ATTORNEY, CHICAGO
Jessica Smith, Attorney
I've spent my career fighting for people with no one else in their corner. Now I'm in yours.

HOW I CAN HELP
Whatever brought you here, I can help.
I handle every kind of immigration case for people in Chicago and across Illinois: bringing family together, green cards, citizenship, asylum and humanitarian cases, deportation defense, and business and investor immigration. I'll tell you plainly where you stand and what your real options are, and I'll stay with your case as it moves.
Immigration law is federal, so the whole firm stands behind every Chicago case. The founding partners review every matter with me, so you get the same senior counsel as our Florida clients.
A TRIAL LAWYER FOR THE UNDERDOG
More than fifty jury trials taught me what people need most: someone who shows up and doesn't quit. That's what I'll be for you.

OUR FIRST MEETING
What our first meeting looks like.
In 30 minutes, I'll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and tell you your real options and what they would cost, before you commit to anything.
You can meet me in person at our Chicago office at The Yard, 1101 W Lake St, in Fulton Market, or by video or phone from anywhere in Illinois. It's $100 by phone or video and $250 in person, and it's credited to your case if you hire us.
I meet clients in English. For Spanish, Portuguese, or French, our founding partners meet by video.
