What Maggio Kattar does

Maggio Kattar is a Washington, D.C.-based immigration law firm founded in the 1980s by Michael Maggio and Candace Kattar, with ownership transitioned to Managing Shareholders Jim Alexander and John Nahajzer in 2008. Operating as a privately held professional corporation (Maggio Kattar Nahajzer + Alexander PC), the firm provides full-service immigration representation across employment-based visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-3, TN, E-1, E-2, P-1/P-2/P-3), permanent residence and PERM labor certification, family-based immigration, naturalization, asylum and humanitarian relief, consular processing, and removal defense, alongside employer compliance (Form I-9, E-Verify). It serves a hybrid client base spanning multinational employers, emerging growth companies, non-profits, and individuals and families across 17+ industry verticals including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, technology, education, energy, and entertainment.

The firm's operational infrastructure is anchored by a 20+ year partnership with INSZoom (a Mitratech company) for case management, supplemented by LawPay for client billing. Technology systems hold SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, supporting secure online intake, document sharing, and a client portal for case status and progress tracking. The firm differentiates on a competitive inclusive flat-fee pricing model — covering initial consultation, case preparation, and follow-up questions — as an alternative to hourly or add-on billing, intended to provide clients with predictable operational costs. Distribution is conducted through direct employer and individual intake pathways with dedicated consultation scheduling, supported by an active blog, Constant Contact email newsletter, and brand presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Maggio Kattar monetizes entirely through professional services fees on a flat-fee basis and operates without disclosed external investment, parent ownership, M&A activity, or recurring capital funding. Go-to-market relies on peer recognition (including U.S. News "Law Firm of the Year" 2016 for Immigration Law, 11 consecutive years of National Tier 1 ranking, Best Lawyers in America inclusions 2023 and 2024, and Washingtonian Top Lawyers Hall of Fame) and inbound from referral channels. The firm claims global service reach through an overseas network of international immigration providers for multinational workforce mobility engagements.
