Edward I. Weiner

My wife is French and when we were getting ready to get married, we went through hell trying to figure out the best path forward to be able to live together in the same country. First we hired two French immigration lawyers. The first was rude and unhelpful over and over, so we ended up terminating o...ur work with her. The second seemed at first like he'd be better, but ended up increasing his fee (considerably) twice due to our case becoming more complicated, and threatened to refuse to even send us our paperwork back if we didn't pay right away. So again we walked. The first US attorney we tried working with was friendly and meant well, but after our first consultation with him we went home and good old Google confirmed that his information was incomplete and out of date. Frustrated but determined to find a way, we finally found Edward. Phew!!! From the very first consultation with Edward, we knew we were in the best of hands. Edward was deeply knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and incredibly competent from the get-go. He asked a lot of questions, worked with us in depth to understand every little detail of our case, and was always one step ahead of the process, sending preparation paperwork in advance, checking in regularly to ensure we were staying on top of our preparations, and even offering multiple practice interviews for my wife who was a bit nervous about that part of the process. Twice during our process with Edward, the sale of our apartment in Paris fell through, and we had to change our plans and dates. Each time, based on our experiences with our other lawyers and our recognition that we were asking him to do a lot more work, we offered to increase the fee. He refused categorically, and continued to work with us competently and patiently through our 13 month process, helping us reschedule our interview twice. I'm writing now from California, where my wife, baby, and I have settled and are loving our life. We feel we owe this happiness to Edward in a more profound way than I could possibly express in this little box. There is simply too much to this saga to try to fit it all in, and too much was at stake to express how much Edward's solid work meant to us. For example, the part where my non-renewable tourist visa to stay with my wife in France expired the day before our baby's due date, meaning that if we didn't get the process just right, the potential outcome could have been literally catastrophic. I couldn't recommend Edward more strongly, and we look forward to staying in touch with him over the years, as well as working with him for our green card renewal, and any other needs we ever have in this realm.

My experience with Me Weiner has been just fabulous and, for the very first time, after several bad experiences, it really reconciled my thoughts for this profession. Here are already 6 points on which I am super satisfied: Attorney Weiner's understanding of your case and goals after your first c...onsultation Communication with our firm throughout your case Attorney Weiner's legal advice and counseling Service and effectiveness of our firm Final Resolution of your case Reasonableness of our firm's fees I have really no negative message to tell about him and I hope everyone can live the experience I had with Me Weiner. My story: I'm French and Canadian and in Oct 2013, I had the bad experience to be refused at one USCIS office. I was forbidden to cross the US border because of a naive mistake I did then. After this I tried to fix my situation in Canada, my country. Unfortunately, I just met bad lawyers pretending they were American law experts, giving me wrong info, wanting to extort me some insane fees. After 5 yrs of being a ping pong ball, I never found satisfaction in Canada. I was really lost with these contradictory info I gathered so far. My patience and will to fix properly my issue finally got rewarded. I turned toward an American Attorney Who knows best the American rights than an American attorney ?! That was the wisest thing I did. I chose Me Weiner because he was a specialist in US immigration and he spoke also French, ma native language. It is already very tricky to understand the legal and technical jargon in French so have an entire communication in English would have been an nightmare for me as I wanted to understand fully my situation. Me Weiner and his assistant speak and write perfectly French and it was truly appreciated. I could have chose another American lawyer who spoke French as well but I chose Me Weiner because of these reasons - and even after reading the bad comment about him on this website on March 2014 - - 1st phone call to introduce my case, my fears and situation: free - very affordable fees compared to Canada - Transparent fees, clear WITHOUT mysterious new extra fees during or when we closed the case. - unlimited phone calls and emails but for me, the most important was the simplicity of communication with him. Me Weiner's always been clear. he took the time needed to understand my issue without counting the hours and he noticed points that no one noticed before. Yet these were just essential. Often, experts, whatever the field, use specific jargon and for a non expert person it can be very confusing. Me Weiner was very aware of this and used words everyone could understand, to make sure I was really understanding my file, the consequences, the possibilities. For the 1st time since 2013, to carry this burden and anxiousness with my wife, we were glad to feel that we were not alone anymore. I'm really VERY HAPPY of my experience with Me Weiner. He has been super efficient, noticed all the important facts, always attentive, very concerned to the details. Me Weiner knows perfectly his field of expertise but he knows very well how to communicate and so his assistant. Always very kind and polite to my wife and I. Always honest and clear in his words because the first he wanted for me was to solve my issue that has been following me for 5 years. It is the first time I felt in confidence and supported in a situation that caused many concern and stress to my wife and I and that seemed impossible to fix. The D-day came, Me Weiner adviced me one USCIS to show my file. One of his colleague lawyer close to that office was aware I was there in case I needed extra fast help during the interview. The file was just perfectly built. He prepared me for that event by mail and phone and finally after 30min at the border, I got the authorization to cross again the US border. I found back my liberty thanks to Me Weiner I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Me Weiner.
