We Understand the Journey Because We Lived It

At Lacayo Law Firm, immigration is personal. As first-generation Americans and sons of immigrants, founding attorneys Gilberto and Christian Lacayo understand the hopes, fears, and determination that drive families to seek a better life in the United States.

Our bilingual team provides compassionate, knowledgeable legal representation for every stage of the immigration process. Whether you are seeking to reunite with family, secure an employment visa, defend against deportation, or become a United States citizen, we stand beside you every step of the way.

Miami is home to one of the largest immigrant communities in the United States, and our firm is proud to serve it. As experienced immigration attorneys in Miami, we regularly represent clients before the USCIS Miami Field Office and the Miami Immigration Court, and we manage consular processing for families whose loved ones are still abroad. From Hialeah and Little Havana to Doral, Kendall, and Broward County, we help families navigate a system that is complex, slow-moving, and unforgiving of mistakes.

Every case begins with a free consultation in English or Spanish. We evaluate your eligibility across every available category, explain realistic timelines, and give you a clear, honest assessment before you spend a dollar.

Whether your case involves a family petition, an employment visa, or a hearing in immigration court, a Miami immigration lawyer from our team handles it personally from start to finish.

Family-Based Immigration

Sponsoring spouses, children, parents, and siblings for lawful permanent residence through family petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, and K-1 fiancé(e) visas.

Guiding you through the permanent residency process — family and employment-based green card applications, consular interviews, renewals and replacements, and removal of conditions for conditional residents (Form I-751).

Free Consultation

Citizenship & Naturalization

Preparing your N-400 application, guiding you through the civics exam and English requirements, interview preparation, and the oath ceremony. As your citizenship lawyer in Miami, we also resolve complications — prior arrests, long trips abroad, or past immigration violations — before you file.

Free Consultation

Deportation Defense

Aggressive representation in removal proceedings before the Miami Immigration Court: bond hearings, cancellation of removal, asylum-based defenses, voluntary departure, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals. If you received a Notice to Appear, call us immediately — deadlines in removal cases are short.

Asylum

Representing individuals seeking protection from persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership — affirmative asylum before USCIS and defensive asylum in immigration court, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.

Free Consultation

Immigration Lawyer Miami: Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a green card?

Processing times vary depending on the category. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens may receive green cards within 12 to 18 months, while family preference categories can take several years. Employment-based green cards also vary. During your consultation, we provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation and current USCIS processing speeds.

How much does an immigration lawyer in Miami cost?

Costs vary depending on the complexity and type of immigration case. We offer a free initial consultation so we can understand your situation before discussing fees. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs and offer flexible payment plans to make quality legal representation accessible. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and receive a clear fee estimate.

Do I need a lawyer to apply for U.S. citizenship?

You can file Form N-400 on your own, but naturalization has pitfalls that regularly cause denials or long delays: prior arrests or convictions, extended trips outside the United States, tax issues, or past immigration violations. A citizenship lawyer reviews your record before you file, prepares you for the English and civics exams, and can attend the interview with you. If your history is clean, we will tell you — and if there is a risk, we address it before USCIS finds it.

Can I work while my immigration case is pending?

In many cases, yes. Depending on your visa category and stage of the process, you may be eligible for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that allows you to work legally while your case is being processed. We help you determine eligibility and file the appropriate applications.

What happens if I receive a deportation or removal notice?

Contact an immigration attorney immediately. There are often legal options available to fight deportation, including cancellation of removal, asylum claims, adjustment of status, and other forms of relief. Time is critical in removal proceedings, and having experienced legal representation can make the difference between staying in the country and being deported.

What documents do I need for my immigration case?

Required documents vary by case type but often include a valid passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, employment records, tax returns, photographs, and evidence of your relationship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsor. During your free consultation, we provide a detailed checklist tailored to your specific case so you know exactly what to gather.

Do you offer consultations in Spanish?

Absolutely. Our founding attorneys and team members are fully bilingual in English and Spanish. As first-generation Americans and children of immigrants, we understand the immigrant experience firsthand and are proud to serve the Hispanic community in their preferred language.

What should I look for when choosing an immigration lawyer in Miami?

Look for three things: direct experience with your specific type of case, transparent fees in writing, and a team that speaks your language. Ask who will actually handle your file — at some firms, cases are passed entirely to paralegals. At Lacayo Law Firm, your case is handled by an attorney, in English or Spanish, starting with a free consultation so you can evaluate us before committing.
