Law Offices of John R. Alcorn

The Very Best Legal Representation for U.S. Immigration

This lawyer is licensed to practice in California and has no record of discipline from the California bar association.*

Firm Overview

I founded the Law Offices of John R. Alcorn in 1980. Our specialty is dealing with the United States government in the complicated legal areas of U.S. immigration and nationality law. This is the only field of law in which we practice.

We represent employers throughout the United States regarding employment-related immigration matters. We know how to successfully navigate through the complex rules and regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Department of Labor, U.S. consulates and embassies throughout the world, the 50 separate state employment services and the federal immigration courts.

Example cases

I have represented thousands of people in successful applications for permanent residence, work visas, and asylum cases. I have won many deportation cases in immigration court.

Fees

Free Initial Consultation?

Yes, both telephonic and in office.

Services Offered For Fixed Fees?

Our legal fees are billed only on a "flat fee" basis. This means that we determine what amount of money we think constitutes a fair legal fee. If the person agrees that this is a fair legal fee, and if she or he decides to sign a written agreement with us (the written agreement specifically states that the legal fee will never be increased), then we have officially entered into "an attorney/client relationship."

If a person cannot pay the legal fee in one payment, we are happy to work out a monthly payment schedule. Additionally, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express for payment of legal fees.

Hourly Rates

Our clients know the exact amount of our legal fee pertaining to their case from the day they retain us, and they have the security of knowing that our legal fee will never be increased, and that we will continue to represent them without any additional legal fees until their case is fully resolved.
