Our Experience

Stientjes & Tolu LLC is a firm with national practice focusing on application of immigration and tax laws to foreign nationals.  The firm is centrally located in St. Louis, Missouri, and represents businesses and individuals throughout the United States and around the world. Since it is at the federal level, immigration and federal tax laws are not restricted by the laws or borders of any state. Our firm provides personal client services, and every client of the firm works directly with an experienced immigration and tax attorney.

Our Philosophy

The cornerstone of our success is based on simple but very effective principles: establishing a rapport with the client, defining the attorney-client relationship and scope of representation, gathering facts about the client's case, reviewing relevant facts, identifying and researching relevant law, explaining the law to the client, identifying and ranking the client’s goals, creating realistic expectations, assessing potential risks, choosing the best strategy for the client’s legal problem and providing the best course of action at a reasonable price.

Our Practice

We represent employers in obtaining immigrant and non-immigrant work visas, individuals in obtaining family visas for relatives abroad, and foreign students and trainees in seeking visas to pursue their respective endeavors in the United States. We have been extremely successful in immigration litigation involving adjudication of delayed naturalization and adjustment of status applications in federal courts. In addition, we work closely with foreign nationals facing criminal convictions, to minimize the negative impact of criminal violations on their immigration history.  We also represent foreign nationals in the areas of federal income, gift and international taxation at all levels of the Internal Revenue Service review and in the United States Tax Court.  

Over the years we established affiliation with experienced translators and interpreters. We offer services in Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, French, Bosnian, Spanish, Chinese and German languages.
