For more than 14 years, the Law Offices of Michael H. Said, P.C. have offered caring yet aggressive legal services for immigrants and their families in Iowa.

We can help in all immigration matters such as deportation defense, family visa petitions, employment visa petitions, motions to reopen, appeals and much more. Our experience is invaluable to anyone facing removal or deportation from the United States. When you need an immigration lawyer, please contact Michael H. Said.

People who are natives of other countries and want to become U.S. citizens must go through a process called naturalization. The naturalization process can be complicated. Many U.S. immigration laws can apply to an individual, based on circumstances surrounding the person’s stay in the United States and whether he or she has complied with laws regulating visas and permanent residency. Since the passage of immigration laws in 1996 and also wide sweeping changes in immigration after 9/11, legal enforcement of immigration rules and regulations stiffened. A stricter approach to immigration makes it even more important for immigrants to seek legal help when seeking U.S. citizenship through naturalization.

If you have been arrested or convicted of a criminal offense and you are not a United States citizen, you could face deportation from the United States. It is critically important that you have aggressive, competent, legal counsel on your side. You should contact the Law Offices of Michael H. Said, P.C. if you are not a United States citizen and you have been arrested. We can defend you against criminal charges and, at the same time, attempt to avoid immigration issues as a result of your criminal case. We have the experience to represent clients in both criminal and immigration defense. Our experience makes a difference in criminal and immigration court.

Our offices are open Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central U.S. Time.
