We practice in the areas of Corporate and Immigration Law because these two areas go hand-in-hand. I am sure you have heard the phrase “the world is getting smaller and smaller”.  Let me tell you what this means exactly.

The Service Industry Employs 80% of Individuals in the U.S. Today.

A century ago, what the economist called the primary sector of the economy (farming, 

fishing, hunting and herding) still employed more individuals in the U.S. than any

other economic sector.  Today, only 2% of our workforce occupies itself this way.  

The tertiary sector (service industries) now employs 80% of individuals in the U.S. 

This percentage is climbing still.  Likewise, in 1915, a 3-minute phone call from 

New York to San Francisco cost approximately $20.70 (about $343.00 in 

2000 dollars); that same call in 2000 cost .36 cents.  Advances in technology has 

made what was considered impossible a century ago, possible today, bringing vast 

changes to the way we conduct business all over the world.  

More Companies Are Hiring Foreign Labor Than Ever Before.

Today, more companies are employing foreign labor than ever before, doing business 

overseas more than ever before and more individuals are acquiring dual citizenship 

than ever before; finding it easy and cost effective to stay connected to their family in 

various countries and live & work in the United States.  At Hines & Associates

we do not feel these two areas of law are mutually exclusive, but interrelated 

in a very important way. 

By Appointment Only

Our firm does not do walk-ins.  We are a "by consultation only" office and we stick firm to this policy.  To schedule a consultation simply call our office or e-mail us.  We can usually get you a consultation within 2 days. 

Consultations/Fees

 We schedule consultations daily.  All Immigration consults, except EB5 and E-2 visas cost $200.00.  Meeting with you and getting the details of your case helps us determine if you are eligible to file or if you will likely run into any issues down the road.  All consultation fees are then credited to you if you retain us.  If you do not retain our office, the consult fee is not refundable.   For Investor Visa consultations, we charge a $500.00 consultation fee.  The reason for this is that these cases are complex and require a lot of work to determine wether you qualify.  It involves looking into yours and your company's financial information and evaluating assets.  

* All consultation fees must be paid prior to your consultation.
