Looking for insight on business immigration firms in LA. I worked as a judicial clerk/staff attorney at the immigration court and occasionally handles decisions involving employment-based immigration, non immigrant visas, and waivers. I’d like to get into business immigration and eventually advice and counsel for employers, so I’m wondering whether I should be looking into full service firms with L&E and immigration. Thanks!

Please consider Quarles & Brady! They don't have an LA office but do have a lot of remote team members.

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
