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!

Hire him!

We were very lucky that Justin was our immigration lawyer. Not only is he a great human being - kind, compassionate, ready to answer our most obvious questions and soothe our anxieties about the immigration process - he is also a terrific lawyer. He thought of absolutely every little detail, prepared... a solid dossier, and the immigration application process went as smoothly as could be. We felt even luckier after hearing horror stories from friends who were going through the same process: paying for lawyer fees every time they spoke to their lawyer on the phone, their application being delayed because the lawyer did not think of sending this or that document, etc. My spouse and I highly recommend Justin for your immigration legal needs!

Great Lawyer, friendly and resonable.

Justin is the best lawyer that my family has worked with. After having some issues by filing on our own we hired Justin to help us with my mother's Immigration problems. All throughout he helped us step by step and made sure we understood what was going on with the process. After a while I too recei...ved an order for voluntary departure. He took on my case Pro Bono and helped me file the necessary paperwork to receive a form of relief. A couple of months later he took on both my sister's and my case to help us obtain a green card at a reasonable price. My sister's and my interview were in different time periods. He attended both on the given time frame and even sacrifice some of his vacation time, just to make sure that we didn't have to reschedule my interview. We had spent so much money filing not only once but twice for the necessary forms. He understood very well how much money we had spend and helped us a lot. Justin was very liniment on payment plans. Over all he answered any questions we had for him before out Immigration interviews. I highly recommend Justin for any Immigration case that you may have. He knows what he is doing and gets to the point. Later in the future I will be in use of his services once again for my naturalization process.
