Immigration Counsel for Employers
Attorney Emanuela Prister has 24+ years of immigration law experience, licensed in North Carolina and Texas. This is where HR directors, general counsel, and practice administrators come for I-9 compliance, physician and GME immigration, and fractional in-house counsel — with one named attorney handling the matter, not a portal or a rotating paralegal.

- A capability call to scope what you need — no cost, no obligation.
- A written scope of work with deliverables and a timeline, before any engagement begins.
- Fixed-fee pricing per matter where the scope allows it, retainer pricing for ongoing counsel, hourly for advisory work outside a defined scope.
- One named attorney on the matter throughout — direct phone and email access, not a client portal.
