The rules and regulations that govern living, working, or purchasing property in the United States can be time consuming and overwhelming. Spend your time doing what you do best and let us do what we do best.

We’re good at what we do:

• Deciphering the visa process and helping you achieve the best solutions for you, your family or your business 
• Understanding the legalities of owning U.S. property as a non-resident
• Navigating the complexities of starting and managing a U.S. business 

If your personal or business plans include living, working or investing in the United States, we assist with strategies that open doors for you and and avoid costly pitfalls.

It’s not just about paperwork. It’s about understanding your unique story and ambitions and helping you get to where you want to be as smoothly as possible.

Let us Guide You:

• Personalized Visa Plans: One size does not fit all. Your journey deserves attention to detail and solutions that work for your company or personal life. That may involve creating a path to U.S. residency - or optimizing your ability to visit without incurringing the obligations of residency.
• Comprehensive Representation in Other Areas of the Law: Whether you are starting a new business venture or purchasing property for personal reasons, we can assist you with market entry into the U.S.A. and the legal complexities of buying and owning property as a non-resident.  
• Global Perspective: Our international background and decades of serving clients from all corners of the globe mean sensitivity to cultural issues, the immigrant experience and creating a holistic approach that ensures educated decisions.

Welcome to Henning Law Firm PLLC, where nothing gives us greater satisfaction than assisting our clients in realizing their very own personal, professional or commercial goals in the United States. 

Henning Law Firm is guided by Ms. Henning’s own background as an immigrant, her service as former Honorary Consul of Germany in Florida, and her experience as a practicing attorney. Her background provides a unique perspective when it comes to the legal and cultural aspects of navigating market entry, establishing lasting business and personal relationships, and raising a family in the United States. Her approach to the practice is based on her appreciation for the opportunities the United States offers to newcomers as well as a deep respect for the contributions that immigrants have made and continue to make to this country. Based on this philosophy, the firm focuses on designing tailored visa and immigration strategies and counseling clients in areas of property ownership and U.S. market entry for business ventures in the United States.

What sets us apart?

When it comes to moving your life to the United States, we have answers to the questions you may not even know to ask. Particularly for investors and immigrants from Civil Law countries, the U.S. common law legal system presents challenges that should not be underestimated. Our holistic approach takes into account our clients’ individual goals and addresses complexities such as tax and estate planning considerations as well as corporate, contractual, intellectual property, and other aspects of the law. We work with a network of like-minded specialists who ensure you receive personalized guidance every step of the way. 

What we do not do:

While we stand ready to help you with all the legal challenges of coming to the United States, neither the firm nor Ms. Henning provide any financial advice or investment recommendations. All financial decisions are made by clients or in concert with their independently selected or retained licensed investment advisors or real estate brokers.

I was referred to Norma Henning by my CPA, who spoke highly about her knowledge when it comes to visa and immigration matters. I wanted to move from Germany to the US and was looking for the best way to get my visa or even permanent resident card (green card). She analyzed my professional background and found that I qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability in my field.

Now some time ago, I opened my own consulting firm and get to contribute my experience and skills to U.S. clients while enjoying the flexibility that permanent residence brings with it.  Traveling back and forth to Europe has been possible even during the pandemic, and I am very grateful to Ms. Henning for guiding and supporting me and my wife throughout the process.

She has shown so much knowledge and experience in this matter, that I always felt like I was in the best of hands. And she navigated all matters of the process at the very high standard which I expected as an executive manager. Also, it has been a lot of fun to work with Norma Henning and I have recommended her in the past more than a dozen times to friends and other entrepreneurs.

The immigration process can be a stressful and challenging journey. This is exactly how I felt before I met Norma Henning. I was going through a rough divorce, had an arrest record and did not have any family around. I was not sure if I would be able to have my case approved. Norma was able to prepare everything. She assured and supported me throughout the entire process. After going through another similar process without an attorney, this was a completely unique experience to have Norma by my side attending my interviews in the USCIS. She was like Immigration Fairy Godmother who made things magically happen.

I am beyond grateful for all the professionalism and care that Norma always provided. After receiving my green card and citizenship, I referred Norma to my parents to apply for their green cards. It was also a challenging case due to my father’s military background. But her level of experience and expertise helped us get the application done the right way. I told Norma once that I trusted her 110% and if she told me to dress up as a clown for the interview, I would have done it because she knows best. Do not hesitate, get your case managed by a professional immigration attorney who cares!

It was a pleasure to work with Mrs. Henning from the initial consultation until the day our case was approved and green card was in our hand. 

She was always very accessible, responsive, and reliable, and was an extremely knowledgeable resource on timelines, procedures, current immigration laws and what to expect from the process from start to finish. 

Most important for us is the fact that Mrs. Henning was efficient and timely in preparing the paperwork and forms for every stage of the application and was diligent and thorough in creating a comprehensive case file to ensure we were providing all information necessary for a successful adjudication of our case. 

She was on top of things every step of the way and we knew we could rely on her to make sure everything was taken care. We were in fantastic hands and would not hesitate to highly recommend working with her to anyone. Thanks so much.
