Family Based Immigration Bilingual Paralegal

  • Full-time

Company Description

Immigration law is frightening to many. It has the power to bar entry, to remove, to refuse requests for visas, work permits, status adjustment and waivers. Families are broken up and dreams are destroyed. Many lawyers are just going through the motions, standing alongside you, but not really addressing your problems and needs. They are as afraid of the system and its complexities as you are.

Aggressive Representation And Innovative Solutions

The lawyers at Youman, Madeo & Fasano, LLP, are different. We have the energy, the skills and the disposition to take on the system and make it listen to us. We know that you have met or heard of lawyers who take advantage of clients. We know you have every right to be suspicious of lawyers and the law.
