The firm did a great job and they were totally professional, friendly and nice to work with. I really enjoyed working with the Ware/Gasparian. They conducted themselves in a very professional manner, had a great knowledge of the immigration system and more importantly were compassionate to my feelings. I would recommend this group to anyone needing a law firm that will reinforce you from the beginning to the end of your proceedings. Again, they are smart, thorough and such a pleasure to work with. Finally, I highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal services.

Mr. David Ware was recommended to me from several people. I contacted his office for consultation and I ended up contracting with him to get a permanent residency status based on National Interest Waiver. I got the approval in a timely manner and my family and I got our green cards. Mr. Ware and his staff provided an excellent service for us. I’m grateful to them. They know what they are doing. I strongly recommend Mr. David ware and his associates for your immigration case. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and get to the point that win the case. They know how USCIS think.

Mr. Ware and his firm did a terrific job in processing my H-1B visa. He worked directly with my employer to ensure that all the documents needed were provided on time. His timely advice ensured that my H-1B visa processing took less time than normal. He is very knowledgeable on immigration matters (laws). His staff are very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Bravo!

I've been in the U.S. for a long time, and had a very good, reputable law firm. However, closer to the expiration of my H1B they were dragging out my case in a way that could jeopardized my U.S. residency chances. By sheer chance, I met David Ware at an information session. He came up with a sound strategy to obtain my green card, and a year after the application - I'm holding it in my hands. David and his team are amazing. The best (not only immigration, but in general) legal experience ever. Thank you.

A company that wanted to hire me on an H1B work permit retained Ware Gasparain for this purpose.
From the outset every member of the team was very understanding of my needs and the companies, phone calls were always returned promptly and the quality of the paperwork that was submitted to USCIS was beyond reproach. This was evidenced in the work permit petition being approved within 4 days of submission.
Having gone through this process a number of times before And dealt with a number of immigration attorneys before and I can honestly say that none have managed the process as professionally and efficiently as the team at Ware Gasparain. I would have no hesitation in recommending their service for any immigration purposes.

David Ware and Kathleen Gasparian are absolutely top-notch Immigration lawyers. My wife and I hired their services for several immigration applications - work visa, green-card, and U.S. naturalization. The legal services provided were nothing short of outstanding, including their reasonable fees. All our applications were successful and were concluded quickly, without a glitch. Having our Immigration processes through the Ware|Gasparian firm was one of the wisest investments we made since moving to the United States. Highly, very highly recommended!!

Spectacular lawyer and law firm. Extremely knowledgeable. (A leading lawyer/expert on employment based green cards --
especially for academics.)
His law firm processed my case very efficiently but with care and
attention to detail. They responded promptly and with great expertise to all my questions or any situation that arose.
Excellent work. They helped me obtain my green card in under 10 months (starting with labour certification). Also very affordable. I strongly recommend Mr. Ware and his law firm.

We have been seeking legal advice and immigration services from David Ware & Associates for over eight years and the experience has been wonderful. They are prompt, courteous and importantly, knowledgeable about immigration laws and the changing scenes. The attorneys shared information on legal services and promptly responded to my emails. With one or two exceptions, they quickly verified, approved and submitted the petitions. They were very professional conducting the business and I strongly recommend their services to my peers.

I've been consulting with David Ware & Associates for over 6 years now. They've advised me back when I was a student and they've handled all 3 of my H-1B applications. My sister has used their services for 2 H-1B applications. The entire team is very knowledgeable and I have nothing but great things to say about Kathleen, Elaine, and Julie. On my last H-1B application, timing was critical and they managed to pull it off in record time! I've never needed to work with another immigration lawyer because David Ware & Associates has never disappointed. They've always delivered and I would recommend their services to anyone.

If anyone suggests which immigration lawyer to hire. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Ware and Associates. I had been there client for about 2 1/2 years from filing H1B to the approval of Permanent Resident Status.
Mr. Ware without a doubt has the knowledge and years of experience in his line of work and also what stands out are the the paralegals and staff members that work for him. They are very professional and very personable.
In my opinion, he is a great guy with excellent team members that can get the job done.

I recently obtained my permenant residency through Mr. Ware's law company. I had a perfect experience with David Ware's immigration firm. He himself and all the lawyers and paralegals were very professional and responded always in a timely and professional manner to my legal concerns and questions. David Ware and his firm was recommended to me by a friend who used them, and I really experienced their proffesionalism and attention to detail in my case too. I would recommend him and lawyers associated with him to everybody who has immigration related issues.

I have worked with David Ware and Associates in two separate immigration matters, once about 12 years ago to handle my wife's INS application and again recently when I sponsored an H1b for an employee. In both cases, we were treated very professionally and I highly recommend DWA to anyone needing immigration representation.

David Ware was recommended to me when I needed an Attorney to handle immigration related needs. I must say that, in him, I found an experienced, highly professional and very efficient Attorney! He kept me well informed throughout the process and provided timely updates. He personally called me a number of times to offer information and answer any questions that I had. I was very satisfied with the services he provided.

After having bad experience with another attorney, I was advised to seek Mr Ware’s advice; from the first time a met him it was obvious to me he was very knowledgeable, direct and clear. He explained to me what options I had for a visa extension and labor certification process. He explained the possible issues and complications and recommended a path forward. He prepared a very complete and thorough package and did not cut any corners which help the applications get through without any issues.
Don’t fall victim of unscrupulous or incompetent attorneys, if you want somebody you can trust will do the right thing and do it right you should consider him and his staff.

Mr. Ware assisted me and my husband in getting our Green Cards and I'd highly recommend him. He was very knowledgable of the process and clear on what was required from us, the company sponsoring me and his firm. He's also straight forward in regards to the cost and we didn't end pay up paying a dime more than he said we would. I've had friends dealing with immigration lawyers charging their clients for every phone call, email etc in which case they've ended up paying much more than they first expected. I personally prefer the fixed cost and no add ons! I think the paralegals dealing with our case could occasionally have been a little more responsive/clearer as to some of the questions we (myself and my company) had during the process. But, all in all, we're very satisfied. We received our green cards in 18 months. We've also used Mr. Ware for our H1Bs and never had any issues.

David Ware and Associates (DWA) is a legal firm that is the hallmark of professionalism and excellence in every ramification in the legal field. My employment-based Green Card application process (including my wife and daughter) lasted only 7 months without a single error or delay. As you know, the green card process is fraught with many levels of uncertainty, and exceptional care is required at each stage in the process. The attorneys take their time to listen attentively, and proffer explanations that are factual to the issue. As a client, I felt their care and concern for me from these responses. This review touches on 4 key aspects of DWA’s professionalism: (1) Meticulosity: This lawyer and his team carryout several rounds of detailed analyses and checks on every form that is to be submitted to USCIS. Clearly, with this level of attention to detail, the process ended up not only error-free, but also heartache-free. (2) Responsiveness: Throughout this process, the paralegals (very professional) were always on-hand to respond to any queries, doubts, or questions. In fact, it is not just about the spontaneity of their response, it is also the correctness of their answers. This is because they speak with the relevant attorney to get the correct information or answer to any question. They respond promptly either by email or by phone – there is nothing that beats an immediate response/answer when you need one! In addition, everyone at DWA, from the receptionist to Attorney Ware himself, is very personable, and easy to work. (3) Use of Technology: This firm uses computer software that is very easy to use – anyone with or without computer skills can use their software. This allows the client to complete the required forms online for the attorney to review. It is a real-time process! In the end, you will receive a complete copy of all documents filed with USCIS for your records. (4) Inexpensive: I know, by now you will be thinking that this is going to be one really expensive legal firm. On the contrary, for their professionalism and excellence in service, they are also surprisingly affordable. The firm allows what I call a stress-free payment plan that makes the whole process appear free at the end. They accept credit cards, debit cards, checks, cash, etc. Seriously, this firm reinforced my belief that the best things in life do not necessarily come at astronomical prices. The bottom line is that this is a top legal firm, and I am very happy and pleased to have used their services for my immigration requirements. I enthusiastically recommend them!

David Ware is an outstanding immigration attorney. The overall rating I have given (Excellent) says it all. I have the fullest confidence in his knowledge of immigration law. He is also unfailing courteous in answering whatever questions I have, very thoroughly and to my complete satisfaction. Whatever I have written here about Mr. Ware applies also to Lucy McMellan and Kathleen Gasparian , who belong to DavidWare & Associates. You cannot place a dollar-value on the peace of mind and the feeling of security that an outstanding immigration (or any other professional) firm can give you. I would strongly recommend David Ware and his firm to anyone who is looking for outstanding immigration attorneys.

Very professional and courteous. Kept me up to date and followed up with agencies on time.

Before I was Mr. Ware's client, a friend of mine had told me that he was the best immigration lawyer in the New Orleans area. After being his client for almost 2 years, I definitely agree with him. I recently received my green card and I have been very satisfied with Mr. Ware and his firm. If I have any immigration related problems in the future, he will be the first person I call.

Mr. Ware's office handled the removal of the conditional status on my green card after my divorce. The information was very honest and accurate. Correspondence is very fast. Sometimes even faster than I can read/write emails. All time lines and procedures proposed were accurate and his office even stayed a little under the quoted budged. I felt very comfortable and well represented. Mr Ware and his associates will remain my top choice for immigration law. Highly recommended.

David gives you so much attention I felt like he was a one man shop, but in reality, he has five other great lawyers who work for him and many paralegals, allowing him to provide fast and efficient service in a number of different areas of immigration law.

I have had the pleasure to utilize the services of David Ware & Associates for personal and professional reasons for over twenty years. He and his talented staff of lawyers and paralegals are knowledgable, ethical, accesible and responsive to client needs. They keep abreast of immigration issues in an ever-changing environment and regularly communicate the implications of (pending) changes to their clients. I highly recommend Mr. Ware and his firm.

David is very knowledgeable on all types of immigration law. I have used his services personally and professional and rely heavily on his expertise and feedback. I know it can be taxng dealing with paralegals but he is afterall a one man firm and cannot handle everything himself. I think he's one of the best in the field. On a personal note he's not all about money. He gift to one of his clients on their wedding was a personal visit to the USCIS center with her on her interview. He did a thorough job of putting her paperwork together and driving from Metarie to Memphis free of charge. He has a big heart and genuinely cares for his clients:)

Mr. Ware and his team handled my EB-1 category immigration case and prepared an outstanding researcher petition for me and my spouse. Mr. Ware has a vast experience deciding which category would be suitable for a candidate and how to proceed with the immigration case. He and his team was in constant communication with us what kind of documents we should gather together, and how the recommendation letters etc. should be worded. Then, they prepared the package themselves with care, to the details needed.
They have also provided helpful advice and pointed out helpful hints during the personal appointments.
Mr. Ware was easy to reach and work with, through email or through an appointment. His lawyers and paralegals were also precise and fast in communication.
I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for permanent residence and would like to decide which category to pursue. An excellent team in Louisiana.
