Let me introduce myself
Like you, my career in the legal immigration industry can be distilled down to a few major talking points.
I graduated in 1997 from the Saint Louis University School of Law. I opened my own law firm, Hacking Immigration Law, LLC, in 2007. I was named the Best Lawyer in St. Louis by the Riverfront Times (twice).
But let’s be honest, these types of highlights don’t even scratch the surface of why we got into law or what impact our work has on those around us.
In the 15+ years of running HIL, I’ve dedicated my time and energy to immigration law and helping those less fortunate than myself to become citizens of this great country. I’m passionate about uniting families and protecting rights, and I’ve made it my mission to uphold those values for those who can’t fight for themselves.
One of my favorite things to do is suing USCIS. Filing a Delay Lawsuit. And it is not just my favorite but the practice I have become an expert. We have sued USCIS over 1500+ times, so I know that is the only action proven to force USCIS to decide your case.
Having built and implemented systems to improve my law firm, I confidently manage a fantastic team of 30+ employees and spend my time helping thousands of individuals obtain their immigration benefits. We have become a team ready to help and guide your immigration process.
That’s how I make my mark as a lawyer and a human. We, my firm, and I are here to help you.

SR Testimonial
My husband and I hired Jim for his help in obtaining a green card for my husband. The situation was quite complicated and another immigration attorney even turned down our case because of those issues. We encountered a couple of difficult hurdles along the way that Jim handled with no problem whatsoever. Jim’s down to..
Donna S. Testimonial
Jim Hacking was nothing short of a miracle for us. We literally stumbled onto his name and number and he took my daughter-in-law as a client in her deportation case. I believe, with all my heart, if it weren’t for him, and him alone, my daughter-in-law would have been deported. I truly believe that there..
Joel K. Emery Testimonial
To put it mildly, handling the work visa process for something as unique as a circus artist is a daunting task, one that Jim and his associates handled marvelously.
