Staying in Compliance
With U.S. Immigration Laws

The compliance burdens placed on employers by the federal government can be overwhelming. The best practice is one of regular pre-emptive independent employer compliance audits by qualified immigration legal staff. This ensures a qualified human resources department, proper record keeping and the security of an independent legal opinion.

At Teplen & Associates we work with employers of all sizes to ensure that they are in compliance with federal immigration laws. Our lawyers offer valuable, proactive legal advice and services including annual or biannual I-9 audits that are designed to greatly minimize the potential liability of massive fines and possible criminal sanctions for failure to comply with ever-changing federal regulations.

If you have already received a warning notice, a technical or procedural failure letter, or a notice of intent to fine (NIF) from the federal government, our immigration defense team can immediately begin working to minimize your exposure to harsh civil and criminal penalties.

Current Concerns in U.S. Immigration Compliance

The Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is authorized to conduct investigations to assess employer compliance. Recently, ICE has been successful in linking non-compliance with criminal corporate RICO violations. Those convicted of engaging in a pattern or practice of knowingly hiring workers, who are not authorized to work in the United States, may face significant fines and imprisonment.

As government immigration compliance and enforcement actions continue to increase, it becomes essential for employers to seek competent legal counsel to take appropriate steps to protect themselves.
