U.S. immigration counsel for employers, professionals, artists, athletes, religious organizations, and families.

Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after conflict review and a written agreement.
Based in Gretna, Louisiana
U.S. immigration matters nationwide
International and consular work
Remote and in-office consultation paths
Business, work, and talent
Employment, employer compliance, EB-3, talent, and religious-worker immigration.
For employers, organizations, professionals, workers, artists, athletes, agents, production teams, clergy, and religious workers, the legal strategy has to align the petitioner, role, qualifications, evidence, timing, and final processing path.
Employers, professionals, and global talent
Employment Immigration
Temporary and permanent U.S. employment strategies must align the employer, position, beneficiary, qualifications, evidence, timing, and final processing path. The firm handles approved employer-sponsored and professional immigration matters for clients across the United States and abroad.
I-9 Compliance and ICE Worksite-Enforcement Defense
An internal review, a Notice of Inspection, a subpoena, a civil-penalty case, and an ICE worksite action are different problems. Employers need disciplined record preservation, controlled communications, and a response suited to the stage they are actually in.
EB-3 requires a legitimate U.S. employer, a real permanent position, lawful recruitment where required, a qualifying worker, a consistent immigrant petition, and the correct final visa or adjustment process. The firm does not sell jobs, employers, or sponsorship.
O and P matters depend on the proposed U.S. work, petitioner or agent structure, contracts, itinerary, engagements, advisory process, and evidence tied to the correct classification. The record must show more than fame in the abstract.
R-1 and EB-4 religious-worker matters require a coherent record concerning the petitioning organization, denomination or affiliation, qualifying role, prior religious work, compensation or support, worksite, and current program requirements.
Credit repair, annulment counsel, traffic defense, and notary
Direct help for the matter in front of you.
Each service has its own legal framework, evidence, deadlines, and next decision.
Credit reports, disputes, and documentation
Credit Report Review and Lawful Credit Repair
Lawful credit-report work can address inaccurate balances, payment history, dates, status, ownership, identity, duplicate accounts, mixed files, obsolete information, identity theft, accounts that cannot be verified after a proper dispute, and failures by consumer reporting agencies or furnishers to follow applicable law. Accurate, current, and verifiable negative information generally cannot be removed merely because it is harmful to a score or financing application.
Build the record. Test the facts. Present the case.
Catholic Annulment Counsel
Counsel can turn a painful, scattered history into a coherent, truthful, evidence-supported presentation. Steel & Associates, APLC identifies the issues that need development, tests the chronology for gaps and contradictions, organizes documents and witnesses, prepares written materials, helps the client respond strategically to tribunal requests, and protects the client from avoidable procedural mistakes.
Preserve a clear copy of the front and back of the citation, identify the issuing agency and court, confirm the court or response date, avoid assuming payment is consequence-free, obtain the current driving and license record when relevant, preserve photographs or video, and disclose CDL, out-of-state, insurance, immigration, employment, crash, injury, arrest, or prior-ticket concerns. The available response depends on the exact charge and court.
Remote Online, Mobile, and Scheduled In-Office Notary Services for Louisiana Documents
The firm may provide scheduled remote online notarization when the document, signer location, technology, identity proofing, and Louisiana law permit it; mobile notarization at an agreed Louisiana location; and in-office notarization by appointment in Gretna. Availability depends on the act and parties. Some documents require originals, witnesses, special form, legal drafting, recording, apostille, or use before a foreign authority and need review before scheduling.
National and international U.S. immigration practice
Based in Louisiana. Working on U.S. immigration matters across the country and around the world.
U.S. immigration law is federal. The firm works with employers, petitioners, organizations, workers, professionals, artists, athletes, religious workers, families, and individuals located throughout the United States and abroad. The Gretna office remains available for scheduled appointments, but immigration representation is not limited to the New Orleans area.
Family, humanitarian, defensive, and citizenship matters
Immigration representation beyond business, work, and talent.
The firm also handles family immigration, humanitarian relief, removal defense, detention and bond, citizenship and naturalization, appeals, and federal immigration litigation.
A useful consultation should identify the parties, objective, procedural posture, time pressure, known risks, and records already available. Bring the facts as they are. Strategy begins with an accurate record, not a preferred label.
