Immigration Compliance Enforcement Success Story

At Paschal Nwokocha Law Offices, we continue to represent businesses and individuals in various aspects of their immigration matters with stellar results. Recently, we had a very interesting case with successful result. We were retained by a local high-end restaurant that was a target of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) audit. ICE had cited the business for several violations, including lack of proper documentation regarding employees eligibility to work and other Form I-9 violations. The penalty assessed was about $100,000. We diligently worked on the case, negotiated with the government to resolve the case while at the same time preparing for litigation. We timely filed our pleadings and other papers, arguing why the penalty should be reduced significantly. Our submission and arguments were very persuasive. Suddenly, we got an incredible settlement for the client, requiring client to pay a fraction of the total penalty over a period of time. Client is incredibly happy, and the threat to the business was put to rest. Obviously, every case is different, but our dedication and the outcome on the case is testament to the type of outcome we can get for our clients.
