ABOUT THE FIRM
A clear foundation for the decisions ahead.
Why Elementa
Around 300 BCE, Euclid organized geometry and number theory into a work that became known as the Elements. Its Latin title, Elementa, gives our firm its name. The work begins with definitions and first principles, then builds a sequence of propositions whose reasoning can be examined step by step.
The Elements has traveled across languages and centuries, becoming one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. Its enduring value lies in the discipline of its structure: the foundation is explicit, the reasoning is visible, and each conclusion must be supported.
We bring that discipline to U.S. immigration law. Every matter begins with the applicable rule and the facts that can be established. We then define the route, the evidence and the work required. The law evolves and outcomes depend on individual circumstances; careful reasoning and accountable representation remain the foundation of our practice.
Our principles
- ◆ First principles. Begin with the governing rule, then test the facts and evidence against its requirements.
- ◆ Fixed fees. Agree on the legal fee and scope before work begins, with no hourly billing and written agreement for additional work.
- ◆ Licensed attorneys. Assign responsibility for each U.S. immigration matter to an appropriately licensed U.S. attorney.
- ◆ One defined path. Explain the selected route from initial assessment through the agreed filing and its next procedural steps.
- ◆ Built to last. Prepare a coherent, well-documented record that remains understandable beyond the day it is filed.
