How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the firm, compared with other Austin immigration firms. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from fewer. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Fees depend on the type of case, whether it is a single filing or a multi-step process, and whether government filing fees are included in the quote. Detention or court cases usually cost more than a straightforward application. Ask each firm to put its fee, what it covers and its refund terms in writing before you pay a deposit.

Serving Austin and the surrounding area

These firms have offices across Austin, including East 40th Street, Waller Street, Great Hills Trail, Duval Road and Guadalupe Street. Peek Law Group also lists San Antonio and nearby towns among its service areas. If you are searching for an immigration lawyer near me, each listing shows a phone number and map link.

What to ask before you hire an immigration lawyer

  • Which attorney will handle my case, and who do I contact for updates?
  • What does the fee include, and are government filing fees separate?
  • What is your refund policy if the case changes or I decide to leave?
  • How long do cases like mine usually take, and what can delay them?
  • Do you offer services in my language?
