What IMMIGRANT LAW GROUP, LLP does

Immigrant Law Group, LLP is a Portland, Oregon-based immigration law firm founded in 2004 by Stephen Manning. The firm provides legal representation across more than a dozen immigration practice areas, including family-based green cards, fiancé (K-1) visas, citizenship and naturalization, U visas for crime victims, VAWA self-petitions for survivors of domestic violence, T visas for trafficking survivors, asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile status, DACA renewals, military parole in place, advanced parole, and removal of conditions. Service delivery is bilingual (English/Spanish) and includes both in-person consultations at a downtown Portland office and remote phone consultations. An online consultation request form captures immigration status, family situation, and prior legal history to route cases to the appropriate attorney.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no proprietary technology stack, charging a $159 initial consultation fee plus case-specific legal fees collected via a secure online payment portal. The practice is led by four partners — founding partner Stephen Manning, Jessica Boell, Jennifer Rotman, and Shizuko Hashimoto — supported by a total reported headcount of nine. The firm pursues client acquisition primarily through its bilingual SEO-optimized website, online consultation form, and referral-driven channels, and serves individual immigrant consumers rather than enterprise clients. Notable professional credentials include the 2015 AILA Founders Award to Manning, a 2023 Super Lawyer designation for Boell, and the 2008 Gerald H. Robinson Award for Excellence in Immigration Advocacy. The firm has remained privately held with no external investment, no M&A activity, and a single Portland-area geographic footprint since founding.
