Immigration Law

Immigration has always been at the core of American traditional rights.  As President George W. Bush once said, “Immigration is not just a link to America’s past; it’s also a bridge to America’s future.”

At Jacobson & Richards, we are driven by the promises that immigration presents to people with diverse economic, educational and social backgrounds.

In a specialty that is flooded with forms and documents, we never lose sight of who we serve, you the one behind the paperwork. We take pride in getting to know the needs of each of our clients, intimately, and we invest ample time upfront to learn each client’s unique situation and how best to cope with those needs.

We are affordable and effective. During your free initial consultation, we will take the time to learn your unique situation and just how we can be of assistance.

We derive great satisfaction from uniting families and helping people start new lives in America. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in any of the following areas of immigration law:

Employment Based Immigration – We help employers throughout Utah.

Family Based Visas — We help fulfill an underlying principle of U.S. immigration policy by helping unite families through a wide range of family-based visas.

Deportation and removal — We act swiftly and with certainty to help individuals who face deportation or removal proceedings.

Habeas corpus defense — We provide legal guidance for those convicted with aggravated felonies, including drug trafficking and drug possession charges.

Detention and criminal actions — We assist those convicted with aggravated felonies, including drug trafficking and drug possession charges.

Appeals— Our firm represents clients at two levels of immigration appeals: before the Board of Immigration Appeals and, in certain cases, to a federal appeals court.

Waivers of inadmissibility— In some cases, we are able to help clients who have been declared inadmissible to the United States on one or more grounds gain lawful admission through the waiver of grounds of inadmissibility.
