SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT
Pardo Law Firm offers appointments in person, telephone, and video conference for your convenience. To schedule an appointment with our Charlotte immigration attorneys, Jorge Pardo or Brooke Claiborne or for questions, call (704) 644-7065 today. Appointments may be scheduled by calling our immigration law firm during normal business hours. If calling outside business hours, you may leave a message and our receptionist will call you back the next business day. We do not accept “walk-ins” because doing so would prevent our immigration lawyers from providing our clients with personalized and undivided attention. As a result, we work by appointment only. If you are a new client, please complete the new client questionnaire and bring it to your initial consultation or email it to our Charlotte immigration office.
CONSULTATION FEES
The cost of the initial consultation, in person or virtual for family-based immigration cases is $100 and for business, investment or labor-based immigration is $250.
The consultation fee includes a meeting with one of our immigration attorneys for up to 45 minutes. In most cases, the attorney can analyze your legal options and determine what relief is available within that time. A consultation refers to one individual’s specific legal analysis. If more than one person is consulting during the same appointment, it is considered a new/separate consultation at regular cost.
APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION POLICY
Please call our office at (704) 644-7065 to cancel any appointment at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Canceling your appointment with reasonable notice allows us to offer this appointment to someone else who may need to be seen right away. We do not overbook to compensate for “no show” appointments. We can keep an optimal schedule only if you keep or cancel appointments as requested. This allows for a time-efficient encounter for both the client and the attorney. We reserve the right to require pre-payment to book a consultation after no shows or cancelations.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Pardo Law Firm, a leading Charlotte NC immigration law firm, assists Charlotte area immigrants with all type of immigration issues. If you are facing immigration issues that may require legal assistance, we highly recommend that you invest in an initial consultation with an immigration attorney. The purpose of an initial consultation is to give you the opportunity to have an immigration attorney to thoroughly review your particular situation to determine the available and best courses of action. The initial consultation will also help us determine as well as providing you with an honest assessment of the likelihood of success of your case before you retain our firm. You will also be provided with a quote of the total legal fee for the firm to handle your case.
While anyone can fill out an immigration form, doing so when you don’t qualify for the immigration benefit or when something in your records makes you ineligible to receive it, it may result in not only the denial of your application but, in some cases, in your deportation from the U.S.
Each case is unique and a careful evaluation of your particular matter by a qualified immigration lawyer is essential. We will request certain documents and information prior to the consultation. Please compile and bring with you all available documentation regarding your case.
No attorney-client relationship is formed by virtue of an initial consultation. Such a relationship is formed only upon your retaining this firm to handle a particular matter after signing a Retainer agreement.
VIRTUAL CONSULTATION VIA PHONE AND VIDEO (TEAMS)
If you are not located in Charlotte NC or can’t make it to our immigration law office, we give you the option to have a phone or video consultation with one of our immigration Attorneys.
To make an appointment to discuss your matter with our offices please call (704) 644-7065 during office hours. You may also call at a later time and leave a message with the best time to reach you so we can schedule an appointment.
A member of our staff will schedule an appointment for you to consult with immigration Attorney Pardo or immigration Attorney Claiborne by telephone or videoconference. If your appointment is via telephone, we will call you at the agreed upon time and number. If your appointment is via video conference, you will receive via email a calendar invitation with the link to connect to your consult via TEAMS upon the agreed upon date and time.
If you are scheduled to have a telephone or video consultation with one of our immigration attorneys, we recommend that you fax or email all relevant documents in your case to our offices at least one (1) day prior to your appointment. This will allow the attorney to review your documents before speaking with you and help save you time and money while giving us the most complete picture of your legal matters.
You may fax the documents to (704) 644-7126 or email them to info@pardolawfirm.com
