  • I recommend Philip Curtis.
  • I used Philip 1-6 months ago.
  • Philip handled my Immigration matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I needed to apply for a greencard for my wife who is a foreign national, and I was concerned about whether or not she would be eligible due to certain circumstances which I will omit here.

I found Phil's immigration visa videos on Youtube. The videos, which were very informative and easy to understand, showed me that Phil was an excellent communicator and well versed on immigration matters.

I looked at a few other services but ultimately decided to give Phil a call.

From the start, Phil put my concerns at ease. He was professional and patient with me, and never rushed me along during our phone talks when I had a great many questions.

I feel like having Phil do our application was worth it. First, there is the feeling of 'ease' knowing that our application was in good hands -- the hands of a professional who has handled many, many cases like mine before.

Some people choose to do the application themselves. I actually met someone in my community who tried to do that, and got themselves into a whole heap of un-neccessary trouble with immigration due to mistakes in the paperwork. Ultimately, those mistakes ended up costing them several times the amount they would have paid if they had gone with a pro like Phil, plus they had to get a signature from the Senator just to prevent deportation!

Hearing stories like that makes me doubly assured that I made the right choice. Immigration is not something you want to do yourself. You really do need to find a pro, and let them do what they do best.

I highly recommend Phil. He is kind, polite, patient, trustworthy, and RESPONSIVE!

Thank you Phil, for putting my concerns at ease, and helping my wife get her Greencard so fast. We are very grateful to you.

Regards,
Eric T.

Great Knowledge in handling cases and very quick in response.

  • I used Philip 6-12 months ago.
  • Philip handled my Immigration matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
After going it alone without a lawyer we came unstuck and USCIS we issued an order for me to go back to Australia. We hire Philip Curtis mainly because he had a money back guarantee, not that we were looking to save our money but we wanted someone who was confident in the law and knew what we were doing. Philips communication was great and kept us inform every step of the way. Even though his services cost money I believe he saved us money aswell as USCIS asked for information that was going to cost us another $500 and Philip basically issued them and order to proceed - he was great. Anyway I have my greencard now after about 4-5 months from engaging in Philip's service

Excellent!

Client Review:
I have to say when a friend of ours recommended Mr. Curtis to us, we were a bit nervous on using an attorney. My husband needed help with immigration services and I had no clue on where to turn. Mr. Curtis made the whole process easy and I will recommend him to anyone who will listen. He answered any of our questions, and took the time to call us. Thanks again Mr. Curtis.

very reliable lawyer

  • Philip handled my Immigration matter.

Client Review:
first i have to say that Philip has completely changed my opinion of "normal" lawyer. when i wanted to start to apply for my green card, i sent tons of emails to different lawyers that i could find online. some of them "kindly" replied me with some kind of standard answear telling me that i have to pay however much money to further discuss about my case. i was pretty upset because i wasnt enough sure if i even had a real case (i could go back home after my stay). then he replied me almost the next day i sent him the email, use red color to mark all the quesitons i had. after having known better about my situation i signed up his service which turned out to be VERY useful for me.

later on, he helped me step by step professionally and patiently. im the kind of person who likes to fully participate on my case, he would always reply my email asap and send me some links with very valuable information.

in the end, i got my interview within 3 months (which i have heard to be about 6 months). and of course, not a single problem for my documents.

i just wanna say that if i know anyone who needs legal help about immigrantion, i would personally recommend Philip because i KNOW he is a very responsible lawyer that you can count on.

  • Philip handled my Immigration matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
My wife and I retained Phil to solve a problem with her immigration status (green card) which happened after we incorrectly filed a wrong form with USCIS, and after our previous lawyer was *no help* at all (and at least partly responsible for the mistake in the first place, in my opinion) and we couldn't be happier with the result. PROBLEM SOLVED, great communication and fast responses all through the process, and Phil's flat-rate fee meant we knew what the total cost would be from the start, no financial surprises. Highly recommended.

Very diligent and meticulous lawyer

Client Review:
I retained Philip as my lawyer in May of 2010 and by July 2010 my paper work had been handled with care and my case was approved. I retained Philip as an immigration attorney to help my fiance and I, with my K1 visa application for my fiance. I was pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and due in October. I needed my fiance here for the birth of our first child and because of Philip this wish of mines was actualized. My pregnancy was difficult but this process was smooth and easy. This is what kept me going and words cannot express my gratitude to Philip and his staff as well as Heather Ruhlman. Thank you Thank you

  • I used Philip 1-3 years ago.
  • Philip handled my Immigration matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
Honestly, I found Mr Curtis through google when I searched the requirements for the Green Card. He has his video and I was watching his video and listened to his lecture about Immigration issues. He is very knowledgeable about the subject. He also went thru the same situation like me with his wife. I believe she is from South Africa. From that I feel connection and I know I will be ok under his care.

I was very happy that I found him, because you have to be careful choosing your lawyer to take care of your case. If the lawyer does not have enough knowledge or familiar with the immigration's law, It can messed up your case big time. AND it is VERY VERY Expensive.

I been talking to few lawyers before I met Mr Curtis, and I was little nervous to work with them. I feel like they are not familiar with the immigration law's.

Under Mr Curtis care, I received my Green Card within less than 3 months. He always available when I have questions. He will call and answer my email in timely manner. He even reassure me when I was frustrated with the process. He said " Do not lose sleep over it, we will work togethere and everything would be ok"

Thus, I HIGHLY recommed MR Curtis and once again he is excellent.

sincerely
Ning and Edwin

Client Review:
We had a very good experience with Mr. Curtis.
Initially we were quite nervous about the whole process of immigration. My mother immigrated many years ago and did not have a positive experience with the whole immigration process. So we decided to hire an immigration lawyer to make the process much smoother.
When we contacted Mr. Curtis, he was friendly, easy to talk with and timely with all of our questions.
He made the immigration process simple to understand and the most work we had to do was send him all of our documentation. Mr. Curtis always kept us informed and we were able to view our case online at anytime.
Mr. Curtis handled our case very quickly and even fast tracked our interview as my husband is in the Marine Corps and was set to deploy out of the country. He took the stress out of a potentially stressful situation.
I highly recommend him for any immigration services.
