| ====================================================================== HELLER IMMIGRATION (ABOUT US) By way of history, Heller Immigration Law Group, LLP, also known as 'HILG', has been in business for 25+ years. We use the latest immigration and case management systems. Our firm is headquartered in the SF Bay Area, Silicon Valley and in Palo Alto, CA specifically, but we are national in scope with associate offices throughout the U.S. and abroad. We have always emphasized business and employment-based immigration, but are well-equipped to handle immediate relative, marriage and family-based cases - as well as applications for U.S. citizenship. Our reputation is of a service-oriented immigration law firm, which can not only handle in an expeditious manner the HR/corporate type caseloads, but the extraordinary – often unique matters that come up that need experienced counsel. We are well-known for taking on all sorts of clients - from individuals, to the myriad of Silicon Valley's VC backed start ups, at all stages of development, to entrepreneurs & investors, small business, to mid-sized and large multinational companies. HILG can handle the company CEO's personal case, to obtaining and, more importantly, maintaining the proper visa and work status for the many highly skilled foreign-born employees that U.S. enterprises now depend on. We are particularly adept at EB1/NIW matters for exceptional, outstanding, and extraordinary ability individuals and for expeditiously and successfully obtaining PERM labor certification (without DOL audits). H1B cases, like all immigration matters, have become even more complex and scrutinized so that employers must not only take care that the case is professional handled, but also be be particularly careful to keep accurate records in caes of later USCIS or DOL ‘audits’. More and more, companies are looking at alternative temporary ‘work visas’ - such as TN and even J-1 Trainees and Interns. If you, your company, or any of your associates or clients are in the market for a highly experienced and service-oriented immigration law firm that can handle both small and large accounts, please don't hesitate to call the office - or ask for me personally. Please note that we work very closely with Executive and Management level staff, Human Resource Departments, Hiring and Department Level Managers, General Counsel, In-house and Contract Recruiters, and for larger entities - we are often hired as an 'adjunct' to their own immigration departments. As stated, I am always available to clients after hours on my Blackberry/Cell: 1/650 799-0123. No account is too large or small. We offer substantial ‘multi-case’ discounts and will match any competitor’s price structure. ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES On a more personal note, we (and our associated attorneys) like to be involved in structured and 'funded' entrepreneurial ventures (board of advisors, etc.); if you are interested in getting us involved, or have opportunities you'd like to discuss, we’ll generally be inclined to 'explore' the possibilities with you; we also have lots of connections and friends that can often help. As stated above, we have enlisted some brilliant, very connected. and truly motivated attorney friends, many who came from a large law firm background, but who now have “seen the light”, and who, in associated group that we put together, are willing to take on 'general counsel’ and other legal duties on behalf of new ventures, startup companies, and entrepreneurs, for a relatively small monthly fee+ (plus 'incentives') or other agreed upon remuneration. EQUITY LEGAL PARTNERS (Non-Immigration Legal Services) We have now added a broad range of ancillary legal services for our clients (under Equity Legal Partners, a division of Heller Immigration, managed by Robert Preskill and Mr. Heller). Attorney Robert Preskill, Equity Legal’s Managing Partner, is an expert at dealing with ‘new media’ and business law issues, and with our associates, our firm is skilled in handling all aspects of business, corporate, entrepreneurial, and ‘web’ law, especially advising clients on new business structure/formation issues, legal protections, incorporations, coporate transactions, contracts and agreements, trademarks, and licensing/IP – and many more. We are well versed in areas such as corporate, employment, labor, patent, tax, bankruptcy, entertainment, and Internet law. If litigation is at issue, we have a network of highly qualified attorneys that can handle most situations. Most legal services can be handled on a ‘flat fee’ arrangement; ask for a quote. Internet & Media Law (Protecting Yourself):
We have found that many of our clients and referrals have little knowledge about moving or transacting business on the Internet, that is, into the realm of “new media”; what used to be called “entertainment law” is now called “Internet or web law”. Formulating early and proper legal protections are paramount as companies move into the web (and want legal protections). General Counsel Services (another ‘flat fee’ way to go) Others often want us to act as temporary ‘general counsel’ (at a fixed monthly charge) in the early months of operation or in a later funded ‘start up’ phase (when having counsel ‘handy’ to discuss legal questions, strategies and/or other issues is important; in this regard, often ‘our role’ is to talk for our client and handling issues such as: formalizing negotiations, speaking with potential venture or strategic partners, helping with collections, settlements, etc.). We are also constantly asked by clients and client referrals to review existing business contracts, looking over RE documentation & leases, negotiating and drafting buy/sell, and many other issues. We are also franchise experts. Most importantly, our fee structure and legal costs not only are competitive, but flexible, reasonable and can be structured on affordable terms. Please call Equity Legal if these services are of interest to you, or we can be of help in any way. You can reach us anytime toll-free at: 1/800 863-4448 or locally at: 1/650 424-1900 or 1902; or you reach Rob Preskill directly by email: rpreskill@equitylegalpartners.com ====================================================================== Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in and transmitted with this communication is strictly confidential, is intended only for the use of the intended recipient, and is the property of Heller Immigration Law Group or its affiliates and subsidiaries.
