Evan Taras Bokshan

Attorney Bokshan of the Bokshan Law Firm helped me obtain and extend an O-1 visa and EB-1 Extraordinary Ability (I-140) green card petition which USCIS approved in ONE DAY! I chose Bokshan Law Firm over New York City law firms upon recommendation by a colleague. Attention to the smallest details a...nd immediate availability to answer any questions are the trademarks of this law firm. He took time to research and learned many specifics about my profession (the art of photography). Attorney Bokshan worked closely with me to collect and present the best evidence and prepared a winning case. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bokshan, or acquire his services again, if need be.

Taras took my difficult and complicated case that other attorneys did not want and made it look easy. He successfully won my petition and waiver cases allowing my wife to return to the U.S. in spite of being barred for overstaying her Visa. He always answered emails and phone messages promptly and I ...never felt rushed when meeting with him. Outstanding lawyer and good person.

My experience with Mr. Bokshan was absolutely remarkable. I needed my case done in a very tight time frame, and all other lawyers that my friends or I ever used would have failed the job. With Mr. Bokshan, the case went through very smoothly. His instructions to me were very clear and precise. Whenev...er I asked him a question, he promptly replied to my message with a competent answer. I could tell that, in addition to the legal side, he also knew the specific USCIS procedures in document turnover and decision making. When I brought the necessary papers, Mr. Bokshan met with me to go through them, and the case went to USCIS the next day. Finally, Mr. Bokshan went to the interview with me and practically handled it for me. For each of the mentioned steps, I personally know someone whose lawyer screwed it up (failure to show up for an interview included). Myself, I previously used one of the best known immigration law firms in Atlanta to handle a different case. With that one, I never met the attorney who was assigned to actually work on my case. I would leave the papers for her with the receptionist, and we mostly communicated by e-mail. It is needless to say that she was not nearly as responsive as Mr. Bokshan and not nearly as competent. Having received the papers, it took her about three weeks to file the case. She failed to do it right the first time, though, and USCIS later requested more documentation. She got the job done eventually but I will think twice before using her or that firm again. If I need an immigration lawyer in the future, Mr. Bokshan will be the first one whom I will contact. I recommend him with enthusiasm.

Taras is very knowledgeble. He coached us every step of the way. He made sure we knew exactly what to expect during the immigration interview. He was constantly in touch with us so we knew what was going on. I felt very reassured when he came with us to the immigration office and the staff there knew... who he was. He was worth every penny, we could not imagine going through this process without him. I would highly recommend Taras.
