Experienced Chicago Immigration Lawyer Fighting for Families Across Illinois
Gilliam Law is a family-run immigration practice based in Chicago. We represent clients in front of USCIS, the Chicago Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and ICE. Our focus is family-based immigration and the defense of people facing removal. We take cases in Chicago and Addison, Illinois, and Franklin, Tennessee, and we handle matters across the country when a client needs us to travel.
Solomon Gilliam built this firm around one idea. Families belong together. Every case we take, whether it is a marriage green card or a deportation defense hearing, comes back to that principle. We do not run a high-volume mill. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options in plain English or Spanish, and build a case you can actually follow along with.

Our second Illinois office is in Addison, serving DuPage County and the western suburbs. Our third office is in Franklin, Tennessee, serving the greater Nashville area.

Urgent cases come first. If a family member is detained by ICE, if you have a Notice to Appear in hand, or if a court date is coming up, tell us when you call. We move fast on detention and removal cases because we know the clock is already running. Bond hearings get scheduled on short notice, and the first forty-eight hours often shape the rest of the case.
For family immigration cases, the sooner we get involved, the more options you have. A consultation before you file protects you from the small mistakes that turn straightforward cases into removal proceedings. A consultation after a denial lets us figure out whether an appeal, a motion to reopen, or a refile is the right move. Either way, you walk out of the meeting knowing where you stand.
Gilliam Law serves clients from our offices in Chicago, Addison, and Franklin, Tennessee. We take cases across Illinois and Middle Tennessee, and we handle matters nationwide when a client needs us to travel. Call our office to speak with our team today.
