Professional liability insurance for immigration attorneys — where a missed filing window or petition error can cost a client their status, and the stakes make claims especially charged. Backed by an A+ rated carrier, limits to $5M.
Every practice has its own claim patterns. Coverage is only useful when it's matched to the way your work actually generates risk.
Immigration is unforgiving on timing. A missed priority date, RFE response, or filing window can forfeit a client's petition entirely.
Incorrect forms, misclassified categories, or eligibility misjudgments can trigger denials with lasting consequences for the client.
When an error contributes to loss of status or removal proceedings, the human stakes make claims emotionally and financially significant.
Hypothetical, generic illustrations — not actual claims, and not a statement of coverage.

A client alleges the firm filed under the wrong visa category, resulting in denial and lost time and opportunity.
A response to a request for evidence is late or inadequate, and the client alleges the resulting denial was avoidable.
