Thank you for Fantastic job!

Jacob and his team are true professionals who did everything to ensure that my family and I received status in the United States. Their work is priceless. From day one, they showed empathy towards my case and did everything possible to help me get a positive outcome. Today, November 21, 2024, it f...inally happened. All of this is thanks to the hard work of Jacob and his team, especially Isabel! My family and I will never forget this day and Jacob for giving us such a wonderful day filled with incredible news. Thank you once again. I can’t find the words to express how happy I am with what he has done for us!

Jacob is professional and punctual. He kept us up to date with our immigration process and provided clarification when asked. He is very throughout and simplified a complicated process. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Jacob for your help!

Smart, Effective, and Caring Divorce Attorney

Attorney Geller explained the process up front - the legal costs and the issues. He quickly gained my trust and made me feel confidant. Jacob was very responsive and got back to me quickly via phone or email (unless he was in court or tied up on a case.) His legal expertise and his ability to help me... focus and remain calm while making tough decisions is one of the many reasons I feel he was an excellent choice to represent me during my divorce. He would also work to help me understand the other side's point of view and how everything would effect me and my children, now and in the years down the road. Not only was his pricing fair, but he made a conscientious effort to suggest ways to hold down costs. I recommend him highly.

Amazing results

After researching many Immigration lawyers in the Boston are Jacob was the winner. We liked his advices and hire him after our first consultation. He explain the entire process, made us feel welcome, fair pricing, and quickly gain our trust. During the entire process he was very informative and alwa...ys easy to get a hold of. Did an amazing job with helping my husband obtain his green card in the blink of an eye. We highly recommend Jacob Geller to everyone that needs to fix their immigration status. Thank You Jacob!!! We will definitely be coming back to you in two years for he 10 year green card!!!

Highly recommended!

Jacob was very thorough, with a lot of attention to even the smallest details of our case. He always kept in contact, through Skype, email, and phone calls. We are extremely pleased with his work and would heartily recommend his services. Because of an overstay which incurred a ten year ban, my ...husband's immigration case was more complicated than we could handle. Jacob handled our I-601 waiver, and we are very happy with the results. My husband and I are very grateful for his hard work, and would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent immigration lawyer.
