How we ranked South Houston immigration lawyers

How to choose an immigration lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many immigration law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Check the lawyer is in good standing with a state bar or law society; immigration lawyers can be licensed in any state.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.
Questions to ask an immigration lawyer
- How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
- How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
- Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
- What are my options, and what are the risks of each?
- Which government fees are not included in your fee?
- Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?

- A fee that is a share of the money recovered, paid only if there is a recovery. Common in injury cases; not allowed for criminal defense or for securing a divorce.

The median Google rating among 341 rated immigration lawyers in South Houston is 4.8★, with a median of 62 reviews. Sullo & Sullo has the most, 6,847 reviews, and ranks #43. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank immigration lawyers?
Each immigration lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do immigration lawyers outside South Houston count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 mi of the South Houston city center, our service radius for immigration lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.
Can immigration lawyers pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do immigration lawyers in South Houston, TX charge?
Immigration lawyers often charge a flat fee per application and hourly rates for court cases. Government filing fees are separate.

Who can legally represent me in an immigration matter?
In the US, only lawyers and accredited representatives of recognised organisations may represent you before immigration agencies and courts (8 CFR 292.1). A notario or consultant cannot. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of immigration lawyers in South Houston, TX ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in South Houston?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
