Lincoln Immigration/Naturalization Lawyer
Overview
Award-winning immigration attorney, ardent human rights advocate, and firm co-founder, Raul F. Guerra has served as a trusted legal voice for underserved populations since 2006.
Having represented clients in state and federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, Guerra makes the traditionally challenging path to becoming a lawful permanent resident or U.S. citizen more attainable with an aggressive yet practical litigation approach. His exceptional track record of success has garnered recognition from The National Trial Lawyers, Lawyers of Distinction and the American Association of Attorney Advocates, among several other reputable organizations.
Guerra is also well known for his proficiency in appellate law. If he doesn’t secure an ideal case outcome the first time, then he has the grit, knowledge, and compassion needed to fight through the higher courts and Board of Immigration Appeals until he lands desired results for his clients.

Guerra earned a J.D. from the University of Nebraska. Also heavily involved in the community, Guerra prides his practice on advocating for equal treatment of immigrants – both professionally and personally.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
