Baptiste Law Group PLLC

What Baptiste Law Group PLLC does

Baptiste Law Group PLLC is a privately held, founder-owned boutique immigration law firm established in 2020 by Managing Attorney Janelle A. Baptiste, Esq., with offices in Newburgh, NY (headquarters) and New York City (30 Broad Street, 14th Floor). The firm serves individuals and employers throughout the New York metropolitan area and Hudson Valley, offering four practice areas: Family-Based Immigration and Removal Defense, Business Immigration (including EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 and non-immigrant visa categories such as O, H, E, F, B, J, L, M, P, R, TN), Green Card services for family members, and Asylum representation.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services practice with no proprietary technology, software product, or digital platform; core technology is explicitly noted as "Not applicable." Service delivery is consultation-driven, with prospective clients reaching the firm via organic website traffic, phone contact at (917) 675-1957, and word-of-mouth referrals within immigrant communities. Of-Counsel Melissa Katsoris, Esq., brings international migration policy experience from her prior role as Adviser to the Permanent Mission of Greece at the U.N., expanding capability in employment-based immigration and asylum matters.

Revenue is generated on a professional services fee basis with case-by-case, quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The firm's value proposition is anchored in the founder's lived immigrant experience and a positioning of "affordable" services with "fierce advocacy." The firm employs detail-oriented paralegals and reports no institutional investment, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no publicly disclosed financial metrics. Customer base is a long-tail of individual consumers and small employer clients, with segment specialization by use case rather than by enterprise size.

Broad incumbents

• Fragomen: The largest global immigration law firm, serving corporate and individual clients across all major immigration categories. Comparable to Baptiste Law Group in that both deliver immigration legal services, but Fragomen operates at vastly greater scale and is the dominant incumbent.
• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): Major corporate immigration law firm offering business and family-based immigration services. Overlaps Baptiste's business immigration and family-based practice areas, but operates nationally and globally with a much larger team.
• Fredrikson & Byron Immigration Group: Mid-sized full-service law firm with a dedicated U.S. immigration practice serving corporate and individual clients. Overlaps Baptiste in employment-based and family-based immigration, but operates as part of a broader general practice firm.

Emerging players

• Boundless Immigration: Tech-enabled immigration services company that handles family-based green cards, citizenship, and marriage-based filings online. Competes for the same family-immigration client segment Baptiste serves, but at lower price points through a software-driven model.
• Catholic Charities Community Services (Immigration Legal Services): Non-profit legal services provider offering low-cost immigration representation including asylum, family-based petitions, and naturalization. Competes for similar low-income and immigrant-community clients in the New York region on a non-profit basis.
• RapidVisa: Online immigration services platform focused on family-based green card petitions. Targets price-sensitive individual clients in the same family-immigration category that is Baptiste's primary segment, representing a digital substitution threat.

Direct peers

• Cyrus D. Mehta & Associates PLLC: New York-based boutique immigration law firm led by a recognized sole practitioner with expertise in business immigration, family-based petitions, and asylum. Directly comparable in size, geography, and immigration practice focus.
• Wolfsdorf & Rosenthal LLP: Specialist U.S. immigration law firm serving individual and corporate clients globally. Comparable practice areas (family-based, employment-based, asylum) and a similar boutique specialization, though typically handling more high-net-worth and complex matters.
• Klasko Immigration Law Partners: Boutique immigration law firm with offices in Philadelphia and New York handling corporate immigration, family-based petitions, asylum, and removal defense. Closely comparable in practice mix and firm scale to Baptiste Law Group.

Regional players

• Mandelbaum Barrett PC: New Jersey/New York-based full-service firm with a strong immigration practice serving individual and business clients in the Northeast. Comparable geography and practice mix to Baptiste, though operating from a neighboring state.
