WHY CORPORATE CLIENTS CHOOSE Us
We Don’t Just Practice Immigration Law. We Leverage Federal Power.
Wester, Novak & Associates was founded on a simple truth: the immigration system breaks when people need it most. We started as federal contractors helping refugees navigate bureaucratic nightmares. Over six years, we built direct relationships with Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, State Department, and executive branch decision-makers—relationships most firms will never access in a lifetime.
Today, we focus that power on corporate America’s most urgent crisis: workforce deportation. Construction companies, manufacturers, agriculture operations, and hospitality groups with 50 to 500+ employees—many from Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean—face existential threats as enforcement intensifies.
We don’t process paperwork. We intervene federally to keep your workers employed, your families intact, and your business operational.
Corporate Workforce Defense
Strategic legal status solutions for large employers with undocumented or at-risk workforces. We leverage federal relationships to secure work permits, halt deportations, and protect your operations from catastrophic labor loss
Emergency Deportation Defense
Immediate federal intervention when ICE enforcement threatens your workforce. We leverage direct DHS and DOJ relationships to halt removal proceedings, secure emergency stays, and protect employees facing deportation to countries far from their roots.
Proactive Risk Management
Strategic defense for construction and manufacturing firms facing federal worksite enforcement actions. We protect your business from penalties, work stoppages, and mass workforce loss through federal agency advocacy and compliance expertise.
About Wester, Novak & Associates
At Wester, Novak & Associates, we believe that workers who build America’s infrastructure, feed its families, and power its economy deserve federal protection—not deportation to countries they’ve never known.
We’re not typical immigration attorneys. We’re federal contractors with proven relationships at the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. State Department, and executive agencies. For over six years, we’ve intervened at the federal level to resolve cases that standard legal channels abandon.
Our corporate immigration defense practice protects construction firms, manufacturers, agriculture operations, and large employers facing workforce deportation crises. When 50, 100, or 500+ employees—from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America—face removal proceedings, we deliver:
-
Federal advocacy that halts deportations
-
Work permit and legal status expediting
-
Strategic defense for corporate compliance
-
Mass employee legal status stabilization
We don’t just represent individuals. We protect entire workforces—and the businesses that depend on them.

Immigration Specialization
Immigration enforcement escalated. ICE raids intensified. Deportations accelerated. Standard immigration attorneys hit dead ends.
We had something they didn’t: six years of federal relationships with DOJ, DHS, DOS, and executive agencies built through federal contracting. When we saw construction companies collapse, families torn apart, and businesses destroyed—we knew our federal access needed to serve a new purpose.
We launched WNA to protect workforces. We halt deportations. We intervene federally when standard channels fail. Your business needs federal-level defense. We are that defense.
