neutralizing the risk of investigations before they ever begin.
