The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have taken a renewed interest in I-9 compliance. Agents have increased scrutiny of employers’ records in an effort to decrease the number of illegal workers in the United States. As an employer, even if you follow the law by only employing legal residents and citizens, you are still legally required to have properly completed I-9 forms for every worker at your place of business. If you do not and the government finds out, you could face heavy fines, the closure of your business and even criminal charges.
At the Tausk Law firm, we represent businesses of all sizes during I-9 investigations. Clients throughout Texas seek our services because of our established reputation in immigration law and criminal defense. While not all I-9 matters will be referred to criminal court, it is important to have a lawyer who understands the potential criminal implications so as to avoid them. If you have received notice of an I-9 audit, your best course of action is to contact us immediately.
Even if you have not been contacted by the government in regards to an I-9 investigation, it is wise to review your records carefully. Our lawyers can help complete your I-9 records and ensure you are legally compliant with the strict laws and regulations. With proper attention to compliance issues now, you can avoid an investigation in the future.
When facing an I-9 investigation, our law firm can offer the highest levels of protection. Contact our Houston I-9 audit lawyers to learn more.
