How the scores work

Every number comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated the firm, compared with other immigration lawyers around Hayward. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently clients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How immigration lawyers charge

We found no fee schedules on the firms’ sites, and the reviews we read give no reliable price for a standard case, so we are not printing any. Fees depend on the type of application, whether it goes before an immigration judge, and how many stages the case has. Ask for a written fee agreement and what it covers before you sign.
