How the scorecards 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 Fort Lauderdale immigration firms. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does an immigration lawyer cost in Fort Lauderdale?

We didn’t find fee figures published by these firms, so we’re not quoting prices. Cost depends on the type of case, such as a family petition, naturalization or a court defense, and on whether the firm charges a flat fee or hourly rates. Separately, government filing fees are paid on top of legal fees. Ask for the consultation fee, the full case fee and a list of what is not included, all in writing.

Serving Fort Lauderdale and South Florida

These offices sit across Broward County, in Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Pembroke Pines and Coral Springs. Immigration is federal law, and some firms here say they take clients by phone and video. If you’re searching for an immigration lawyer near me, each listing shows a phone number and directions so you can find the closest office.

Questions to ask an immigration lawyer before you hire

  • What does the consultation cost, and is it credited toward my case?
  • Who will work on my file day to day, an attorney or a paralegal?
  • Is the fee flat or hourly, and what government fees are extra?
  • Have you handled my exact type of case, and how long does it usually take?
  • Can we meet by phone or video, and what language will we use?
  • What happens if my application is denied?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an office in Fort Lauderdale to hire a local immigration lawyer?

Not necessarily. Immigration is federal law, and Gerstein & Gerstein says on its website that most of its clients handle matters by phone and video. Ask any firm how meetings and updates work.

Does a high rating mean the firm handles my kind of case?

No. A rating reflects overall client satisfaction, not case type. Read reviews that match your situation, such as naturalization, a green card or a court case, and ask the firm how often it handles them.

Where to start

U.S. Immigration Law Counsel has the longest public record here, at 885 reviews. Whichever firm you call, ask for fees and what’s included in writing, and pick the one whose experience matches your type of case.
