Philadelphia Immigration Lawyers
Federal Immigration Litigation, Local Philadelphia Access
Most Philadelphia immigration firms focus on routine filings. Henry & Grogan goes further. Our founding partners, Michael S. Henry and Devin E. Grogan, have obtained emergency injunctions in federal court to stop deportations, argued before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, filed mandamus actions to seek resolution of stalled applications, and built a distinct practice representing juveniles in state court proceedings to secure Special Immigrant Juvenile status. We represent individuals, families, and employers before USCIS and immigration courts across the country, all at affordable rates.
Michael S. Henry has been practicing law since graduating from Temple University Law School in 1987. He’s admitted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Middle Districts of Pennsylvania and the District of New Jersey, and before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s successfully overturned state regulations through appellate advocacy, and his cases continue to be cited in both state and federal courts. Devin E. Grogan has been practicing immigration law since graduating from Temple University Law School in 2017. She’s admitted in Pennsylvania, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the Third Circuit. She’s a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the American Bar Association, and before law school, she spent two years as an AmeriCorps Construction Crew Leader at Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia.
There’s a meaningful difference between an immigration firm that only files petitions and one that also litigates in federal court. We do both, and that distinction matters when a case gets complicated. Devin has personally attended hundreds of USCIS interviews alongside clients, and that familiarity with how those interviews unfold shapes how we prepare everyone who walks in with us. When applications stall for months or years, we don’t wait. We file mandamus actions in federal court to seek a decision. And when removal is imminent, Devin has obtained emergency injunctions to stop it. Past results include dismissals, reversals, and emergency stays of deportation.
Michael also performs pro bono work through Catholic Social Services and serves on the Board of Directors of Discovery Ministries, Inc. Both partners are committed to the Philadelphia community they work in, not just the clients who walk through the door. If your situation doesn’t fit neatly into one category, that’s fine. Call us and we can tell you how we can help. We offer free initial consultations so you can understand where you stand before deciding what to do next.

Immigration Services We Offer in Philadelphia
We handle the full range of immigration cases for individuals, families, and employers. Family-based cases include spousal and K-1 visas, marriage-based green cards, and petitions for parents, children, and siblings. Employment-based work covers H-1B visas for specialty occupations, L-1 intracompany transfers, labor certifications, and alien worker visas. We also advise hospitals and companies on structuring remote and hybrid work arrangements for foreign national employees without running afoul of immigration law requirements. That employer-side advisory work is a distinct part of our practice.
When someone is detained by immigration authorities, speed matters. We help families seek release through immigration bond hearings and, when necessary, habeas corpus petitions in federal court. This federal court capability is part of the services we offer. For those facing removal, we pursue available avenues, including cancellation of removal, other forms of relief from removal, and emergency stays when the timeline is urgent. We represent clients before immigration courts nationwide, not just here in Philadelphia.
Our asylum practice covers cases involving persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Our naturalization practice guides green card holders from eligibility review through the oath ceremony. Devin has also developed a distinct practice representing juveniles in state court custody and guardianship proceedings to secure Special Immigrant Juvenile status, navigating family court and immigration court simultaneously for clients who need both systems to work together.

Immigration cases move on their own timelines, and delays in getting legal help can close off options that were available earlier. Whether you’re in Philadelphia or elsewhere in the region, Henry & Grogan is ready to review your situation.
