Very Professional, Efficient, and Well Knowledgable

Within the first 30 minutes of meeting with Marcus for my first consultation, I was sure I wanted to work with him. He sat patiently and listened to my concerns and then explained with full confidence and clarity all my options. At no point, I felt rushed or sold during the consultation. Thro...ughout the entire filing process I was regularly updated on what is happing, what documents I needed to submit and the deadlines for submission. I am happy with the work Marcus and his team did in helping me to get my permanent green card.

Great attorney, strongly recommend him!

Marcus was my immigration attorney when I was preparing to move to the States on an O1-A Visa. He was always there for consultation and advice and provided me with valuable feedback as we were preparing to build my case. Marcus and Craig Bellgraph did an amazing job developing the visa case and compi...ling all evidences and supporting documentation that resulted in a quick and successful visa application. The positive outcome is the not the only reason why I would strongly recommend Marcus; he was always there when I needed him and even with 7 hours time difference we still managed to effectively communicate and work together on my visa process.

Successful H1B Visa

Marcus was amazing in this whole process. Marcus and Shawn were both 100% present the whole time. In urgent moments they were available via email or phone. In moments of panic, they were both their to walk me through the steps. To reassure us everything was sent off and all paper work was correctly f...illed out. They were both very thorough in the paper work and making sure we were kept in the loop with everything. They made sure we knew what was going on at all times. I trusted them to do all they could to help me get my H1B. I would recommend Marcus and Shawn to anyone who needs help with their immigration status.

Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Mr.Jaynes. He is very professional and it was a pleasure to have him as my lawyer. I would recommend him for any type of immigration case. My case was in a very tough position that I felt hopeless, but thanks to his expertise he was able to help me resolve it. Mr.Jaynes was q...uick to respond, efficient, and very friendly. His support, and guidance in helping me with my situation is highly appreciated. One thing that stands out from Mr.Jaynes that I feel I must mention is that he is very responsible in his work. I can't say enough positive things about Mr.Jaynes and his staff. Thanks to him my family is now together in the U.S. Thank you for all your help.
