    WHAT DO CLIENTS ASK ABOUT LATIF LAW?

    Common questions about our services, fees, and process.

    What types of cases does Latif Law handle?+
    Latif Law handles two primary practice areas: family-based immigration law and civil litigation. Immigration services include marriage green cards, K-1 fiancé visas, citizenship applications, asylum, DACA, U-visas, VAWA self-petitions, TPS, and work permits (EAD). Civil litigation services include contract disputes, business litigation, construction disputes, and personal injury claims (auto accidents, slip and fall, dog bites, truck accidents).
    What languages does Latif Law provide services in?+
    Latif Law provides full legal services in English, Spanish and Arabic — from initial consultation through USCIS interviews and court proceedings — serving Columbus's diverse Arab-American and Hispanic communities.
    Where is Latif Law located and which courts does it serve?+
    Latif Law is located at 21 E State St Suite 200, Columbus, OH 43215, in downtown Columbus. The firm serves clients throughout Franklin County and Central Ohio in state and federal courts. Attorney Ali Latif is licensed in both Ohio and New York, and handles immigration cases nationwide since immigration law is federal.
    How long does a marriage-based green card take in Columbus, Ohio?+
    As of 2026, a marriage-based green card through adjustment of status (for spouses already in the U.S.) typically takes 12–18 months from filing to approval at the Columbus USCIS Field Office (395 E Broad St). Depending on your circumstances, Attorney Latif can file your work permit (EAD) and advance parole simultaneously to protect your ability to work and travel while waiting. Each case is different and processing times frequently change.
    How much does a consultation cost at Latif Law?+
    Latif Law charges a $100 consultation fee for immigration and civil litigation matters for a 30-minute initial consultation. You can schedule online at latiflaw.cliogrow.com/book or call (614) 285-5254 during business hours (Monday–Thursday 9 AM–5 PM, Friday 9 AM–3 PM).

    Latif Law provides a free 15-minute phone consultation for personal injury matters. To schedule a personal injury consultation please email us at info@latif.legal.
    Does Latif Law handle deportation defense or removal proceedings?+
    No. Attorney Ali Latif does not handle removal/deportation defense, immigration court proceedings, or employment-based immigration (H-1B, EB visas). The firm focuses on affirmative immigration applications and civil litigation. If you need removal defense, the firm can provide a referral.
    How much does a personal injury case cost at Latif Law?+
    Personal injury cases at Latif Law are handled on a flat 33% contingency fee. There is no upfront cost and no fee unless we recover compensation for you. Free 15-minute phone consultations are available — email info@latif.legal to schedule.
    What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Ohio?+
    Ohio's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
