Client Testimonies

“I’m very grateful in the way Bankston Immigration handled my case. I highly recommend them because they offer a payment plan, give great legal advice as well as fast service. I felt great working with them that I will be returning to them to work on my citizenship application. Thank you very much and I hope you continue to help those in need, as well as for those who have no knowledge as to how every case works.”- M.B.P

Low Monthly Payments Available

We assist many victims of crime, victims of domestic violence, individuals fleeing persecution, indigenous Guatemalans, and gay and transgender individuals.

Many of the clients that we help in the humanitarian immigration practice area have limited resources. Some are unable to receive help from the non-profit organizations in our area for various reasons. However, they cannot afford standard legal fees from private attorneys.

We have developed a service model that we hope bridges the gap between non-profit legal aid and private attorneys. We offer smaller down payments and ask for the remainder of the balance to be paid in small monthly payments. We also strive to keep our legal fees in this area as low as possible while still maintaining the highest quality of service.
