Our Immigration Services
Monteiro & Fishman LLP has been serving the community since it opened its Hempstead office in 2009. Since that time, the Firm has helped thousands protect their legal rights. Protecting the rights of our clients is not only our job, but our passion.
We don’t just fill out forms and hope for the best. Rather, we take the time to learn about you and your individual circumstances and concerns. We then inform you of all available immigration options based on your facts and provide the reliable advice you’re looking for. We individually tailor the best possible legal strategy and work hard on your behalf to get the best possible result.
We know that immigration law is confusing, and you are likely stressed and overwhelmed. We know that courts can be scary and choosing the right lawyer is not easy. The lawyers and professionals at Monteiro & Fishman LLP know your concerns first-hand, having come from diverse countries like El Salvador, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Brazil. We specialize in petitions for immigrants from Latin American countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The Firm monitors the local governments, affairs, and conditions of those Caribbean, Central and South American countries, and quickly adjusts their petitions to reflect all current bases for relief in these ever-changing environments.
Immigration laws are fast moving. The sooner you call our office, the sooner we can schedule an appointment with a knowledgeable lawyer, free of charge. We can help protect you, and your family’s, future in the United States.

Our Practice Areas
Green Card, Citizenship and Family Based Petitions
Adjustment of status relief oftentimes seek “Green Cards” or “Permanent Resident Cards”,
which are documents that allow persons from other countries to live and work in the United
States – sometimes permanent..
Asylum Petition
People can gain asylum or refugee status in the United States if they have a well-founded fear
of persecution from the government, or a group the government is unable or unwilling to control.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) allows certain minor children who live in the United States become Permanent Resident. The first step is to file a dependency petition in the Family Court of either Nassau, Suffolk or Queens.
Deportation/Removal Defense
Deportation and removal are frightening situations and usually begin when a non-citizen is caught in the U.S. without proper documents, is alleged to have violated the terms of their green card or visa, or is alleged to have committed crime.
