What are the Attorney Services that Zontlaw offers?

We are a full-service immigration law firm located in New York City, that proudly serves clients in all 50 States. Zontlaw Legal Services offers clients, fixed-fee legal services provided by licensed Attorneys. We utilize our own innovative, easy to use and secure, online case management system, to provide: convenient, affordable, and effective legal services to our clients. Depending on your individual circumstances and the complexity of your case–which our easy and short online quizes will help determine for you, we will direct you to the best options available for your individualized representation. Principally, we have three pathways that our clients and attorneys will pursue, depending on the complexity of the individual case, the client’s budget, and the amount of time the client wishes to put into their own immigration case. 1. Full Attorney Representation: We provide traditional start-to-finish immigration legal services, with direct Attorney-to-client communication every step of the way; for all kinds of immigration petitions and benefits. This option is always available, and we will be very happy to represent you to the fullest extent; fairly, effectively, and zealously. This option is typically appropriate for more complex cases, as well as for our busier clients who wish to be less involved with their petitions. Because it is more work for our attorneys, this option will be more expensive. However, Full Attorney Representation might be the best and only option, if your case is very complex. Don’t worry about making that decision however, because we will always let you know if we believe that Full Attorney Representation is necessary to effectively represent your interests. *For a full and detailed explanation of this service, please visit our How our Legal Services Work page.* 2. Attorney Application Review Service: This option is more cost-effective for the client than Full Attorney Representation, and it enables the client to do their own Immigration petitions and applications. You will use our easy to use, online platform to fill out your USCIS petition and the required and recommended supporting documentation; all along while having the peace of mind that your USCIS petition will be carefully checked by one of our licensed attorneys, for accuracy and completeness. Our attorneys will tell you if changes need to be made, and provide feedback on where and what to change. In this way, you can do much of the work yourself, save some money, and have the reassurance that you have done your petition correctly. This option will typically be available when your case is relatively straightforward, and we will always let you know if we believe that you’re a good candidate for this service. Additionally, for an added fee, you can elect to have your attorney review and provide feedback on your supporting documentation, as well. About our revolutionary and easy to use Immigration Software Platform: The software platform enables clients and attorneys the ability to complete most client-eligible USCIS immigration petition–and the required supporting documentation, with ease and certainty.

As you fill in information, the system only gets smarter and starts working for you. You will quickly notice that your name and biographical data that you previously entered, will be automatically filled-in where required, on other parts of the form. In the end, you’ll have a real USCIS immigration petition, on their official form(s), without ever having to fill out a confusing USCIS petition. You’ll also breathe easy as the datayou input will be checked by the software system itself; and at the end, manually by a licensed attorney for completeness and accuracy. *For a full and detailed explanation of this service, please visit our How our Legal Services Work page.* 3. Phone Consultations Service: Schedule a phone consultation with one of our experienced attorneys. This service is a standalone fee of $150 dollars and we will set aside brief but ample time, to fully discuss your immigration situation and to help you move forward with confidence. If you decide to pursue either our Full Attorney Representation option or our Attorney Application Review service after your consultation, we will apply (subtract) your $150 dollar phone consultation fee towards the price of either service.

Are Zontlaw Attorney Services prices competitive?

Zontlaw is committed to providing you the best immigration representation at affordable prices. We as a firm utilize our own unique proprietary software to manage our client’s cases. What this really means for our clients is that we are able to handle cases for less than many other firms, because we have put in the time in to automate much of our work. This means that not only can we provide savings to our clients, but we can spend more of our attorney’s precious hours on double checking to make sure your petition is done properly.

Can I handle Immigration Issues myself?

In most cases the answer is, “no.” Immigration law is complicated and there is a lot at stake for you and/or your family. So even a simple mistake, like filling out the wrong form, omitting important information, forgetting to sign a form, or missing a deadline can have very serious consequences. However, common errors that can result in lengthy delays or application denials are easily avoided with the help of a qualified attorney.

Can a paralegal or someone else help me?

For every immigrant seeking officially recognized U.S. citizenship or residency, there are countless businesses and organizations offering help. While some of these offers are legitimate, many are not. Trying to figure out which ones are can be overwhelming, confusing and expensive. In reality, an experienced immigration lawyer is the only person who can provide the comprehensive legal assistance necessary to help you achieve your goals.
