TPS review

Gave me a prompt answer. But he was not comprehensive which is expected from a public forum. I will contact him soon for more comprehensive answer. Hopefully he will give me comprehensive advice after we agree with the terms.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Hays helped me to acquire my green card in a very short amount of time, he was available when questions arose, and he answered them in a way that I was able to understand. He was also very intelligent in terms of coming up with new solutions when problems appear, and he solved them on a timely ...manner.
