Best immigration lawyers in Brooklyn, NY

  • 10 immigration lawyers ranked
  • 4.9 average Google rating
  • 1,965 reviews analyzed

Green card applicants in Brooklyn who file Form I-485 need a medical exam by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon, and the results go on Form I-693. Some cases are simple. Others involve past visa problems, criminal records, prior denials or removal proceedings, and that is when people often start looking for an immigration lawyer.

A lawyer is not required for a green card. Many applicants still hire one to check paperwork, line up the medical exam with the filing, and get answers before they submit. The list below comes from Google Maps data and our own scoring. Use it as a starting point, then call and ask about your own case.

How we ranked these immigration lawyers

We collected immigration lawyer results from Google Maps around Brooklyn and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.

Immigration lawyers in Brooklyn: FAQs

Do I need an immigration lawyer to apply for a green card in Brooklyn?

No. A lawyer is not required for a green card. Many applicants file on their own and do fine. Others hire a lawyer when their case is complex, such as a past visa problem, a criminal record, a prior denial or removal proceedings. Think about how many questions you have before you decide.

How do I choose an immigration lawyer in Brooklyn?

Start with a short phone call. Ask if they handle cases like yours. Ask who will work on your file and how they keep you updated. Check reviews and confirm the office is easy to reach from your neighborhood. Then compare two or three lawyers before you pick one.

When should I contact a lawyer during the green card process?

Early is usually easier. Many people talk to a lawyer before they file Form I-485, so the medical exam and the paperwork line up. Since December 2, 2024, USCIS generally requires Form I-693 to be submitted with Form I-485, and the civil surgeon must sign it no more than 60 days before filing.
