Wizner Law, PLLC is a boutique law firm catering to businesses, higher education, healthcare, and professional organizations. As a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, I have held the position of past chair of the AILA Connecticut Chapter and am currently a member of Connecticut AILA’s Hartford USCIS Liaison Committee. I am also an active member of the International Medical Graduate Taskforce and a panelist at its Physician Immigration Law Institute. I frequently receive invitations to speak about business immigration law at legal conferences across the nation. Additionally, I am a member of the Connecticut Bar Association, Immigration Law Committee. The Best Lawyers in America has recognized me in the field of immigration law since 2005, and I have been honored as Hartford, Connecticut “Lawyer of the Year” in the field of immigration law for 2013, 2020 and 2024.

Got my H-1B approved on the first try

My company's in-house lawyer dropped the ball, this team picked it up two weeks before deadline and we still got an approval. Lifesavers.

Transparent, calm, and incredibly thorough

Walked me through every step of my I-130. Replied to every email within hours. Worth every dollar.

Frequently asked

A 30-minute video or phone call. We review your situation, identify the best path, outline timelines and costs, and answer your questions. You'll receive a written summary afterwards.

Most cases are flat-fee. Pricing depends on category and complexity, and is shared in writing before you retain.

Only the initial consultation is paid through Immigrantio (via Stripe checkout). Once you retain, the lawyer bills you directly — retainer, milestone or hourly fees go straight to the firm's own trust account. Immigrantio is not in the chain of custody for case payments.

Conversations on Immigrantio are end-to-end encrypted. For sensitive case documents and original evidence, you'll exchange those directly with the lawyer by their preferred secure method — Immigrantio doesn't store your case files.
