Background & Turning Point

Growing fast meant working smarter

Running a high-volume immigration practice means managing hundreds of moving parts at once, in a world where every detail and deadline matters.

Four years ago, Canero Fadul Reis Law in Miami was at a crossroads. They were growing fast, handling a high case volume across employment, family, and humanitarian matters. 

For Ana Cristina Fontes, practicing immigration law is about more than forms and filings. Her role as Legal Team Manager is part strategist, part operations lead, and part problem-solver, proof that thriving immigration practices aren’t just about lawyering; they’re about running a smart business.

Ana Cristina's job is to make sure the staff has everything they need—resources, technology, tools—in order to get cases out in the fastest time possible. She saw that basic case management tools weren’t going to cut it. They needed an intuitive, data-driven system that would grow with them.

She chose eimmigration.

“eimmigration just made the most sense for us. In addition to the form capabilities, it gives us a centralized place to put everything and has an advanced reporting component that we use daily. Everything is there. It's genius. It definitely makes our firm more profitable."

Solution

A morning ritual that keeps everyone productive

Every day at Canero Fadul Reis starts the same way: Ana Cristina pulls up her dashboard to get a 360-degree view of the firm’s workload.

  • Who has what cases?
  • What deadlines are coming up?
  • Where might someone need backup?

When someone's drowning in deadlines, having this data close at hand means that leadership can make smart decisions about where to jump in and support the team. This detailed level of reporting gives Ana Cristina the clarity she needs to allocate resources who can serve clients while mitigating burnout on her team. 

Operating as a well-oiled legal machine, Canero Fadul Reis has the bandwidth to adopt the latest tools that make their workflows even more efficient.

"I'm looking at what cases each legal team member has, how many they need to file, what their due dates are. It’s how we make sure everyone stays on top of their cases. When someone says they're overworked, we can actually see what they have and figure out what's really urgent versus what can wait. It helps us help our staff."

Features that streamline and accelerate casework

Ana Cristina and her team use eimmigration for just about everything, including:

  • Managing client records
  • Completing client intakes
  • Automatically populating immigration forms
  • e-Filing immigration forms
  • Scanning USCIS receipts to client profiles
  • Tracking USCIS status updates
  • WhatsApp integration

Canero Fadul Reis doesn't just use technology—they actively shape where it's going. They're eager to use new capabilities as soon as they're released. Ana Cristina couldn't wait to get her fingers on Report.AI so she could ask for reports similar to how she uses ChatGPT.  

Results

Centralization delivers uninterrupted service

It happens all the time in immigration law: one client needs guidance on multiple matters. Maybe it's an employment visa today and a family petition next month. Different cases, different deadlines, sometimes different team members.
"We have lots of clients with multiple services, and not necessarily the same paralegal or attorney working on each case. Having everything in one centralized place means we never lose track of anything."

Ana Cristina Fontes

At many firms, that’s a recipe for confusion. At Canero Fadul Reis, it's just Tuesday.

Even if a team member leaves the firm, clients never have to explain their story again. All intake data, notes, and case details are logged in eimmigration, making handoffs seamless.

The ultimate payoff comes in the form of dramatic efficiency gains.

300% faster form preparation compared to manual work

Centralized client records ensure seamless transitions across team members

AI automation reduces data-entry errors and saves hours of staff time

Robust reporting drives smarter staffing and prioritization

Increased firm profitability
