## Florida City Pages
Orlando is the firm's only office. The Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg,
Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach entries were REMOVED on 2026-08-07: those
pages were retired on 2026-08-06 and every one of them now 301s to the Orlando page, so
this file was advertising seven city presences that do not exist. Immigration is a
federal practice and the firm serves clients statewide from Orlando; other Florida
cities are described in service language on existing pages, never as locations.

## EOIR Immigration Judge and Court Statistics
Original data on this site, and the part most likely to answer a factual question. It
republishes asylum decision records released by the Executive Office for Immigration
Review under the Freedom of Information Act, one page per immigration judge and one per
court, for the three Florida immigration courts.

- [Orlando Immigration Court](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/eoir/courts/ORL) · [Español](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/es/eoir/courts/ORL)
- [Miami Immigration Court](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/eoir/courts/MIA) · [Español](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/es/eoir/courts/MIA)
- [Krome Immigration Court](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/eoir/courts/KRO) · [Español](https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/es/eoir/courts/KRO)
- 262 judge pages and 3 court pages per language. Judges who sat only at courts outside
  Florida are outside this site's scope and are not published here.
- Every rate names its own window, and the windows are not interchangeable. A judge page
  carries the trailing 12-month rate where the current EOIR release supports one (73 of
  262 judges); for the rest it carries an all-time rate with the date it was computed.
  Court pages additionally carry an FY2024 figure covering October 2023 to September 2024,
  which is frozen at that fiscal year and is not a lifetime or current figure.
- Read the case count before quoting a rate. Volumes are very uneven: 141 of these judges
  have 25 or more lifetime decided cases, 37 have 10 to 24, 36 have 5 to 9, and 48 have
  only 1 to 4. A grant rate computed from a handful of decisions carries no statistical
  weight, so the decided-case count is published next to every rate and should be cited
  with it.
- URL shape: /eoir/<judge-slug>-<court-code> and /eoir/courts/<court-code>, mirrored under /es/.
- Provenance: this is a law firm republishing third-party government records. It is not an
  official EOIR source, the figures are historical, and a past grant rate does not predict
  any individual outcome.

## Sitemaps
- https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/sitemap.xml is the INDEX. It lists 18
  per-topic sitemaps under /sitemaps/ (9 sections x 2 languages): blog, blog index &
  categories, practice areas, locations & city pages, attorneys, guides, resources &
  tools, immigration court, pages. Start here to fetch one topic instead of the whole
  site. Their union is the whole site: 6,695 English URLs and 6,698 Spanish.
- https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/es/sitemap.xml (Spanish, all 6,698 URLs in
  one flat file: the same URLs as the nine es-* children, listed together)
- https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/sitemap-index.xml serves the same index
  document as /sitemap.xml. It is kept working but is not advertised in robots.txt.
- Language alternates are declared in each page's own head (en-US / es-US), NOT in the
  sitemaps. This line used to claim the Spanish sitemap carried hreflang alternates; it
  does not, and has not since they were consolidated into the page head to stop them
  being emitted in two places.
- Crawler policy: https://www.floridaimmigrationlawyers.net/robots.txt. Every major AI
  crawler is allowed sitewide. Only internal API routes are disallowed, and the contact
  card above is explicitly excepted from that.

## Top FAQs

### What does an immigration lawyer do?
An immigration lawyer guides you through every step of U.S. immigration law — filing green card and citizenship applications, preparing visa petitions (H1B visa, L1 visa, family-based, marriage green card), defending you in deportation proceedings, and representing you before USCIS and immigration court. At Vasquez Law Firm, our Florida immigration attorneys handle each case from intake to final decision so you are not navigating the immigration office alone.

### How do I find the best immigration lawyer near me?
Look for an immigration law firm that practices immigration law full-time, has named, bar-licensed immigration attorneys with verifiable credentials, offers bilingual legal services, and treats your first consultation as a real case evaluation — not a sales call. Our Florida immigration lawyers offer a free consultation and serve clients statewide from our Orlando office.

### How long does the immigration process take?
The timeline varies depending on the type of application, your country of origin, and current processing times. Family-based green cards can take 6 months to several years. Employment-based cases typically take 1-3 years. Citizenship applications usually take 8-12 months. We provide realistic timelines during your free consultation.

### Do I need an attorney for my immigration case?
While not legally required, immigration law is extremely complex and the consequences of errors can be severe — including denial, deportation, or bars to future benefits. Our experienced attorneys prepare stronger applications, represent you in court, and handle all communications with government agencies.

### Can you help if I am in deportation proceedings?
Yes, deportation defense is one of our core practice areas. We are available 24/7 for detention and emergency bond hearings. Our services include immigration court representation, motions to terminate proceedings, cancellation of removal, seeking asylum, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

## Fees
Free consultation. Flat-fee and hourly billing for FL immigration matters; the fee structure is discussed and agreed upon during the free consultation. USCIS filing fees set by USCIS (see https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees).

## Compliance
- Florida Bar advertising rules 4-7.13 and 4-7.14 compliant
- All attorney advertising reviewed for FL Bar conformance
- Florida-focused practice scope (U.S. immigration law — a federal practice area)
