Approach and process

1. Contact the firm: Prospective clients can reach out by phone, email, or through the online contact form to request a confidential consultation with an attorney.
2. Meet with an attorney: An attorney listens, answers questions, and reviews legal options. Clients are encouraged to bring relevant documentation.
3. Design a plan: The attorney develops a personalized plan to protect the client, their personal assets, and their business.
4. Fees and payment options: The firm offers multiple packages with flexible payment options, which are reviewed during the consultation.

Statutory protections

Some assets, such as a person's home, retirement accounts, and life insurance, can receive special protection under state and federal law. Poorly designed plans can undermine these protections, while a well‑designed plan can incorporate and supplement them. The firm recommends consulting an experienced Arizona asset protection attorney before implementing any specific plan.

EB‑5 investor visa overview

For investors seeking U.S. permanent residence through the EB‑5 program:

• Many investors are seeking opportunities to invest their assets in the U.S. economy.
• An investor may qualify for an EB‑5 visa by investing in a new commercial enterprise and demonstrating that the investment will create at least 10 new jobs.
• The EB‑5 visa can allow the investor and qualifying family members to obtain lawful permanent resident ("green card") status, which can later lead to U.S. citizenship.

Minimum investment amounts (as stated on the firm's site)

• Standard minimum investment: $1,050,000
• Reduced minimum investment in a targeted employment area (TEA): $800,000

Documentation and process highlights

• The investor must document the lawful source of funds used for the investment.
• The investment must generally be irrevocably committed to the project.
• The firm assists with preparing and filing the I‑526 petition and supporting documentation to show that the investment meets EB‑5 requirements, including job‑creation criteria.
• Some investors use regional centers or make investments in targeted employment areas; these options can affect how job creation and geographic criteria are documented.

Because EB‑5 rules and procedures are complex and can change, the firm advises investors to work closely with an experienced immigration attorney to evaluate options and structure investments.
