Expand your services. Strengthen your practice.
From service pricing and client acquisition to team training and workflows, we help your firm turn growth plans into daily practice with hands-on support at every step.
Adding employment-based immigration services takes more than accepting new cases. Your firm needs clear pricing, prepared staff, effective client intake, and workflows that support the work.
Drawing on more than two decades of immigration experience, Dayana helps you build those foundations and strengthen what’s already in place. From defining services to training your team and improving client acquisition, we work alongside you to put the plan into practice.

Questions about practice development
How can Valero Legal help grow my immigration practice?
Valero Legal helps law firms launch and grow their immigration services. We work with you on service offerings, pricing, marketing, client acquisition and intake, team training, and case workflows, and help put those improvements into practice.
Can you help us launch employment-based immigration services with no prior experience?
Yes. We help your law firm build the processes, team knowledge, and operational support needed to introduce employment-based services. This can include training, case preparation workflows, pricing, and contract paralegal support. Your attorneys remain responsible for legal advice, strategy, and supervision.
Can you help improve an existing employment-based practice?
Yes. We review how your practice attracts clients, signs engagements, prepares cases, and manages its workload. Together, we identify what is limiting growth and implement improvements based on your firm's priorities.
What does a practice development engagement include?
Each engagement is tailored to your firm. Support may include developing service offerings, setting fees, improving intake and follow-up, refining marketing, mentoring attorneys and training staff, and establishing case workflows. We agree on the scope and priorities before beginning.
Do you implement the recommendations with our team?
Yes. We work alongside your team to turn recommendations into everyday practice. That may mean creating procedures, developing templates, training staff, refining your consultation process, or putting a new service into operation.
Can you help us price immigration services for profitability?
Yes. We help you evaluate the work involved, staffing needs, and scope of each service to develop a more deliberate fee structure. The goal is pricing that accounts for the time and resources required while making clear to clients what their engagement includes.
Can you help us attract and sign more employment-based immigration clients?
Yes. We help refine your positioning, website messaging, referral approach, and intake process so prospective clients understand your services and next steps. We also train your team on follow-up and consultation support. Where relevant, we help your attorneys recognize potential employment-based opportunities within your existing client base.
How can my firm generate more qualified consultations?
More qualified consultations come from aligning your positioning, website, and client acquisition process around the clients you actually want. We review how prospects find you, what your site tells them, and how quickly inquiries are answered and followed up — then fix the weakest link first.
Can we combine practice development with contract paralegal support?
Yes. Both services are available separately or together. Practice development helps strengthen how your firm operates and grows, while contract paralegal support provides capacity to prepare cases. Combining them can help your team implement new services while managing the resulting casework.
How much does immigration practice development cost?
Fees depend on your goals, the scope of work, and the level of implementation and training involved. Schedule a call to discuss your firm's needs.
How long does an engagement last, and how quickly can we get started?
Timing depends on your priorities, the scope of the engagement, and our availability. Some firms need help with a specific project; others need ongoing implementation and training. We confirm a start date and timeline with you, with a straightforward onboarding process to get the work underway.
