Here are several well-regarded Miami immigration attorneys/firms that handle H‑1B petitions, plus quick notes on why you might consider each. I looked up recent firm pages and profiles so you can contact them and compare fees/availability.
Top Miami options for H‑1B work
- Michael G. Harris / HarrisLaw (Miami) — board‑certified immigration specialist with long experience in business visas (H‑1B, L‑1, E, investor visas). Good for complex employer or executive cases. (harrislawpa.com)
- CFR Law (Miami) — boutique immigration firm focused on employment‑based visas (lists H‑1B, PERM, EB categories). Good for hands‑on boutique service. (cfrlaw.com)
- Beltran Brito LLP — Miami firm that markets itself on complex employment and professional visa strategies (H‑1B among practice areas). Good for professional/creative/employer filings. (beltranbrito.com)
- De Wit Immigration Law (Miami) — boutique practice with explicit H‑1B/lottery guidance and employer compliance services. Good for startups/small employers and cap‑lottery strategy. (dewit.law)
- Kravitz & Guerra / Kravitz Law — established Miami immigration firm with decades of experience and AILA involvement; solid for employer-side filings and ongoing compliance. (kravitzlaw.com)
- Greenberg Traurig (Miami office) — large national/international firm with an immigration practice that handles complex corporate transfers and high‑volume employer programs. Good if your employer prefers a large firm. (en.wikipedia.org)
How to pick the right lawyer (quick checklist)
- Experience with H‑1B cap and cap‑exempt filings (and with lottery strategy, if applicable). Ask how many H‑1Bs they filed in the last 12 months.
- Employer vs. employee focus — some attorneys specialize in employer compliance (I‑9, audits) while others focus on individual beneficiary strategy (job descriptions, RFE responses). Choose based on your needs.
- Fees and scope — get a written fee estimate and what’s included (lottery filing, RFE responses, premium processing, consular processing).
- Communication & availability — ask typical response time and whether the attorney will personally handle your case or delegate to a paralegal.
- Local experience (Miami USCIS/consulate interactions) and success with similar job titles/industries.
Next steps
- Narrow to 2–3 firms above and request a short consultation (many offer paid or free initial consults).
- Ask the checklist questions (experience with H‑1B lottery, number of approvals, RFE track record, fees).
- If you want, tell me your situation (employer size, job title, cap vs. cap‑exempt, timeline) and I can recommend which of these firms might fit best or draft questions to ask them.
Would you like me to: (a) find contact/consultation links and phone numbers for 2–3 of these firms, (b) draft an email/consultation script you can send, or (c) help choose which firms match your exact situation?
