Transparent Flat-Fee Pricing for Many Immigration Matters
At Hummel Law, we believe prospective clients should understand the cost of legal representation before deciding whether to hire an attorney.
Unlike many law firms that require a consultation before discussing fees, we publish our standard attorney fees for many routine immigration matters. We believe this transparency allows clients to compare options, budget appropriately, and make informed decisions.
Every immigration case is unique. The fees below represent our standard flat fees for routine matters. Cases involving criminal history, prior immigration violations, waivers, removal proceedings, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or other unusual legal issues may require additional work and may result in a higher fee. If that is the case, we will discuss it with you before representation begins.
What Our Flat Fees Generally Include
Unless otherwise stated, our flat fees generally include:
✓ Initial attorney consultation and case evaluation
✓ Legal analysis of eligibility
✓ Preparation of all required USCIS forms
✓ Review and organization of supporting evidence
✓ Preparation of legal cover letters where appropriate
✓ Filing instructions
✓ Communication with USCIS while your case is pending
✓ Responses to routine USCIS correspondence
✓ Interview preparation when applicable
✓ Guidance throughout the immigration process
Government filing fees are separate unless specifically indicated.

Why We Use Flat Fees
Most immigration matters involve predictable legal work. Rather than billing by the hour, we generally charge a flat fee so our clients know the cost of representation from the beginning.
Flat-fee billing allows our clients to ask questions throughout the representation without worrying that every phone call or email increases their legal bill. We believe this approach promotes better communication and reduces unnecessary stress during an already complicated immigration process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are government filing fees included?
No. Government filing fees are separate and will have to be paid in addition to the Attorneys Fees.
Do you offer payment plans?
For many immigration matters, yes.
Depending on the type of case, we may be able to arrange payment plans that allow clients to begin representation without paying the entire attorney fee upfront. Please ask during your consultation.
Are these fees guaranteed?
These are our standard attorney fees for routine matters. Every immigration case is different. Cases involving criminal history, prior immigration proceedings, fraud allegations, waivers, or unusual factual or legal issues may require additional work. If so, we will explain any adjustment before representation begins.
What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE)?
Many RFEs are covered as part of our representation. However, unusually extensive RFEs or issues requiring substantial additional legal work may involve an additional fee. If that occurs, we will discuss the situation with you before performing the work.
Can you represent clients outside Florida?
Yes. Immigration law is federal law. We routinely represent clients throughout the United States and around the world before USCIS, U.S. consulates, the National Visa Center, and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), where appropriate.
What if I’m not sure which immigration process applies to me?
That is exactly why we created our intake process. Before recommending a course of action, we evaluate your immigration history, goals, eligibility, and any potential legal issues to determine the best strategy for your situation.
Why Hire an Experienced Immigration Attorney?
Many immigration cases appear straightforward at first. In reality, even relatively simple applications can present unexpected legal issues. Filing the wrong form, misunderstanding an eligibility requirement, omitting important information, or failing to properly document a case can result in delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), denials, and, in some circumstances, removal proceedings.
An experienced immigration lawyer does much more than prepare forms. Good legal representation begins by identifying potential issues before an application is filed, evaluating the available legal options, developing an appropriate strategy, and helping clients avoid common mistakes that can jeopardize their case. Throughout the process, an attorney can also respond to government requests, prepare clients for interviews, and provide practical advice when unexpected issues arise.
Attorney Sean D. Hummel has practiced U.S. immigration law for more than 30 years and has represented thousands of clients in family-based immigration, naturalization, and related immigration matters. That breadth of experience allows him to recognize potential legal issues that may not be apparent at first glance and to develop practical, individualized strategies designed to maximize each client’s opportunity for success.
Whether your case is relatively straightforward or presents unusual legal or factual issues, our goal is to provide experienced legal guidance, clear communication, and effective representation from the initial consultation through the final decision.
