When do you need
an immigration lawyer?
In many cases, immigration proceedings represent a one-off yet critical procedural event where legal deadlines and a correctly compiled file are of decisive importance. A dismissed application has an impact not only on the specific petition in question but also on any subsequent immigration steps.
Our law firm represents clients in proceedings before the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, the Department for Asylum and Migration Policy, as well as in subsequent judicial reviews.
