One of the things that sets Perez & Associates apart from other Immigration Law firms and immigration lawyers is that it is a full service Immigration firm. Other firms may, for example only do family immigration, or business immigration, or deportation work. At Perez & Associates we are specialized in all areas of Immigration law. Another thing that sets Perez & Associates apart from other Immigration Law firms is that in addition to its broad knowledge of Immigration Law, the firm also has a thorough knowledge of other areas of law that can affect or can be affected by Immigration Laws. For this reason we are often retained as co-counsel in corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, and criminal matters where there may be immigration issues.

Something else that sets Perez & Associates apart from many other firms is our flat fee billing. Immigration cases can be very complex and some immigration matters can take years to complete. For this reason our clients appreciate knowing what their total fee will be before they retain us.
