Key takeaways
Both firms can help with immigration needs, but they represent two distinct approaches.
Marble is positioned as a broader legal services option, where immigration can sit alongside related areas like family law, which can be useful when your situation touches multiple aspects of your life simultaneously (for example, a marriage change that affects your status).
Wildes & Weinberg is positioned as a long-established immigration and nationality specialty firm. Its public materials describe a practice dedicated to immigration and nationality law for decades, serving both individuals and corporate clients, supported by an international office presence.
Below are eight practical factors that tend to matter most when you’re deciding who to work with. The goal is not to score points, but to help you match the firm to your needs and preferences.
This is the cleanest differentiator.
If you want immigration-only depth, specialization can be a deciding factor. If you want coordination with other legal needs, breadth can be the deciding factor.
If in-person access matters to you, the office footprint becomes meaningful.
Some people want a firm that primarily supports individuals; others want a firm that regularly handles corporate programs as well.
Legacy is not automatically better, but it can matter for some clients, especially if your case is complex and you want a firm that has been immigration-only for decades.
You’ll still want to look at the specific attorney(s) you would work with, but you can often learn a lot from how a firm describes its bench and focus.
Fees in immigration matters can vary widely based on complexity, timing, and procedural posture. Still, the difference often lies in whether a firm tries to make pricing easier to understand up front.
This is often the day-to-day difference you’ll feel most.
| Factor | Marble | Wildes & Weinberg |
|---|---|---|
| Practice focus | Multi-practice, including immigration \+ family law | Immigration & nationality only |
| Firm positioning | Modern, platform-supported client experience | Long-standing immigration specialty practice |
| Offices | Built for virtual-first access | Offices listed across NY, NJ, Miami, LA, Denver, Tel Aviv |
| Typical fit | Immigration that overlaps with life/family changes or needs coordination | Immigration-only representation, including corporate and complex matters |
| Pricing visibility | Publicly describes a service-based approach | Fees are typically confirmed after intake/consult |
Before you pick, it helps to name what you actually want from the relationship.
If you want a single place to coordinate multiple legal needs, Marble’s model can be appealing, especially when immigration issues overlap with family changes, and you want fewer handoffs between providers.
If you want immigration-only specialization and you value a firm that positions itself around decades of immigration and nationality work plus a multi-office presence, Wildes & Weinberg is built around that identity.
Different models shine in different situations. Here’s how to think about it.
If your case is primarily personal (such as family-based pathways, status changes tied to relationships, or individual filings), your decision often comes down to whether to coordinate or specialize.
If an employer is involved, you may care about a firm’s corporate immigration experience and how regularly they work with businesses.
For complex matters, many people prioritize experience in high-stakes procedural environments and the depth that comes from immigration-only practice.
Cost is not only the fee, but it’s also the friction: time, coordination, and uncertainty.
If you value knowing the cost structure earlier, Marble’s service-based pricing approach may feel easier to navigate at the start.
If you value immigration-only depth and a multi-office specialty firm presence, you may decide that a traditional intake-to-fee approach is acceptable, especially if your matter is complex and you want the kind of specialization Wildes & Weinberg emphasizes in its public materials.
This is where you should be honest about your preferences. Do you want remote-first convenience or traditional office access?
If your goal is a modern process and coordinated support, Marble can make sense. Here are common fit signals:
If your priority is immigration-only specialization and a long-standing specialty practice model, Wildes & Weinberg may fit better:
Marble and Wildes & Weinberg serve different client preferences, even when the goal (solving an immigration problem) overlaps.
If you want a more modern, coordinated experience, especially where immigration may overlap with family-related issues, Marble’s broader legal services model can be a practical fit. If you want immigration and nationality specialization backed by decades of focus and a multi-office footprint, Wildes & Weinberg is built around that identity.
