Your Attorney
Rita Georges
Managing Partner
Rita has spent more than 13 years helping companies hire and keep the people they want, regardless of where those people were born. She becomes an extension of your HR & Hiring teams to the point you feel like you have immigration counsel in house. She simplifies the complex, keeps cases moving, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Clients tend to describe her the same way: responsive, solutions-oriented, and impossible to rattle. Whether it’s an H-1B that needs to be filed on a tight deadline or a green card strategy that needs to account for three years of business growth, Rita builds immigration plans that actually fit how your company operates.
Hires that start on schedule
You've found the right person. Now you need them authorized to work without putting the hire at risk or leaving the role empty for months.
Compliance from day one
Sponsoring foreign workers brings obligations that don't end with a petition approval. Lapses open companies up to fines and back-pay liability (or worse). But most employers who run into compliance trouble didn't do anything wrong… they just weren't told what came next.
Retention starts with sponsorship
Your best sponsored employees are being recruited by companies willing to start the green card process immediately; don’t hand your competitors a retention advantage.
Hires that start on schedule
We assess every candidate's fastest viable path based on their profile and your hiring timeline. H-1B, TN, L-1, O-1… we evaluate every option that fits (especially if the H-1B lottery isn't a viable answer).
You get a clear timeline to share with your hiring manager, plus regular updates from a team that handles the filings while you handle onboarding.
Compliance from day one
We build compliance into the process from the start. Your PAF is audit-ready before the employee's first day, and your team gets clear guidance on what to post (and where), and how to handle an employee's role or location change.
For companies with a growing roster of sponsored employees, we run ongoing compliance calendars and regular check-ins so nothing slips as the program scales.
Retention starts with sponsorship
You’ve already spent time and money recruiting, hiring, onboarding and training your top people. Those with green cards in process stay more committed to their employers and are far less likely to entertain outside offers.
The standard green card path runs through PERM labor certification before the I-140 immigrant petition, with adjustment of status or consular processing as the final stage. PERM alone often takes 12 to 18 months, and country-based wait times can extend things further.
We help you decide when to begin and choose between EB-2 and EB-3 based on the role. For exceptional employees, we evaluate EB-1 categories that can skip PERM entirely.
In their own words
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire team at Serotte Law, and how seamless they made my process in obtaining my nonimmigrant E1 Treaty Trader visa. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Rita Georges as my lawyer and Brenna Scanlon as my paralegal, both of whom offered incredible guidance through every step of the process. They both went out of their way to provide support not only outside standard business hours, but even during the Thanksgiving weekend when an urgent matter arose in my case. Danielle Roberts also played an important role supporting me throughout my journey and her dedication and timeliness were invaluable. Although the process was backlogged due to delays related to the pandemic, the entire team was continually in touch with me providing updates and any time I had a question (and there were many) I received a response almost instantly. Truly "white-glove", five star service from start to finish. Of note, the firm is especially skilled in working with entrepreneurs such as myself and was extremely detailed and meticulous in assembling my application package, leaving no detail to chance. In the instance I needed a referral to a business plan expert, they were quick to provide a recommendation with whom I also had an outstanding experience. Even for some unexpected issues in my case (namely, administrative processing) the entire team was both knowledgeable and supportive about what needed to be done such that I was ultimately successfully issued my E1. Your search for a law firm ends here.

Prompt, efficient and proactive professionals, while being communicative and transparent every step of the way!! But most importantly, kind, compassionate and responsible. That is how I would describe Serotte Law(yers), in the true sense of every word!! I switched over to Serotte law 5 years ago, and as we all know switching law firms is a more tedious process than starting afresh, but Brenna made it seamless for me. Brenna Scanlon, their Managing paralegal is a highly qualified immigration expert, extremely well versed in her field of knowledge, and all of this while being a kind and compassionate human being. I don’t know of any other law firm that will call you after hours but these guys will. They will treat your sense of urgency as their own and that’s what stands them apart from the plethora of immigration lawyers out there!! Rita George’s, a highly capable and forthcoming lawyer, a solution finder, will guide you smoothly through every situation, every step of the way!! Immigration applicants tend to face many interrelated issues as well, but Serotte law guides you to the best of their ability there too, and if it’s not their forte they will refer you to the best of the best in the business - kinda like a concierge service!!! Thank you once again to team Serotte, Rita George’s, Brenna Scanlon, Danielle Roberts, Asia Battle, Mike Farrell, and everybody else for your able guidance and services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Serotte Law for the past 10+ years, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the very beginning, they have provided exceptional support and guidance through every step of my US immigration journey. Initially, Serotte Law assisted me with obtaining and renewing my L-1A visas. Their deep understanding of immigration law and meticulous attention to detail ensured a smooth and successful application process. Over the years, they have consistently demonstrated their expertise and dedication, making what could have been a stressful experience remarkably manageable. Most recently, Serotte Law helped me achieve a significant milestone: obtaining my green card. Their unwavering commitment and personalized approach were instrumental in this success. The team at Serotte Law, specifically Rita Georges and Asia Battle, is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly responsive and compassionate, always taking the time to address my concerns and keep me informed. If you are seeking reliable and professional assistance for your US immigration needs, look no further than Serotte Law. Their proven track record, coupled with their client-focused approach, makes them the ideal choice. I am immensely grateful for their support and wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone navigating the complexities of US immigration.

I have worked with quite a few immigration attorneys in the last 7 years, and the team at Serotte Law is one of the best I have encountered. As an immigrant that requires work authorization to live in the US, immigration is always on my mind, and I am always stressing about it to some degree. This changed after my firm hired the team at Serotte Law. They handled my H1B transfer, PERM, I-140, and H1B Extension applications flawlessly. They guided me and my company through every step of the process and make sure we were on-track to meet the deadlines. My timeline to procure the I-140 was pretty tight. As such, Susan and team wasted no time in getting all the document in order, and staying on top of the case in the last 18 months. I received regular status updates, prompt email responses, and complete transparency in the process at every step of the way. I would 100% recommend hiring this team for all your work based immigration needs.
