Law Offices of Maria Salazar, PLLC

We are a client-centered U.S. immigration law firm committed to providing precise, compassionate, and strategic legal representation. Every client’s journey is unique, especially in immigration and humanitarian matters, and we believe that the strongest advocacy begins with understanding your story, your goals, and the future you are working so hard to build.

Our practice focuses exclusively on U.S. immigration and humanitarian relief. With experience handling employment-based immigration (including EB-2 NIW, Schedule A professionals, and E-2 investor visas), family-based petitions, and complex humanitarian cases (T-Visa, U-Visa, VAWA, Asylum, and waivers), we guide clients through high-stakes filings with clarity, structure, and unwavering attention to detail. We also support law firms through B2B attorney partnerships, offering white-label and co-counsel services for immigration caseloads requiring fast, accurate, attorney-level work.

What defines our firm is our commitment to integrity, transparency, and human-focused advocacy. From the first consultation, we provide candid assessments, clear legal strategies, and consistent communication. We know immigration is more than a case file; it is a life, a family, a career, and a future. That is why we work relentlessly to secure outcomes that create stability, opportunity, and dignity for every client.

Whether you are pursuing a long-term immigrant visa, seeking protection through a humanitarian pathway, building a U.S. business as an investor, or looking for dedicated support for your firm’s immigration practice, we are here to stand with you at every step.

Frequently

Asked Questions

Got a question? Contact Us!

Do you offer free consultations, and what can I expect from one?

Yes, we provide an initial consultation at no cost. During this meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to explain your situation, share any documents or evidence, and ask questions about the legal process. We’ll review the facts, discuss possible strategies, and give you a clear idea of how we can help. This is also a chance for you to decide if we’re the right fit to represent you.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer, and how are fees structured?

The cost of legal representation varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of legal service you require. Some matters may be billed at an hourly rate, others may involve flat fees, and personal injury cases are often handled on a contingency basis (meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case). During your consultation, we’ll provide transparent information about fees so you can make an informed decision without surprises.

How long will my case take from start to finish?

The timeline of a legal case depends on many factors, including the type of case, the court’s schedule, and whether the matter is settled outside of court or goes to trial. For example, some disputes may be resolved in weeks through negotiation, while others can take months or even years if litigation is involved. After reviewing your case, we’ll provide an estimated timeline and keep you updated on progress every step of the way.

Will my case go to court, or can it be resolved outside of trial?

Not all cases end up in court. In fact, many are resolved through negotiation, settlement discussions, or mediation, which can save time, stress, and expense. However, if your case requires litigation, we are fully prepared to represent you before a judge or jury. Our approach is always to pursue the most efficient path while protecting your best interests.

How do I know if I really need a lawyer for my situation?

If you’re facing a legal issue that could affect your rights, finances, business, or future, hiring a lawyer is often the smartest choice. Legal matters are rarely simple, and attempting to handle them on your own may result in costly mistakes. Having a lawyer ensures that you understand your options, avoid pitfalls, and have a skilled advocate working to secure the best possible outcome.

What should I bring with me to my first consultation?

We recommend bringing any documents, contracts, letters, or evidence that relate to your legal issue. For example, in a family law case, this may include court orders or financial records; in a business dispute, it may include contracts or correspondence. The more information you provide, the more accurate and useful our initial advice will be.

Will the information I share with my lawyer remain confidential?

Yes. Everything you discuss with us is protected by attorney-client privilege, which means your information cannot be shared without your consent. Confidentiality is at the heart of the attorney-client relationship, and you can feel safe knowing that all conversations, documents, and strategies remain private.

Can you guarantee a specific outcome for my case?

No ethical lawyer can guarantee a particular result, because legal outcomes depend on many factors, including evidence, witnesses, opposing parties, and court decisions. What we can guarantee is that we will provide honest advice, clear strategies, and relentless advocacy to protect your interests and work toward the best possible outcome.

Do you take cases outside of [City/State], or only local matters?

Our primary focus is serving clients within [City/State], but depending on the case, we may be able to assist with matters in other areas or refer you to a trusted legal partner in your location. If you’re unsure, reach out to us and we’ll guide you on whether we can take your case or connect you with the right resources.

How do I get started if I want to work with your firm?

Getting started is simple. You can contact us by phone, email, or through our website to schedule a consultation. During this first step, we’ll discuss your legal needs, explain your options, and outline the process so you know exactly what to expect. From there, we’ll begin building a strategy tailored to your case and provide support every step of the way.

The absence of struggle does not create peace; true peace is born where justice prevails.”
