Keeping families together.

Effective Legal Services

We have experience at a wide-range of family-based immigration issues, citizenship issues and removal proceedings.  Our experience includes appellate advocacy with the Bureau of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.  We have considerable experience with "hardship waivers," waivers/pardons for inadmissibility to the country, typically required for living here illegally for more than a year, misrepresentations to an immigration officer, criminal convictions or HIV.  A majority of our "hardship waiver" cases are through the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.  (Approximately 50% of clients represented by Blackwell Law Group are Mexican.)

Our representation of you begins with a thorough initial interview to learn the facts of your situation.  Based on our assessment of your case, we then identify your legal options.  In some instances, our assessment may include a review of current case law to better understand how courts are responding to your legal issue.  Once we have identified your possible legal options, we will review them with you, paying careful attention to their strengths and weaknesses and helping you decide which option is best for you.

When we review your case, we look not only for the obvious solutions.  We strive to be creative within the limits of the law. 

We stay current with immigration law through training seminars and regular reading.  Our attorneys belong to the American Immigration Lawyer's Association (AILA) and participate in the local AILA chapter. 

No lawyer can guarantee a successful outcome, but we can increase your chances of a successful outcome.
