Immigration
The national practice that built this firm — from marriage green cards to extraordinary-ability petitions — argued from Franklin, for clients everywhere.
Filing is not the same as arguing.
Anyone can submit a form. The question is what happens when the government pushes back.
Immigration is where Leen Heresh's practice began — federal litigation and appellate work, for clients across the country. That origin shapes how every petition leaves this firm: not as a stack of forms, but as a record built to persuade an officer, and to stand up in federal court if it ever has to.
Most cases never need that. The preparation shows anyway — in evidence that anticipates the request before it arrives, in interviews that hold no surprises, and in candid advice about timing, risk, and the honest strength of a case before a dollar is spent on it.
The immigration practice is national. Wherever you are — Williamson County or another state entirely — the work is handled remotely with the same discipline, by the same attorney, from the first conversation to the decision.
Matters taken.
Marriage & family-based green cards
Adjustment of status and consular processing for spouses and close family — the petition, the evidence, the interview, and everything between.
Family petitions
I-130 petitions for parents, children, and siblings — built as a record, not a form stack, from the first filing.
Citizenship & naturalization
N-400 applications, eligibility questions, and the path from green card to oath.
O-1 & EB-1A extraordinary ability
Petitions for people at the top of their field — athletes, artists, founders, researchers — where the evidence is the argument.
Business immigration
Employment-based petitions and counsel for companies bringing talent to the United States.
Federal court litigation & appeals
When an agency delays or denies: mandamus, federal review, and appellate work — the practice this firm was formed in.

Before you call.
Do you take immigration clients outside Tennessee?
Yes. Immigration is federal law, so the practice serves clients nationwide — consultations and casework are handled remotely as easily as in person, with the same preparation either way.
What happens if a case is delayed or denied?
That is where this firm's background matters: it was formed in federal litigation and appeals. When an agency sits on a case or gets one wrong, the options include mandamus actions, motions, appeals, and federal-court review — and your case will have been built from day one with that possibility in mind.
Do you handle the whole case or just the filing?
The whole case: strategy, the petition and its evidence, responses to government requests, interview preparation, and what comes after — one attorney, start to finish.
Start with the strategy.
Bring your situation, your timeline, and your questions. You will leave knowing the honest shape of your case.
