We compared 16 immigration lawyers in Bakersfield on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A visa denial or a stalled green card can reshape a family's year, so the choice of immigration lawyers in Bakersfield matters before the first call. The top name here, Law Offices of Tara Khorrami, holds a 4.8 rating across 178 Google reviews, but the page also includes a non-profit, a firm whose website describes a Long Beach office, and a practice that handles criminal defense too, so read each description before you dial.

Short answer: Law Offices of Tara Khorrami leads with a 4.8 rating across 178 Google reviews. UFW Foundation is a non-profit organization, not a law firm, at 4.6 across 108. Maison Law Immigration Lawyers holds 4.3 across 140, The Jurado Firm 4.7 across 90, and Law Office of Francis R. Henriquez, INC. 4.8 across 52. Fees are not published here, so ask each office what its quote covers on the first call.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the provider, compared with others in Bakersfield. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from a couple of hundred people carries more weight than the same score from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently reviews are still arriving. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What immigration help costs and how to compare it

Private immigration practices often charge a set fee per application or case type, and that fee usually does not cover government filing fees. A non-profit may charge little or nothing but can limit the cases it takes. We don’t publish prices because they depend on the case, so ask each office what its quote includes and what it leaves out.

Immigration help around Bakersfield

The providers here sit in central Bakersfield, along H Street and California Avenue. Maison Law’s site says Spanish is spoken, and The Jurado Firm and Law Office of Francis R. Henriquez, INC. both describe service beyond Bakersfield on their websites. If you’re searching for an immigration lawyer near me, check the phone number on each listing and ask whether a first conversation can happen by phone.

What to ask before you hire immigration help

Is the person handling my case a licensed attorney in California?
Do you handle my exact case type, such as a family petition, a work visa or court proceedings?
What does the quote include, and which government fees are separate?
Which office will handle my case, and who will I speak to for updates?
Do you offer help in Spanish or another language I need?
What happens if the case is delayed or denied?
