Michael Homeier, Founding Shareholder of Homeier &
Law P.C. in Los Angeles, began his work on EB-5 issues in
2009. He was introduced to EB-5 by another Top 25 attorney
who needed securities counsel on an EB-5 case—he has been
hooked ever since.

Michael’s firm focuses on doing the same quality of work as
more expensive firms, but at middle-class prices. He handles
his cases in such a way as to make sure that all the pieces will
work together from a business perspective. This involves doing
disclosure work to make sure that potential investors can see
the risk involved with businesses along with the upsides.
EB-5 work, for Michael, is happy work—he sees his practice
as a key piece in the puzzle of successful businesses. Michael
is passionate about EB-5 because it is a way for businesses to
attain capital and a way for investors to attain U.S. visas.
Michael works to have EB-5 seen as just one piece in the
bigger picture of the business itself. He understands that his
firm is not the centerpiece of the cases he is dealing with. In
many cases, the business has existed before them, and will
hopefully exist after them—he humbly hopes to play a small
part in that business’ success.
Michael carries this positive attitude over into his personal
life, where he spends a lot of time speaking to fellow cancer
survivors. He is in the process of writing a book on his
experience surviving cancer and how he has lived in the
Jor Law may have originally stepped into EB-5 space by
accident, but it is no accident that he is now one of the most
sought after corporate & securities attorneys in the industry.
As a founding shareholder and attorney for Homeier & Law,
P.C., Jor was introduced to EB-5 just as he would have been
to any other industry project that crossed his desk.
aftermath. All his effort is worth the energy, he says, as long
as he has a positive impact.
Jor Law
Back in 2009, when he worked his first immigrant
investor case, there were very few regional centers and even
fewer individuals who realized the complexity of broker/
dealer issues within the EB-5 program. Jor was one of the first
corporate & securities attorneys to begin legally addressing
these complexities between EB-5 parties, and the deals and
projects just kept coming as the program gained popularity.
What makes Jor uniquely qualified for EB-5 cases is his
passion for business. He has always been business oriented,
giving him strength and skill as a lawyer, and is keenly
interested in start-up technology companies. Most lawyers
advise businessmen and dictate their decisions from the
removed standpoint of the law. Jor, however, approaches his
cases from a business perspective. His legal advice is a cut
above the rest because his respect for the law is coupled with
the understanding that law exists in the corporate sector to
service business, not to hinder or disable.
Jor practices in the Los Angeles office of Homeier & Law,
P.C. Jor has been recognized as being among “Southern

California’s Super Lawyers – Rising Stars” by Super Lawyers
magazine for each of the past three years.
