Jackson & Hertogs LLP ("J&H") is a law firm based in San Francisco, California, serving clients throughout the world. Established in 1950, we currently have eight attorneys and over 25 legal assistants and office management personnel to assist our clients with immigration matters. Our clients range from large multinational companies to recent start-up companies and individuals. J&H limits its practice to immigration and nationality law and specializes in corporate immigration issues.
Our service philosophy is simple. We partner with our clients to achieve the approval of applications and petitions from the USCIS and the Department of Labor as quickly and economically as possible. We utilize the latest office technology and employ a team of highly trained and experienced personnel. Our goal is to provide our clients with the shortest possible turnaround time-without compromising the quality of our work. We also utilize state-of-the-art technology in processing cases which provides updated case status information. Our corporate clients have the option of being "web-enabled" so that HR personnel and corporate employees can know the status of their cases at any time.
Immigration laws and procedures are constantly changing and it is vital to keep abreast of the most recent court decisions, proposed regulatory and policy changes and new laws and regulations as they are promulgated. To this end, we constantly update our web site and issue email bulletins to corporate clients. We maintain a complete immigration law library and our attorneys are active in the immigration bar and are frequent guest speakers in the area of immigration law and procedure.
Although our attorneys may emphasize one or more areas of immigration law, our clients are served by, and are clients of, the entire firm. This approach, coupled with our specialization, permits us to serve the large corporation as well as families and individuals.
