Immigration, family law, and injury counsel for New Yorkers — plain-spoken advice, honest fees, and a first consultation that's always free.
Practice areas
Four focused practice areas — no dabbling. If your matter falls outside them, we'll tell you on the first call and point you to someone we trust.
Green cards, citizenship, work visas, deportation defense, and asylum. We prepare every filing as if it were our own family's — because for many of our clients, it is.
Discuss your case →Divorce, custody, support, and prenuptial agreements handled with discretion. Settlement first, courtroom when necessary — always with your children and your dignity in view.
Discuss your case →Car accidents, slips and falls, and workplace injuries. No fee unless we win, and a straight answer about what your case is worth before you sign anything.
Discuss your case →Formation, contracts, leases, and disputes for owner-run businesses. The same counsel the big firms give their clients, priced for a business your size.
Discuss your case →Our attorneys
You'll always know who is handling your matter — and you'll always be able to reach them.

Client stories
Illustrative stories in the words of the clients we built this practice to serve.
"After two denials, I thought my case was hopeless. Ms. Sterling found the path in one meeting — and I took my citizenship oath this spring."
"Divorce is the worst thing most of us will go through. Daniel made it survivable: fair, fast, and my kids never once felt like pawns."
Free consultation
Every consultation is confidential, free, and with an attorney — never a salesperson. If we can't help, we'll say so and point you the right way.
