Who the client is

Someone already in the US who is afraid to return to their home country. Some arrived recently. Some have been here a while and are only now learning that asylum exists.

Before they call, they worry about:

  • Whether they waited too long to apply
  • How to prove what happened to them
  • Whether they can work while the case is pending
  • Family members still abroad
  • Cost
  • Whether the person on the phone can be trusted

Many have heard of people who paid a non-lawyer and got nothing. Seeing a real attorney's face and name matters a great deal to this client.

Channels that fit

  • Meta video ads

    best fit

    Video lets people see and hear the attorney, which matters for a client who is deciding whom to trust. An attorney on camera explaining the basics builds trust before the first call. See Facebook ads for immigration lawyers.

  • Google search ads

    strong fit

    People searching "asylum lawyer near me" want to talk now. Bids top out near $35. See Google Ads for immigration lawyers.

  • SEO

    good fit

    Pages about the application, the interview and work permits catch people in the research stage. See SEO for immigration lawyers.

  • AI search

    growing fit

    People ask AI assistants how asylum works. Clear pages give those tools an attorney to point to.

Ad angles that stay inside bar rules

  • "Afraid to return to your home country? Learn how asylum works from an immigration attorney."
  • "Thinking about applying for asylum? Timing matters. Talk with an attorney about your dates."
  • "What evidence helps an asylum application? An attorney explains."
  • "Speak with a licensed immigration attorney about your asylum questions."

No promised outcomes. No approval rates. No timelines. Nothing that pressures or alarms. Your firm approves each ad.

What intake should ask

  1. What country are you from?
  2. When did you last arrive in the US? (Timing matters and the attorney will want this first.)
  3. Has anything been filed yet?
  4. Do you have any upcoming dates or deadlines on your case?
  5. Are family members included, here or abroad?

The first contact should not ask for the full story. That belongs in a private consult with the attorney.

Speed matters more here than on most case types. A person looking for help may contact more than one firm the same day.

How we run it

  • Meta campaigns with attorney-led video and a short form.
  • Search campaigns on asylum lawyer terms in your service area.
  • The AI receptionist answers calls and chats, asks the five questions and books the consult.
  • Intake automation sends reminders so booked consults turn into attended consults.
  • Leads come from your firm's own ads and pages. They are exclusive to your firm in that sense. We do not sell shared lead lists.

Frequently asked questions

Can asylum clients afford legal fees?

It varies a lot from person to person. Ask about budget early and kindly. Your firm sets the fee policy. Intake can state it clearly.

Meta or Google for asylum?

Meta for volume and trust. Google for people ready to hire today. Running both and comparing booked consults is the safest way to decide.

How fast should we respond to an asylum lead?

As close to right away as you can. That is the main reason to have an AI receptionist on these campaigns.

What can asylum ads say without crossing bar rules?

They can explain the process and invite a consult. They cannot promise a result, quote success rates you cannot back up or create false urgency.
