In immigration, the file is the future. A petition filed under the wrong category, an interview walked into unprepared, a notice that sat unanswered because nobody explained what it meant — each one can cost years, and some mistakes cannot be undone at any price. New Yorkers deserve better than navigating that system with a stack of forms and a prayer, or through a lawyer they can only speak to through someone else. Choosing the right New York immigration attorney from the outset can make that difference.

Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes is a litigation firm with offices in Manhattan, Miami, and Houston. Our immigration team works with clients directly in English and Spanish — attorney to client, no translators — so your story reaches the government the way you actually lived it. Consultations are $100 and confidential.

How We Help New York Families

  • Family petitions — petitions for spouses, parents, children, and siblings, adjustment of status, consular processing, and the waivers that keep families together when the forms alone would separate them.
  • Green cards and permanent residency — eligibility strategy, filing, and thorough preparation for the interview that decides it.
  • Citizenship and naturalization — the application, the documentation, and preparation for the civics exam and interview, including cases complicated by old records or prior denials.
  • Asylum — building the evidence and testimony that give a claim its strongest form, within the deadlines the law imposes.
  • Removal defense — representation in immigration court, bond hearings, and detained cases, where the difference between days and weeks of response time can be the difference in the outcome. Learn more about deportation and removal defense in New York.

How We Approach Immigration Cases

We treat every application like a case that may one day have to be defended — because some of them do. That means no shortcuts on evidence, no boilerplate declarations, and no filing until the record supports what it claims. Before anything is submitted, you know your realistic options, what each path requires, and what it costs, in writing. If your strongest move is to wait, we say that too.

Direct Representation in Spanish

An immigration case is built out of a person’s own history, and history told through an interpreter loses the details that carry weight. Our clients explain their lives to attorneys who understand them the first time, in Spanish or English — and the declarations we file say what you meant, not an approximation of it.

FAQs

A family member was just detained. What do I do? Call us and say the case involves detention. Detained and bond matters get priority handling because the clock on those cases is measured in days.

I started my case with another lawyer or a “notario.” Can you take it over? Yes. We review what was filed first and tell you honestly what can be fixed, what cannot, and whether changing counsel helps at this stage.

Do I need to come to Manhattan? No. Consultations and most casework can be done by phone or video, in English or Spanish. Come in person if you prefer — we are at 1123 Broadway.

What should I bring to the consultation? Every immigration document you have filed or received, your identity documents, and any notices from the court, USCIS, or ICE. If papers are missing, call anyway — missing documents are a problem we solve, not a reason to wait.
