About Stephen Arnold Black

I have been practicing Personal Injury and Immigration Law for over 35 years. Throughout my career, I have been honored with several awards including the Wiley W. Manuel Pro Bono Award for Legal Services, the Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction Award, and three American Jurisprudence Awards for achieving the top grades in three of my Law School classes. I am a member of the State Bars of Florida and Texas, The Orange County Bar, The American Immigration Lawyers Association, The American Bar Association, and the U.S District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts in Florida.In my personal injury practice, I operate on a contingency fee basis, which means clients pay nothing unless they win. My practice primarily focuses on handling cases involving car accidents, slips and falls, trips and falls, security negligence, sexual abuse, premises liability, dog bites, theme park accidents, funeral home misconduct, and other negligence cases.For immigration matters, I offer services on a flat-fee basis to provide clear pricing for clients. My focus is on family-based immigration, including spousal, fiancé, and immediate relative visas. I represent clients across all 50 states and internationally, and I am dedicated to making the immigration process smooth and accessible. Visit my website www.barristerblack.com

Working with Stephen Black was an absolute pleasure. He helped my wife and I take what felt like an overwhelming journey and simplify it. He helped every step of the way, answered all our questions in a timely manner and brought a wealth of knowledge to help us in the process. Even from the beginning consultation, Stephen was kind, professional and knowledgeable about all the different policies and things that we would need in order to file. He understood that each case was unique and sought to understand our concerns and circumstances to see how he could help us on our journey. He was also so invested in our journey and compassionate for us. He made us feel valued and provided us with feedback, reminders and encouragement along the way. We both cannot thank Stephen enough for everything. Thank you for being understanding and caring about our success. We highly recommend him for all your immigration needs.

i met Stephen last august on this web when i got my US citizinship. So my mum had overstay her tourist visa for some reason. When i stated talking to many lawer all of them were having different answer.But the only one that was very optimist and helpfull was Stephen even if mr and my family were scare because we had never deal with a lawer. so to cut the story short Stephen gave Us plenty answer to all our questions. Then we move on with him for about 8months .he did everything necessary for my mum to have her Green Card without no issue. he was keeping us update with everything. from Florida to my hometown Randallstown (Maryland) Stephen did all his best. He is very cheap depending of cases. Thank you for everything Stephen .i recomand Stephen for all Immigration cases. he is the best

I had previously spoken (by email) to several firms about my case. None wanted to take. When I spoke to Steve Black, his first response was that he wanted to help me. I always had a quick response from him regarding questions about the case. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone with a personal injury case.

I hired Steve for my immigration case to sponsor my bride to get her green card. I am a US citizen and my bride was from Romania and we wanted to process the visa in London where I was stationed for my job. Other lawyers said Alina would have to process at the Consulate in Romania, her home country. Thank God I found Steve. Steve worked the system so we actually did process in London, saving us enormous travel costs and border crossings. I highly recommend Steve for your Immigration case!!!

Attorney Black wasn't our initial choice but after our phone chat it was obvious he was our man. Our case wasn't Slam/ Dunk (many gray areas) yet we won on account of his insightful book smarts & tenacious negotiations/ dealings with the counter party. Highly Recommended!
