How the scorecards are built

Every figure here is computed from public Google data on the verified date, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google average. Review volume is how many people have rated each firm, compared with other Buffalo immigration firms. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a perfect score from a few dozen. Recency reflects how lately people still review. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do immigration lawyers charge in Buffalo?

Immigration fees depend on the type of case, whether children or a spouse are included, whether a filing meets a request for evidence, and whether court appearances are needed. We quote no fee table because no firm here publishes one we could cite. One firm says most of its cases are flat fee, so ask each for a written quote and what government filing fees are on top.

Offices and reach

These firms sit on Niagara Square, Pearl Street, Wehrle Drive, Union Road and in Williamsville, with one also practicing in Northern Virginia. Several describe serving clients from Canada and other states, and one says it can represent applicants in any state or country.

What to ask an immigration attorney

Have you handled my exact visa or application type recently?
Who will work on my file and respond to my emails?
Is your fee flat, and what government fees are extra?
What is a realistic timeline, and what could delay it?
What happens if my application gets a request for evidence?

Frequently asked questions

Which Buffalo firms handle TN visas for Canadians?

Richards and Jurusik Immigration Lawyers and The Law Office of Brian D. Zuccaro, PLLC both have reviews describing TN visa cases, and Zuccaro’s site lists TN visas as a focus. Confirm current availability when you call.
