Commercial Lease Dispute Resolution

Many businesses are caught in costly disputes with their landlords, often due to circumstances beyond their control. We understand the frustrations and challenges businesses face, for examples:

  • Delays Beyond Your Control
    “It wasn’t me… It was the landlord, contractor, architect, or city agency that delayed my plans, project, or permits, pushing my business opening back by several months.”

  • Requesting Fair Rent Adjustments
    “I just need two more months of rent abatement to complete construction and open for business. Given the landlord’s unresponsiveness throughout the process, I believe that’s a fair request.”

  • Holding Landlords Accountable
    “I’m withholding rent because the landlord has failed to maintain the property as agreed. This weekend’s heavy rain caused a severe roof leak into my kitchen, resulting in significant business losses for which the landlord should be fully responsible.”

Our experienced team can help you navigate these disputes, protect your interests, and seek equitable resolutions.

Employment-based Immigration

Non-immigrant Work Visas: H-1B, H-2B, L-1, O-1, P3 and others

Contrary to the common belief that work visa sponsorship is burdensome, work visas, especially paired with EB-2/EB-3 pathways to green card, is a treasure for US employers that seek to retain professionals and workers. Thanks to the immigration benefit, beneficiaries have significant incentives to remain committed to the sponsoring employer.

We help employers understand crucial immigration concepts such as “Prevailing Wage” and “Specialty Occupation”. Based on the offered job and the beneficiary’s credentials, we prepare tailored and compelling petitions for USCIS’ adjudication.

Immigrant Visas - Pathways to Green Card: EB-1, EB-2/3 PERM, EB-2 NIW, EB-5 and others

These merit-based pathways to Green Card pose some of the most complex and confusing legal landscape. We are here to provide hands-on and step-by-step guidance.

For EB-1 and EB-2 NIW cases, we carefully comb through the beneficiary’s professional achievements to present the best argument that the beneficiary has the required “Extraordinary Ability”, or otherwise qualifies as “Outstanding professors and researchers” or an “Multinational manager or executive”.

We also help clients navigate through the rigid EB-2/EB-3 PERM procedures, including:

  • Prevailing Wage Determination: Petitioning the Department of Labor to consider the job title, duties, location, qualifications and decide the minimum wage that would be required for the particular job opening.

  • Recruitment and Job Advertisement: Complying with the strict legal rules to advertise and recruit qualified U.S. workers. If none is readily available, preparing detailed report documenting the recruitment efforts and result.

  • PERM Labor Certification and I-140 Filing: These critical steps involve preparing and filing the necessary documentation with the Department of Labor and USCIS.

Our Commitments

  • Responsive: We never leave clients in the dark wondering what’s going on. While we may not provide hourly updates, we make sure clients are well informed about the progress of their case.

  • Candid: We are committed to being open with our clients, whether it’s about the extent of our expertise in a particular matter or our assessment of clients’ situation and options.

  • Speedy: We provide clients with realistic timelines and stay on top of cases. We do not forget about any client’s case and only pick it up months later.
