About Jonathan

Our seasoned immigration attorneys have the knowledge and skill to help you navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. From complex immigration matters like asylum, deportation and removal defense, we are with you every step of the way.

I have been representing clients in immigration matters since my days as an associate at a small Houston law firm. By the time I opened my own law office in 1983, my immigration practice was growing rapidly, and within ten years all but a few of my cases were in this field. I have seen many changes in immigration law over the past three decades, some for the better, some not, but what has never wavered has been my dedication and commitment to my clients. I have made it a hallmark of my practice to render personalized service to each and every client. My team and I take great pride not only in the successes we have achieved over the years, but most importantly in the differences we have made in the lives of those we have represented. Our expertise extends from temporary work visas, to permanent residence through both employment and familial relationships,through the defense of individuals in removal proceedings, especially those seeking protection from human rights abuses in their home countries. Whatever your immigration needs, we look forward to being of assistance to you.

    Look No Further, This it the Firm you looking for on Immigration Law.

    Posted by

    My removal proceeding and adjustment of status was handled by Law office of Jonathan H. Lamb. I had the pleasure of working with the Mrs. Angie and Mr. Lamb himself. Angie was very honest and professional. With this firm its not only about your money, its about productivity, quality, result and delivery!!!!!!!! . They will exceed your expectations!!!!!!! . There were no extra or hidden fees. Angie was always prompt in responding to questions I had while my case was pending. My Adjustment of status was granted in March 2017 in immigration court, with the grace of GOD and the help of the awesome team at Law office of Jonathan H. Lamb. I would encourage anyone/ everyone seeking immigration assistance, to look no further retain this firm. You wont be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Angie and Mr. Lamb.

    A Nice, convenient lawyer

    Posted by

    He's a nice lawyer, would endeavor to provide you with as much convenience as he can and should, rather than leaving most of the work for the client. Overall, it was a convenient experience, he was as clear as he could've been, everything went as smooth as they could have, Thanks to him.

    Above all else experienced mattered in my situation

    Posted by

    I read all the reviews but after actually talking to other clients and friends Mr. Lambs name kept coming up as the best and most experienced attorney for my situation. I had a honest and open consultation with him and hired him on the spot. Talk to other attorneys but hire this one. He's success record is amazing and he knows more about the law than probably many other attorneys in town. I hired him to do a job and he won! That's what really matters most.

    Excellent Immigration Attorney In State of Texas

    Posted by

    Its hard to find a attorney who really cares about his clients and have full command in his profession. I found myself very fortunate to have Jonathan Lamb as my immigration counsel who helped me get my legal status when others either declined to take my case or only interested in hefty fees.

    Outstanding Attorney!

    Posted by

    I have worked with many attorneys in the past in regards to immigrations issues, business litigations however the experience I had with Mr. Lamb was extraordinary. I think he is very articulate, competent and cares about his clients. He will go extra few miles to help his clients and he is very reasonable. I will recommend him over any big firm in Texas.

    I really appreciate you all did

    Mr. Lamb is the person I always call when I have an immigration question, or when a client is in need of an immigration referral. His knowledge of his field is impressive, and he is always willing to listen and give advice. I endorse him without qualification.

    I have known and worked with Jonathan for twenty years. During this time, I have worked with him on countless immigration matters and have witnessed not only his high ethical standards but also his commitment to looking out for the best interests of his clients. If you are in need of comprehensive and quality immigration advice, you owe it to yourself to speak with Jonathan.

    Relationship: Friend

    Whenever one of my clients has an immigration issue, I do not hesitate to refer them to Mr. Lamb. He has practiced for 30 plus years. Many of these clients, pleased with Mr. Lamb's representation, have referred their friends and associates to him as well. I highly recommend Mr. Lamb.

    Armand Jawanmardi, Immigration Attorney on Jul 23, 2014
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I wholeheartedly endorse Jonathan Lamb. I have personally seen Mr. Lamb in action, interacting with clients and zealously fighting for them in court, and you would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney. As a fellow colleague, I would completely trust Mr. Lamb with any sort of immigration case. It is not too often you can find an attorney who is passionate, trustworthy, and ready to fight for his clients like Mr. Lamb has done for over 30 years. Mr. Lamb is knowledgable and efficient and I would recommend this attorney without reservation.

    Mary Morrison, Immigration Attorney on Mar 28, 2014
    Relationship: Co-worker

    With over 30 years of experience in immigration law, Jonathan is one of the few attorneys I would trust to represent my own family members. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and is as comfortable in the courtroom as he is in a USCIS interview or his own office. He is particularly skilled in asylum and removal proceedings and has a strong track record of winning difficult cases. He truly cares about his clients and their futures, and it shows in his hard work and loyal customers. I strongly recommend that anyone seeking an immigration lawyer contact Jonathan for a consultation.

    Brian Plotts, Immigration Attorney on Mar 15, 2014
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I endorse this lawyer. Jonathan is an outstanding attorney in every way. He is a good person and a dedicated, conscientious attorney. He has an IV league education (Columbia University) and has the intellect that comes from that. I would want him working for me if I had a legal problem.
