When AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini are asked to recommend immigration law firms, Fragomen comes up most often, capturing 12.5% of all AI visibility across the 20 firms tracked. Greenberg Traurig and Wolfsdorf Rosenthal round out the top three, appearing regularly across multiple AI platforms when buyers search for immigration legal help.
The rankings reflect which sources AI engines trust most when forming their answers. The top cited domains include bestlawfirms.com (an aggregator and ranking site), tryalma.com, klaskolaw.com, beyondborderglobal.com, and YouTube. Because aggregator and review sites carry significant weight here, firms with strong third-party validation and consistent presence on those platforms earn more AI mentions, regardless of firm size.
For a buyer using this page, one practical filter is third-party validation depth. AI engines favor firms that appear repeatedly on independent review and ranking sites, not just firms with polished websites. Before committing, check whether the firm you are considering has current, substantive reviews on recognized platforms and whether it has published topical content covering your specific visa category or immigration situation.
At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Fragomen stands alone as the only brand in this 20-firm category with a positive visibility score, recording 12.5% on both visibility and citation metrics. The category average visibility is just 0.6%, meaning Fragomen is more than 20 times above the average. That gap is structurally significant: a buyer using Google AI Mode for immigration law research will encounter Fragomen by name in narrative responses, while most competitors receive no named mention at all.
A sharp divergence exists between being cited and being visible. Greenberg Traurig and Wolfsdorf Rosenthal both carry citation rates of 25%, higher than Fragomen, yet their visibility scores are 0.0%. This means Google AI Mode pulls their content as a source but does not surface their brand names in the generated answer text. Citation without visibility reflects a trust-without-recognition dynamic that inflates composite scores for those two firms without translating into buyer-facing brand exposure.
Google AI Mode is the top engine across every brand in this dataset, confirming the audit is effectively single-engine. The cited sources list includes tryalma.com, bestlawfirms.com, chambers.com, and beyondborderglobal.com alongside firm-owned domains, suggesting AI responses in this category are anchored on third-party directory and ranking sites rather than firm websites exclusively. YouTube also appears in the cited sources list, which is an unusual signal for a professional legal services category.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
