Excellent Immigration Attorney

I first consulted with Justin Fappiano while working with on my wife's application for permanent residency before we had gotten married, so that we could make arrangements with the date of the wedding and when to file for the permanent residency. I've had some experience in working with USCIS and fel...t confident we could do this process ourselves, but I can't describe the peace of mind that Justin afforded us when we decided to hire him. Yes there is a cost to hiring an attorney, but in this day-and-age, having someone, like Justin, to make sure that everything is in order and to offer well-reasoned advice from his years of experience was invaluable. He was with us each step of the way and was a reassuring and measured presence that made this difficult process easier. I will gladly recommend Justin Fappiano to anyone looking for an experienced, talented, and savvy immigration attorney and I will happily bring my business back for future consultations.

Super Immigration Lawyer!!!

Since the beginning, Justin was very clear and clean with the possible outcomes of the whole process. Never promised more than we should expect. Kept our minds aware that if we had all the documentation needed, we would be successful. Also, his perception of timing about the steps with USCIS was ve...ry good, and he was organized, and available at any time on the phone to answer our questions. I am writing this review from the airport, just came back from my home country, was visiting my parents and family after a long time away. Couldn't have done any better nor any sooner without his advise. Fully recommend!

Best Immigration Lawyer in the Area....Look no further,

As a total novice about immigration, green cards and marriage I found Attorney Fappiano online and set up a consultation. It took less than 30 minutes for Justin to earn my confidence and trust. Initially I was nervous as we were a same sex couple with significant age difference and we’re both pre...tty private about our orientation and circumstance. Justin is extremely knowledgable of the entire process (no stone unturned). I could go on and on but will end with, There is absolutely no other immigration lawyer I would go to. We will have him do all the paperwork for the permit green card in two years, as well as for US citizenship. His fees are fair, well worth it!

There for you every step of the way

Justin was our attorney for my wife's residency process. We found him through a recommendation of a family friend. Right away, Justin called me right back to take the time and explain the process in depth, even though we were still a ways off from getting started. No matter what, Justin was always av...ailable to be sure all our questions and concerns were answered. The US immigration process can be nerve-wracking at times and it was reassuring to have attorney with not just a great depth of knowledge and experience but also someone who keeps in close contact with you. Justin always answered every email, text and phone call promptly and professionally. When we had our interview for residency, Justin worked closely with us to ensure we were well-prepared and organized beforehand. As a result, the interview itself went very smoothly. We found Justin's services to be a great value and we would highly recommend to others.

You can count on him!

Justin is professional yet very down-to-earth. I was referred to him by a family member for help obtaining permanent recidency for my husband. He was open and honest with us from our initial consult with him up until my husband received his green card. His fees are reasonable and he worked with us to... layout a payment plan. He’s always available to answer questions and made this stressful process effortless for us. Thanks to Justin my husband and I can move forward with our life!
