Important Reminder

If you are not sure if the person giving you legal advice is a lawyer or DOJ-accredited, PLEASE ask to see their bar number or their accreditation. Here at CLIA, your paperwork NEVER leaves our office without being reviewed by one or more of our immigration attorneys or DOJ-accredited representatives.
Friendly Reminder

In order to serve our 600 or so current clients effectively, we ask that you make an appointment with a lawyer or DOJ-accredited representative. If you are a new client, please fill out an intake form by following the link below.
