Important notices regarding use of this website and communications with the firm.
Attorney Advertising Notice
This website constitutes attorney advertising pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The information presented on this website is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to create, and does not create, an attorney–client relationship between the reader and The Sanders Firm, P.C.
Purpose of This Website
The website of The Sanders Firm, P.C. is intended to provide general information about the firm’s immigration practice, civil-rights foundation, legal perspective, and approach to client representation. The content on this website is designed to help visitors understand the types of immigration and rights-based legal matters the firm may review, including family-based immigration, permanent residence, naturalization, removal defense, humanitarian protection, waivers, appeals, motions, and complex status-related issues.
Nothing on this website should be construed as legal advice. Immigration matters are highly fact-specific and may depend on status history, prior filings, travel history, criminal or summons records, government notices, deadlines, family relationships, employment history, admissibility issues, removal history, and agency action. No person should act, refrain from acting, file an application, respond to a government notice, travel, attend an immigration interview, or appear in immigration court based solely on information contained on this website.
The prior civil-rights disclosure language correctly states that website content is informational only and not a substitute for consultation with a licensed attorney regarding specific facts. That principle applies with particular force in immigration matters because even a seemingly routine filing or response may create serious legal consequences.
No Attorney–Client Relationship
Accessing, reading, downloading, saving, forwarding, or relying on information from this website does not create an attorney–client relationship with The Sanders Firm, P.C.
Submitting a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, calling the firm, or communicating with the firm through this website also does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship is created only after The Sanders Firm, P.C. agrees in writing to represent a client and the client executes a written retainer agreement or other written engagement agreement approved by the firm.
Until that occurs, no communication should be understood as legal advice, acceptance of representation, or agreement by the firm to take any action on the visitor’s behalf.
No Guarantee of Outcome
Legal matters are fact-specific and dependent on applicable law, procedural posture, evidentiary development, agency discretion, court rulings, administrative action, and the strength of the record. Any discussion of prior matters, legal principles, representative case types, practice areas, or potential forms of immigration relief is provided for general informational purposes only.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The Sanders Firm, P.C. makes no representation that any particular result can or will be achieved in any immigration, civil-rights, employment, administrative, appellate, or related matter. The same principle appeared in the civil-rights disclosure draft, which correctly states that prior matters and representative examples are illustrative only and do not predict future results.
Immigration outcomes may depend on factors outside the firm’s control, including agency processing times, government policies, discretionary decisions, documentary sufficiency, testimony, credibility findings, country conditions, statutory eligibility, admissibility issues, prior orders, and changes in law or policy.
Scope of Representation and Firm Focus
The Sanders Firm, P.C. is a New York–based law firm whose practice is grounded in civil rights, institutional accountability, due process, and rights-conscious representation. The firm’s immigration practice reflects that same foundation. It is not structured as a high-volume filing operation, and it does not function as a general-practice law firm.
The firm reviews immigration matters involving family-based immigration, green cards and permanent residence, citizenship and naturalization, removal and deportation defense, asylum and humanitarian protection, VAWA, U visas, T visas and crime-victim relief, employment and business immigration, waivers and complex immigration problems, appeals, motions, and federal review.
Not every inquiry will result in representation. All matters are evaluated individually to determine whether they fall within the firm’s substantive focus, legal capacity, evidentiary requirements, procedural posture, and professional obligations. The prior disclosure language properly identifies the firm as selective and not general-practice; the revised immigration disclosure preserves that limitation while extending it to the immigration practice.
No Legal Advice; Reader Responsibility
No visitor, prospective client, reader, or third party should act or refrain from acting based on information contained on this website without first seeking legal advice from a licensed attorney regarding the specific facts and circumstances of the matter.
Immigration law is particularly sensitive to factual detail. A person’s legal options may be affected by date of entry, manner of entry, prior status, unlawful presence, criminal or summons history, family relationships, prior filings, past denials, prior removal orders, travel, employment, government notices, missed deadlines, and statements previously made to immigration authorities.
The Sanders Firm, P.C. expressly disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, liability for actions taken or not taken based on information obtained from this website. This includes, but is not limited to, decisions to file applications, delay filings, respond to notices, travel outside the United States, attend interviews without preparation, appear in immigration court, submit documents, or rely on general website information as legal advice.
Immigration Deadlines and Emergency Matters
Immigration matters often involve strict deadlines. Requests for evidence, notices of intent to deny, interview notices, biometrics appointments, immigration-court hearing notices, appeals, motions, removal orders, and government correspondence may require immediate attention.
The Sanders Firm, P.C. does not guarantee that a website submission, email, voicemail, or online inquiry will be reviewed before any deadline. Visitors are responsible for protecting their own deadlines unless and until the firm has agreed in writing to represent them.
If a person has an upcoming immigration court date, ICE appointment, USCIS interview, response deadline, removal order, detention issue, or other urgent matter, that person should not rely solely on a website submission. The person should promptly seek legal advice from qualified counsel.
Electronic Communications and Email Disclaimer
Any email or electronic communication sent to or from The Sanders Firm, P.C. is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient. Such communications may contain confidential or privileged information.
If you are not the intended recipient, you are notified that any review, dissemination, distribution, copying, or use of the communication or its contents is prohibited. If you receive a communication in error, notify the sender immediately and delete the message.
Unsolicited emails, website submissions, or electronic communications sent to the firm do not create an attorney–client relationship. Incoming communications may be screened by automated systems, spam-prevention tools, security tools, or third-party service providers. The firm cannot guarantee that every electronic communication will be received, reviewed, or responded to. The civil-rights disclosure draft included this same electronic-communications limitation; it remains necessary here because prospective immigration clients may attempt to send sensitive facts, deadlines, or documents through general online channels.
Visitors should not send confidential, privileged, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through a general website form unless the firm has specifically requested it.
External Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites, government agencies, courts, legal resources, or other external sources. Third-party websites may also link to this website.
The Sanders Firm, P.C. does not control, endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, security, availability, or operation of any third-party website. Links are provided, when used, for convenience only. Access to external websites is at the user’s own risk.
Government websites, agency forms, policy pages, and court resources may change without notice. Visitors should not assume that third-party information remains current unless it is independently verified.
Copyright and Use of Website Content
All content on this website, including text, design, layout, images, commentary, practice-area descriptions, attorney-profile content, blog posts, and related materials, is protected by applicable copyright laws.
Limited reproduction of non-substantial portions of website content may be permitted under the doctrine of fair use, provided that such use is non-commercial, properly attributed to The Sanders Firm, P.C., and does not alter the content or present it in a misleading, false, or incomplete manner.
No portion of this website may be reproduced, copied, republished, distributed, scraped, sold, used for commercial purposes, or incorporated into another website, marketing product, artificial-intelligence system, or publication without prior written consent from The Sanders Firm, P.C.
Statement of Clients’ Rights
The Sanders Firm, P.C. recognizes and respects the New York State Bar Association’s Statement of Client’s Rights. These rights form the foundation of every attorney–client relationship and include the right to competent and diligent representation, reasonable fees, and meaningful communication.
Clients of the firm are entitled to be informed of material developments in their matters and to have fees and billing practices explained clearly and promptly. The firm is committed to ethical representation, professional integrity, and respect for each client.
This provision appeared in the civil-rights disclosure language and should remain because it applies across the firm’s practice areas, including immigration representation.
Immigration Representation and Rights-Based Advocacy
The Sanders Firm, P.C. approaches immigration representation through a rights-based legal framework. Immigration matters frequently involve the exercise of government power over family unity, lawful status, work authorization, travel, detention, removal, humanitarian protection, and citizenship.
The firm’s immigration practice is grounded in careful review, factual discipline, documentary preparation, and respect for human dignity. Individuals navigating immigration systems are often placed in vulnerable positions, particularly when facing government notices, interviews, removal proceedings, prior filing problems, or complex eligibility issues.
The firm approaches such matters with seriousness, selectivity, and an understanding that immigration representation is not merely administrative. It may involve due process, family separation, protection from harm, agency discretion, procedural fairness, and long-term legal consequence.
Final Notice
This website, in its entirety, constitutes attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
For information regarding representation or to request a consultation, contact The Sanders Firm, P.C. directly. Submission of an inquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship. Representation begins only after the firm agrees in writing to undertake the matter.
