The attorney
Daniel R. Lasar, Esq.
Managing attorney of Lasar Law LLC. Immigration law, exclusively, from an office on Route 27 in Edison — and the person who answers when the firm’s telephone rings.
Most people who call this office have already read a great deal on the internet and are more frightened than when they started. The first useful thing an immigration lawyer does is read the actual record and say plainly what it means.
Daniel R. Lasar earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated from Emory University School of Law in 1998. He is admitted to practise in New Jersey and New York, and is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
His practice is United States immigration law and nothing else: family-based petitions, adjustment of status, naturalization, removal of conditions, waivers of inadmissibility, fiancé(e) petitions, and consular processing through the National Visa Center. Because immigration law is federal, the firm represents clients well beyond New Jersey and throughout the United States.
The firm is deliberately small. One attorney can only carry so many files properly, and the alternative — volume, staff intake, a client who never speaks to a lawyer — is precisely the experience this practice exists to avoid.

§ 01How this firm works
Four commitments, and what each one costs us.
Every firm claims to be responsive. These are the specific practices that make the claim checkable.
- 01
You are told the difficult thing first
If your record has a problem, you hear about it at the consultation — not after a retainer is signed and a filing is already in. Some cases should not be filed yet. A few should not be filed at all.
- 02
The lawyer who quotes the case handles the case
There is no team behind a curtain. The person who reviews your documents is the person who drafts the filing, answers the Request for Evidence, and sits beside you at the interview.
- 03
Evidence before forms
Forms are the last thing prepared, not the first. A petition built on an assembled evidence file survives scrutiny; one built the other way around invites it.
- 04
You keep a copy of everything
Every document filed on your behalf is yours. Clients leave with the complete package, because a case that outlives the firm’s involvement — and most do — needs a record you control.
Notices
This website provides general information about United States immigration law. It is not legal advice, and sending a message or email does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship begins only when the firm and the client sign a written retainer agreement.
Attorney advertising. No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any reviewer’s experience does not guarantee the same result in your case.

Bring the file. All of it, including the parts you would rather not explain.
Nothing in an immigration record is improved by being left out of a consultation. Old arrests, prior filings by other people, entries you are unsure about — those are the facts that determine what is possible.
