U.S. Immigration Attorneys: Employer Audit, Inspection and Enforcement
ROBERT BROWN LLC advises and defends employers throughout the United States in audit, inspection and enforcement actions initiated by any federal agency with jurisdiction over employment-based immigration issues: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Labor (DOL).
The discovery of illegal aliens or ineligible workers at your place of business can expose your company to the risk of significant financial costs and even criminal punishment. Even seemingly minor problems with document retention and compliance procedures can result in civil fines. If your company needs advice about a DOL Notice of Inspection for I-9 compliance, a USCIS H-1B or L visa inspection, or an ICE worksite raid, contact a lawyer at ROBERT BROWN LLC as soon as possible.
