Who We Are Immigration AppealWorks® is a Division of The Law Offices of Talia A. Shulman (now on lease from the California Alien Rights Project LLC), and a private organization headed by licensed attorneys and assisted by law students and paralegals. Immigration AppealWorks® exclusive practice involves filing and prosecuting direct appeals and motions to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") and the Legalization Appeals Unit ("LAU"). These direct appeals or motions are referred to as actions in ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Immigration AppealWorks® practice also extends to filing and prosecuting Petitions for Review of final orders of the BIA before the United States Court of Appeal in all federal circuits of the United States. These petitions and motions alike are referred to as actions in JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. Our services are limited exclusively to administrative and judicial Immigration "appellate" processes. Thus, we do not represent aliens in initial proceedings but until after they have been ordered deported by an Immigration Judge or have otherwise lost their cases. We Have At Our Disposition Significant Immigration Law Research Resources, Likely Unavailable To Solo Practitioners We have at our disposition a comprehensive immigration, criminal and civil law library with access to thousands of administrative and judicial decisions, including the most renowned immigration law treatises in the country. We have also at our disposition convenient and immediate access to all state and federal electronic legal publications as are available in the United States Library of Congress, and on major college and university law libraries. We Make The Entire Appeal Process Uncomplicated For You We prefer to file and prosecute any administrative direct appeal, motion or judicial petition for review on behalf of your clients, directly through your office or organization. As a result, your firm, company or organization will be able to continue to maintain these clients as yours for all other services that you normally provide to them. If you are the alien who has been affected by an Immigration Judge's order of deportation, exclusion or removal, we will file and prosecute your appeal in the same manner as well. The process involved in completing our initial involvement and representation in most cases is uncomplicated. Once we have agreed to handle a case, we ask that you provide us with a copy of the Immigration Judge’s decision (or of the final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals in cases seeking judicial review). We will also want to conduct an interview (in most cases telephonically) with you (or, with your client if you are an immigration practitioner while your client is at your office or organization). Most all of the communications and signing of documents that may be required in the majority of the cases can be initially achieved via telephone and fax. Arrangements will then be made for collecting the original documents and the filing fees involved with the administrative or judicial appellate body. Our professional legal fees to prosecute appeals will vary depending upon the "schedule of fees". Schedule of Fees
