What Our Immigration Lawyers Do
Deportation Defense
Our immigration attorneys represent clients in deportation and removal proceedings with skill and dedication. We focus first on preventing deportation whenever possible. When that’s not an option, we work to help clients remain in the United States for as long as the law allows. Using our legal experience and deep understanding of immigration procedures, we pursue every available strategy to achieve the best possible outcome for each client.

Deferred Action for DREAMers
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), often known as “Deferred Action for DREAMers,” allows certain young immigrants to request temporary protection from deportation and apply for work authorization in the United States. To qualify, you must have been born after June 15, 1981, entered the U.S. before turning 16 and before June 15, 2007, and have maintained continuous residence without long absences or serious criminal convictions. Because DACA eligibility requirements and evidence standards are strict — and the program’s future is uncertain — it’s important to apply as soon as possible. Our immigration attorneys can help you determine if you qualify and guide you through every step of the application process.

Family-Based Immigration
Many families wait too long to begin the immigration process for their loved ones—sometimes until it’s too late. Our immigration attorneys help clients keep their families together in the United States and reunite with relatives living abroad. We assist with fiancé visas, marriage-based green cards, 601 hardship waivers, and family-based immigration petitions. Whether you’re helping a spouse, fiancé, or other family member, we’ll guide you through each step to give your case the best chance of success.
I-601 Hardship Waivers
The I-601 Hardship Waiver process allows an immigrant to gain admission to the U.S. as a legal permanent resident despite unlawful presence if extreme hardship to a U.S. Citizen family member can be demonstrated. These waivers can be complicated, and each case carries its unique set of circumstances. Our immigration attorneys can help you understand the process, and if the I-601 hardship waiver is right for your situation.

EB5 Visas
One emerging area of immigration that is quickly gaining popularity is the EB5 visa. Under the EB5 Visa, an immigrant is fast-tracked through the immigration gauntlet if the petitioner makes job-generating investments in the U.S. economy. EB5 Visas can be complicated and, if done incorrectly, expensive.
Employment-Based Immigration
We help human resource managers and small-business owners wade through government immigration forms and red tape to recruit and employ the workers they need. We assist with H1B visas, L visas, J visas, Labor Certification and Reduction in Recruitment (PERM), EB1, EB2, EB3, EB5, and multinational managers and executives.
Asylum Petitions
McGregor handles both affirmative and defensive asylum cases. If you feel you may have an asylum claim, we encourage you to consult an immigration lawyer as soon as possible, as most asylum petitions must be filed within one year of entering the country.
Immigration Appeals
Immigration issues are complex, and often the result of the case is out of the hands of the attorney you hired. Fortunately, however, most immigration issues can be appealed to a higher authority. We think it advisable for most individuals to at least consider appealing any negative outcome. Learn how our immigration lawyers take on immigration appeals.
How the Best Immigration Lawyers Practice Law
We are dedicated to helping our clients have the best experience possible. We focus on educating and informing our clients. We want to get to know them and hope they want to get to know us. We have found that clients want to speak with an attorney, not a secretary or paralegal. We believe that our clients deserve personalized attention. We make sure that an attorney handles your case and that you will have reasonable access to that attorney. We also understand that immigration issues can create a lot of stress, so we help alleviate that stress, not make it worse.
