Practice Areas
Law Offices of Robert A. Pascal, P.A. handles four primary areas: immigration law, criminal defense, business law, and a secondary practice covering family law, probate, and personal injury.
Immigration law is the firm’s primary concentration. The scope is comprehensive:
Family-based immigration covers petitions for spouses, parents, children, and siblings to obtain U.S. permanent residence or citizenship. Marriage visa and fiance visa petitions require specific documentation and timelines that differ from other family petition categories.
Work visa services include applications for H-1B specialty occupation visas, L-1 intracompany transferee visas, O-1 extraordinary ability visas, and other employment-based categories.
Student visas, visitor visas, and investment visas address the non-immigrant categories most commonly needed by foreign nationals temporarily present in the United States.
Citizenship and naturalization applications require careful preparation given that errors or omissions can delay or prevent approval.
Asylum and deportation defense represent the most urgent category of immigration work. Asylum seekers face deadlines and procedural requirements that are unforgiving of errors. Deportation proceedings require immediate response when initiated.
Immigration appeals before USCIS, the U.S. State Department, the National Visa Center, and embassies worldwide extend the firm’s reach beyond standard domestic immigration practice. The firm also maintains legal alliances in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico for matters requiring local counsel in those jurisdictions.
Criminal defense covers the range of charges that appear in Broward County and South Florida courts: traffic offenses, misdemeanors, felonies, DUI and DWI, domestic violence, drug crimes, theft, fraud, and federal charges.
Business law includes Florida corporation formation, LLC formation, trademark and service mark filings, and shareholder agreement drafting.
