Guidance through the U.S. immigration system for individuals and families.
Immigration
U.S. immigration law is complex, the paperwork is unforgiving, and the stakes for you and your family are high. Barrie Legal helps individuals and families understand their options, prepare complete and accurate applications, and respond when the government asks for more.
Immigration is governed by federal law and handled by federal agencies and immigration courts, so the firm represents clients in federal immigration matters nationwide, wherever you live.

A Notice to Appear starts removal proceedings in immigration court. Do not ignore it, and do not miss a hearing date, because missing a hearing can result in an order of removal in your absence. Contact an attorney as soon as possible.
