Welcome to the Web site of the Law Offices of Paul N. Medved. We provide comprehensive legal services in all areas of immigration and nationality law to individuals, employers, and commercial entities.

We are experienced professionals who are committed to providing you with quality legal representation in which you can have the highest degree of trust and confidence; we take great pride in our ability to develop responsive and creative strategic solutions to even the most difficult immigration and naturalization problems.

Many proceedings with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service) involve financial and emotional issues that can dramatically affect people's lives. It is frequently a stressful, frustrating, and intimidating experience. You should have an experienced and skillful attorney to represent you throughout that process. Even in more "routine" matters such as applications for permanent residency status or "green cards," visa processing and issuance, or citizenship, the complexities of immigration law are such that the services of an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in that field is highly advisable.

The Law Offices of Paul N. Medved provide a broad range of immigration and naturalization legal services. For individuals, we provide guidance and advocacy in obtaining temporary work visas, visa extensions, and permanent resident ("green card") status for foreign nationals; and we assist clients in becoming naturalized United States citizens, filing for political asylum, and solving problems with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of State, including consulate petitions, waivers, and resisting removal ("deportation"). We have extensive knowledge of and experience with the Immigration Reform and Control Act and the Immigration and Naturalization Act.

For businesses, our goal is to assist our clients in resolving all immigration matters that arise on a daily basis in the global marketplace. We serve both foreign and domestic clients needing to transfer personnel to the United States; these include entertainers, athletes, entrepreneurs, professionals, persons who possess extraordinary abilities, and investors. We also perform Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9) audits. And we expedite the issuance of visas for the employees of American enterprises who have short- or medium-term projects in foreign countries.

Above all, we are passionately dedicated to serving the individual needs of our clients. We stress communication; we want you to know what your options are and what we can do to help you achieve your desired goals. We listen to you-ALWAYS with respect, civility, and courtesy. (We know that the INS doesn't always do that-so we bend over backwards to do so.)

We will always keep you informed and knowledgeable about your particular legal problem. We return your phone calls promptly. We take as much time talking with you, either on the telephone or in our office, as you want and need. Our straightforward, plain-speaking approach will help you make decisions that resolve your case in a manner that is effective, expeditious, and affordable.

In short, it is our core commitment to focus on each client's individual background, needs, and objectives. We are proud of our proven ability to achieve high-quality, innovative, and cost-effective solutions to ALL of our clients' immigration needs.
