The short answer

From California, it handles federal immigration cases nationwide: writ of mandamus lawsuits over USCIS delays, visas, green cards, asylum, deportation defense, VAWA and employer compliance. Kamran Joya is licensed in New York, and the firm says his California practice is limited to federal immigration law. Fees are not published.

What is Joya Law Firm?

Joya Law Firm is a law practice with two halves that rarely sit under one roof. One half is a New York employment practice for workers: people who were fired, harassed, discriminated against, retaliated against or underpaid. The other half is a federal immigration practice run from California that takes clients from any state, because immigration is federal law.

The firm presents that mix as its main point of difference. Its home page calls it a "dual-practice advantage": immigrant workers who face wage theft or discrimination at work often worry that speaking up will hurt their immigration case, and the firm says it can handle both sides at once. It also says that, on the employment side, it represents employees only, never employers.

Around those two cores, the site lists three smaller areas:

Automotive and consumer law (New York only): lemon law claims for defective new and used vehicles, and dealership misrepresentation.
Contract disputes (New York): employment contracts, non-competes, severance, business contracts, and buying or selling a business.
Music and entertainment law: recording, publishing, management and licensing agreements, trademarks for artists, and O-1B visas for performers.

The site does not publish a founding year. The firm's About page describes it as led by its founding attorney with a small support team, and it has published one case result and a page of client testimonials.

Who runs Joya Law Firm?

Kamran Joya is the founding attorney. According to the firm's About page and attorney profile:

The firm describes him as "a naturalized immigrant himself" and connects that to its focus on immigrant rights.
He holds a law degree from Brunel Law School and an LL.M. from the University of San Francisco School of Law, and has completed immigration training through the University of Dayton.
He wrote a dissertation on deportation and immigrant safety.
He spent more than 20 years in the automotive industry before law, which the firm ties to its lemon law and dealership work in New York.
His employment-law interest comes, the firm says, from firsthand experience in workplaces ranging from small family businesses to large corporations.

The About page also names two paralegals:

Danielle Comerford, who holds a B.A. in Psychology from California State University, East Bay and completed paralegal training through CSUEB's ABA-approved program.
Fernanda Fonseca, who holds a B.S. in Justice Studies with a minor in Spanish from San José State University and a Paralegal Certificate from Chabot College. The site says she previously worked at the Alameda County Family Justice Center and describes her as bilingual.

No other attorneys are named on the site. If you want to know who will handle your file day to day, ask during the consultation.

Is Kamran Joya licensed in New York and California?

This is the question most worth getting right, and the firm answers it on its own pages. Its California service pages carry this line: "Kamran Joya is licensed in New York. His California practice is limited to federal immigration law."

We checked the New York State attorney registration database (published by the state on data.ny.gov). It lists Kamran Wassel Joya of Joya Law Firm as "Currently registered," admitted in 2025 through the Third Judicial Department, with Brunel Law School UK as his law school and his next registration due in May 2027.

What that means in practice:

New York state-law matters (employment claims under New York law, the New York lemon law, New York contract disputes) are handled under his New York license.
Immigration matters are federal. A lawyer licensed in any U.S. state can generally practice immigration law before federal immigration agencies and courts, which is why the firm takes immigration clients from all 50 states while working from California.
The firm does not hold itself out as handling California state-law matters (for example a California employment lawsuit or a California lemon law claim). Both California offices are labeled "Federal Immigration Practice Only" on the home page.

Is Joya Law Firm legit? What can be checked

People ask this about any firm they find online. Here is what we could confirm:

An active law license. The New York registration record described above shows Kamran Joya as currently registered, with the same firm name, Walnut Creek address and 415 phone number the website uses.
Federal court work on the public docket. The firm's Case Results page lists a habeas case, Rezaee v. Chestnut (1:26-cv-00746), in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, transferred from the Northern District of California. The public docket on CourtListener shows that case, and the related Northern District docket (Rezaee v. Bondi, 3:26-cv-00020) lists Kamran Wassel Joya as an attorney. The firm reports the result as "Habeas Petition Granted, Client Ordered Released." Past results do not predict the outcome of any other case.
Published offices and phones. The site lists a Manhattan address, two California addresses, a separate phone line for each state, and a direct email address.
Client testimonials. The Reviews page shows written testimonials from named clients, most of them about asylum and family immigration cases. These are collected and displayed by the firm itself.
Clear limits stated on its own pages. The California pages state the licensing limit plainly, and its legal guides carry a "not legal advice" notice. The FAQ page warns readers to avoid firms "that promise guaranteed outcomes."

Immigration services, one by one

The immigration practice is the larger of the two by number of pages. The firm says it serves clients in all 50 states from its Walnut Creek office. Here is what its service pages cover.

Service	What the firm says it handles
Writ of mandamus	Federal lawsuits to force USCIS, the State Department or other agencies to decide a delayed case (details below)
H-1B visas	Specialty occupation petitions, the annual lottery and cap, premium processing, transfers and extensions, RFE responses, denials, and the path from H-1B to a green card
E-1 and E-2 treaty visas	Trader and investor visas: treaty country eligibility, "substantial" investment, business plans, renewals and dependent work authorization
O-1 visas	O-1A (sciences, education, business, athletics) and O-1B (arts, film, TV), advisory opinions, evidence strategy, petitions for startup founders
L-1 visas	Intracompany transfers (L-1A managers and executives, L-1B specialized knowledge), blanket petitions, new-office petitions, and the EB-1C green card route
Dependent visas	H-4, L-2 and TD status for spouses and children, H-4 work permits, and coordinated filings with the main worker's petition
Work permits (EAD)	Form I-765 filings, renewals, the combo card, asylum- and VAWA-based EADs, and action when an EAD is delayed
Family green cards	Marriage cases (in the U.S. or abroad), K-1 fiancé visas, petitions for parents, siblings and children, and Form I-751 to remove conditions
Employment green cards	EB-1 extraordinary ability, EB-2 National Interest Waiver (self-petition), EB-3 PERM, EB-5 investor
Waivers	I-601 and I-601A waivers of inadmissibility
Citizenship	Naturalization applications, document gathering, interview and test preparation, and representation at the interview
Visitors, students, change of status	B-1/B-2 visitor visas, F-1 student visas, J-1 waivers, extensions and changes of status
Humanitarian relief	Affirmative and defensive asylum, VAWA self-petitions, U visa related matters, deportation defense (details below)

Marriage green cards. The firm's page walks through the two tracks (adjustment of status for a spouse in the U.S., consular processing for a spouse abroad), conditional versus permanent green cards, the marriage interview (what officers ask, what to bring), responses to Requests for Evidence, and the I-751 filing two years later, including waivers when the couple can't file jointly. It lists interview coaching among its services.

EB-2 National Interest Waiver. The page explains the three-part Matter of Dhanasar test, who counts as an advanced-degree professional or a person of exceptional ability, typical fields (STEM, healthcare research, clean energy, education, cybersecurity, entrepreneurship), and the main appeal: no employer sponsor or labor certification is needed.

Citizenship. The naturalization page describes a five-stage process: an initial audit of your history, filing, biometrics, the interview and civics test, and the oath ceremony. It also covers the "good moral character" requirement and disability exceptions.

Writ of mandamus for delayed immigration cases

The firm calls mandamus "a core part of our immigration practice," and it is the first immigration service in the site's menu. A writ of mandamus is a federal lawsuit that asks a judge to order a government agency to make a decision it has failed to make. As the firm explains it, the lawsuit does not ask the court to approve your application, only to make the agency decide it.

Situations the firm lists as possible mandamus cases:

A green card application pending more than a year with no explanation, especially a marriage case stuck after the I-485 interview.
A naturalization case with no decision 120 days after the citizenship interview.
An asylum applicant who has waited four or more years for an interview, or six or more months for a decision after it.
A case stuck in "administrative processing" for months after a consular interview abroad.
EB-5 investor cases, U visa work permits, and EAD applications pending well past published processing times.

The firm's five-step process: (1) case evaluation of your filing dates, receipt notices and agency contact; (2) administrative remedies first, such as a formal inquiry, a USCIS Ombudsman request or a congressional inquiry; (3) drafting and filing a complaint in the right U.S. District Court; (4) the government's response, which the firm says typically comes within about 60 days of service; (5) litigation or resolution. The firm's own timeline estimates 60 to 90 days from filing to the government's response, and 4 to 12 months for cases that go through full litigation.

The firm notes that mandamus can be filed for applicants who are outside the United States (for example, a case stuck at a consulate), and that its page discusses the six "TRAC" factors courts weigh when deciding whether a delay is unreasonable. It also states that there are no guarantees in any litigation.

Asylum, deportation defense and VAWA

Asylum. The firm handles both affirmative asylum (applying with USCIS while in the U.S.) and defensive asylum (applying in immigration court as a defense to removal). Most of the client testimonials on its Reviews page are from asylum clients.

Deportation defense. The firm's deportation defense page covers:

Notices to Appear and representation in immigration court (EOIR).
Bond hearings for people detained by ICE, naming California detention centers such as Adelanto and Otay Mesa.
Other relief besides asylum, such as cancellation of removal.
"Crimmigration": how a criminal plea can affect immigration status.
Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and petitions for review in the Ninth Circuit.

VAWA self-petitions. The VAWA page explains that certain abuse survivors (spouses, former spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of adult U.S. citizens, where the abuser is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) can petition on their own without the abuser's involvement, and that this applies regardless of gender. It sets out a seven-step path from a confidential consultation through the I-360 petition, the prima facie determination and the green card application. It explains USCIS's confidentiality rules and lists free 24/7 safety hotlines, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233).

Services for employers: visas and I-9 compliance

Although the New York employment practice represents only employees, the immigration practice also works with businesses. Its corporate immigration page describes services for "California and nationwide employers":

I-9 audits: a review of every active Form I-9 for completeness, document acceptance and reverification, plus a check of storage and retention.
I-9 training for HR staff and hiring managers, including the anti-discrimination rules on which documents can be requested.
Public Access File audits for employers that sponsor H-1B, H-1B1 or E-3 workers.
Merger and acquisition due diligence on immigration liabilities.
Recordkeeping systems for I-9s, visa expiration tracking and audit readiness.
Help responding to an ICE Notice of Inspection, including contesting penalties.
Executive briefings and post-audit remediation training.

Employers can also use the firm for sponsorship itself: H-1B, L-1 (including blanket and new-office petitions), O-1, E-2, and PERM-based green cards. The firm also has an article for California employers on sponsoring foreign workers.

New York employment law services

The home page leads with this practice: "New York Employment Lawyers Protecting Your Workplace Rights." The firm says it represents employees across New York City and New York State, and that it relies on the New York State Human Rights Law and New York City Human Rights Law as well as federal law.

Practice area	What the firm's page covers
Wrongful termination	Firing for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons, breach of an employment contract, whistleblower retaliation; the evidence the firm gathers; remedies such as back pay, front pay and reinstatement
Sexual harassment	Quid pro quo and hostile work environment harassment, the 2019 to 2023 changes to New York law, how to document and report, and the four places a complaint can be filed (NYC Commission on Human Rights, NYS Division of Human Rights, EEOC, or court)
Workplace discrimination	Claims based on sex or gender, age, criminal conviction, disability, national origin, race, pregnancy and religion, with separate pages for age, disability, pregnancy and race discrimination
Retaliation and whistleblowing	Adverse action after reporting harassment, unpaid wages or illegal conduct
Wage theft and unpaid overtime	Unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, tip theft, misclassification as an independent contractor, off-the-clock work, illegal deductions and final paycheck problems; filing with the NY Department of Labor or in court
Hostile work environment	Claims under city and state protections
Severance agreements	Reviewing and negotiating severance, red flags in release and non-compete clauses, protections for workers over 40 under the OWBPA, and what to do if you already signed
Employment contracts and non-competes	Contract review, non-compete agreements and disputes

How the firm describes its approach. Its New York employment page lists three stages: investigation (gathering emails, interviewing witnesses, rebuilding the timeline), negotiation (many employment cases settle), and litigation in state or federal court if no fair settlement is offered.

Deadlines. The firm's pages stress that New York employment claims have filing deadlines that vary by claim and by agency, and its sexual harassment page sets out the deadline for each filing route. If you think you have a claim, check the deadline that applies to you with a lawyer promptly.

Severance negotiation. The severance page lays out six steps: a full review of the agreement, an evaluation of any underlying claims you may be giving up, a calculation of fair value, a counter-proposal, negotiation, and the final agreement.

Lemon law and contract disputes in New York

Lemon law (New York only). The firm's lemon law page covers the New York new-car lemon law (General Business Law § 198-a), the used-car lemon law (§ 198-b) and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act as a backup. It describes a four-step path: document every repair attempt, notify the manufacturer, choose between the state Attorney General's arbitration program and a lawsuit, and receive the remedy (refund, replacement or a negotiated cash settlement). The firm also takes cases where a dealership misrepresented a vehicle. Its founder's two decades in the automotive industry are part of how it presents this practice.

Contract disputes. The New York services page lists breach of contract, business disputes, buying and selling a business, and contract drafting and review. The dedicated contract dispute page covers employment contracts, non-competes, severance, independent contractor agreements, business contracts and music industry contracts, and walks through the litigation path from a demand letter through negotiation, filing, discovery, motions, and trial or settlement.

Music and entertainment law

Kamran Joya's profile says he practices music law federally, including in California. The firm says it works with recording artists, producers, record and publishing companies, managers, live event producers and promoters, songwriters and distribution companies. Its listed services:

Recording, publishing, co-publishing and administration agreements
Management, agency, producer and distribution agreements
Live performance, merchandising and sponsorship agreements
Synchronization licenses and performing rights issues
Copyright protection and trademarks for artist and band names
Royalty disputes and collection
Business formation: LLCs for artists, joint ventures, publishing companies and independent labels
O-1B visas for international artists, which links the music practice to the immigration practice

The advance parole travel guide

When we checked, the firm's site carried a banner about holiday travel and a guide titled "Traveling on Advance Parole After August 13, 2026," dated 15 September 2026. It explains that on 13 August 2026 the Board of Immigration Appeals decided Matter of Delcarmen-Lara, and it quotes the USCIS alert that departing the U.S. after obtaining advance parole now counts as a departure for the unlawful presence bars. The guide's main message: if you have a pending green card or asylum case, talk to a lawyer before you book any trip abroad. A companion page gathers related topics (combo cards, H-1B and L-1 travel, dependent visas, marriage cases) in the order questions come up over the season.

The guide says it is general information and not legal advice. If you are planning travel with a pending case, read it on the firm's site and get your own history reviewed.

How much does Joya Law Firm cost?

Joya Law Firm does not publish a fee schedule. Here is everything the site says about cost, page by page:

Matter	What the site says about fees
First consultation	The home page advertises "Free Initial Consultations," and the New York pages say "Schedule a Free Consultation." Confirm when booking that this applies to your type of matter.
Immigration cases in general	"Costs vary depending on the type and complexity of the case. Some services are offered at flat rates, while others may involve additional fees based on the work required."
Mandamus lawsuit	Attorney fees plus the federal court filing fee, which the firm gives as $405. A fee estimate is given at the consultation.
Sexual harassment	"Many sexual harassment cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf."
Wage theft	Often handled on contingency or with fees recovered from the employer, "so you pay nothing out of pocket to get started."
Lemon law	The firm offers a "no-cost risk assessment" and notes that New York and federal lemon laws let a consumer who wins recover reasonable attorney's fees from the manufacturer.
Severance review	"We discuss costs upfront so there are no surprises."
Music and entertainment	Fees are discussed at the initial consultation.

What affects price. From the firm's own descriptions: the type of case, how complex it is, whether it settles or goes to court, and, for immigration, the government filing fees for your forms, which are separate from attorney fees. Payment methods and payment plans are not described on the site.

How to get a number. Book the consultation and ask for the fee arrangement in writing: flat fee, hourly or contingency, what it covers, and which government or court fees you pay on top.

What happens when you contact the firm

Reach out. Call the office for your state, email, or send the online form. The form has an optional topic menu.
Consultation. According to the firm's FAQ, a consultation reviews your situation, identifies possible options and outlines next steps. Expect questions about your background, your timeline and any prior filings.
Bring your paperwork. For immigration: receipt notices, approval or denial notices, your I-94 history, past visas and any court papers. For employment: your offer letter or contract, pay records, performance reviews, any severance agreement, and notes or messages about what happened.
Fee agreement. If you go ahead, agree on the fee arrangement before work starts.
The work itself. This depends on the matter: preparing and filing a petition, exhausting administrative steps before a mandamus suit, sending a demand letter in a contract case, filing with an agency in a discrimination case, or negotiating severance.

Each service page on the site has its own step-by-step section (mandamus, VAWA, marriage green cards, naturalization, lemon law, severance, contract litigation), and those are worth reading before your call.

How it compares with other options

Option	What you get	Typical trade-off
Joya Law Firm	A small firm with a named founding attorney, New York employment work and federal immigration work under one roof, plus federal court experience for mandamus and habeas	Licensed in New York only, so California work is limited to federal immigration; a small team
A large immigration firm	Big teams, often high-volume business immigration	Less likely to also handle a worker's employment claim; you may deal mostly with staff
A large plaintiff-side employment firm	Many lawyers and trial resources	Usually no in-house immigration help for immigrant workers
A nonprofit legal aid organization	Free or low-cost help	Eligibility limits and waiting lists; may not take every case type
Doing it yourself (USCIS forms, agency complaints)	No attorney fees	You carry the risk of mistakes; the firm's FAQ notes that prior denials and status issues can complicate "simple" cases
A non-lawyer form preparer	Help filling out forms	Cannot give legal advice or represent you in court

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere

A good fit if you…

Work in New York and have a wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage or severance issue
Are an immigrant worker with both a workplace problem and an immigration case
Have an immigration case stuck well past processing times and want to know if mandamus is an option

Are a family, professional or investor seeking a visa or green card, in any state
Run a business that needs I-9 compliance help or visa sponsorship
Bought a defective vehicle in New York
Are a musician or producer who needs a contract reviewed or an O-1B visa

Need help with a California state-law matter, such as a California employment lawsuit or lemon law claim
Are an employer defending a workplace claim (the firm represents employees only on that side)
Need criminal defense, family law or personal injury representation, which are not listed services
Want a published price list before you call
Need a lawyer licensed in a state other than New York for a state-law issue
