The two main acts that govern this area of law are Immigration Reform and Control and Immigration and Naturalization. Mayo and Russ has extensive knowledge of these rulings, and experience working within their guidelines. Because of this, our attorneys are successful at representing clients before the INS.

Among those we assist are:

· Individuals: We provide guidance and advocacy in matters of sole-person or family immigration, naturalization, visas, citizenship, asylum and deportation.

· Businesses: Companies benefit from our expeditious processing of non-citizen employment permits.

· Health care professionals: Help is here for foreign doctors, veterinarians, physical therapists and nurses seeking work permits, permanent residency or United States citizenship.

Here, too, our lawyers represent both individual and commercial clients in "real property" proceedings and transactions. The real property umbrella includes land and the structures attached to it. Cases typically involve:

· Purchase and sale agreements

· Construction

· Mortgages

· Foreclosures

· Leases

· Zoning

· Title actions

· Closings

· Property management.

Advance planning for the distribution of property upon one’s death is essential. Knowing this, our firm offers a variety of services, including:

                          · Wills

· Trusts

· Insurance.

Estate planning is necessary to insure that assets go to the people or charities you choose. It is also an important way to minimize the resulting taxes, for which your beneficiaries will be responsible.

The attorneys at Mayo & Russ are experts at representing those who have been hurt by others. The wide-range of circumstances surrounding litigious injuries include:

· Wrongful death

· Motor vehicle accidents

· Medical malpractice

· Defective products

· Other types of negligence.

We work hard to help our clients receive maximum possible compensation for sustained injuries, lost wages and other damages.
