Let Us Be Your Passport to the World of Immigration.
Garfinkel Immigration Law Firm limits its practice to U.S. immigration law setting itself apart from other areas of practice. We pride ourselves on our profound understanding of U.S. immigration law, which is constantly evolving.
The practice of U.S. immigration law is also complex. The dense bureaucracies that are the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the United States Department of State (USDOS), the United States Department of Labor (USDOL), the United States Customs and Border Patrol (USCBP) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) present a challenge to foreign nationals and employers desiring to successfully navigate applications through them.
Garfinkel Immigration’s value is in its ability to make the immigration process as smooth as possible. Our lawyers and paralegals know U.S. immigration law. Steven H. Garfinkel is nationally-recognized by his peers and is a North Carolina Board Certified Specialist in U.S. immigration law. All of our attorneys have dedicated their careers to the practice of U.S. immigration law. A number of our paralegals have worked for Garfinkel Immigration Law Firm for many years or have previous experience with U.S. immigration law.
