Joseph & Hall PC is currently co-counseling in a number of mass immigration litigation matters. If you are a potential client in one of those cases and are looking to participate as a named plaintiff, please follow the instructions linked below.

Did you miss the deadline for onboarding? Sometimes we have the opportunity to add plaintiffs after a case is filed. To be added to a waiting list for one of our cases, sign up here.
