Immigration attorney in Chicago?

[gretzky]

While I know that this is not the right thread for this issue, my multiple postings on the US immigration threads have, very surprisingly, not yielded a single response. Since I have contributed to this thread on numerous occasions, I am hoping that some soul will respond to my query. So here it goes...

I am URGENTLY looking for an immigration attorney in Chicago area to discuss potential change in employment and its ramifications on the greencard processing. I would appreciate your sharing any names, addresses, telephone nos. and e-mails of reputable attorneys. Some information about myself:

1. Currently working on H1B visa in Corporate Finance in a large tech. co. in San Jose, CA
2. Current employer has filed for Labor Certification under regular process (i.e., going nowhere)
3. Have been tentatively offered a job in a similar function in Chicago area
4. The Chicago firm is a startup (~1 year old) in the financial services industry
5. The Chicago firm has no experience in immigration issues but is willing to do all it takes to get the process rolling

Many thanks in advance.

Why Chicago based attorneys?

You should not have to use a chicago based lawyer, unless your employer requires that. I have not heard of any reputed Chicago based attorneys (not that there aren't any). But here's a list of good attorneys that I know of:

California:
usabal.com ( out of Palo Alto)

DC:
murthy.com
immigration.com
wotorsonlaw.com

NJ:

Hopefully, some one can come up with a Chicago lawyer.

First of all, many thanks for your responses. It is individuals like you who make this forum useful and valuable - by giving more than taking.

The reason for Chicago-area attorney is simple - I will be dealing with this law firm directly and want to make sure that this third attempt at Labor Certification is not screwed up. I may be wrong about this, but physical proximity will ensure that any and all issues are taken care of relatively swiftly.

The Chicago-area firm that has made me this tentative offer has no experience in immigration matters and has asked me to take the lead in making it happen.
