A terrific and knowledgeable lawyer

Mr. Wise and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, competent and have helped my family immeasurably in the always complicated process of moving to France. I highly recommend him.

No help at all

I will start off by saying one nice thing about Haywood: he seems like a nice guy. The work, however, was very disappointing. We paid Haywood a fair amount of money for him to provide us with the same information we had already found online. Beyond that, Haywood appears to be very disorganized. W...e would follow up with him with payment or information within the hour of his request, and the next time we would hear from him would be days later telling us that he was still waiting on us. The email was literally in the thread to which he was replying. Finally, I followed up with Haywood after we met with the processing center to provide him this same feedback. He ignored the feedback and replied instead with something along the lines of, "Looks like you had your appointment!" I couldn't tell if this was him being purposefully obtuse or just incidentally so. I've hired much better immigration lawyers in the past who have prepared me for what to expect and gave me the confidence when dealing with French bureaucracy that I would be able to handle what they threw my way. With Haywood, I felt less prepared than if I had gone there on my own. Friends and colleagues have told me that Haywood is good when you need a simple thing done that could otherwise be done on an assembly line but requires a lawyer's name on it. I trust them on that, but for anything else I won't consider or endorse Haywood Wise.

I should like to add that after VFS has taken over consular processing formalities this year, they have not been altogether consistent or helpful in providing information on visa requirements and we have been working closely with them to best orient our clients during VFS' learning curve. It is important to note that many of the formalities have changed and VFS' online system has been difficult to navigate for some of our clients. We now have a full command of their procedures.

Sound advice and rapid response to questions.

I tried myself to navigate phones and the web in the US to obtain a Spousal Long Term Visa for France, as did my French wife in France, without progress. Haywood Wise, on the Embassy Lawyer list, seemed the most empathetic, knowledgeable and communicative of the three I talked with, starting at the b...ottom and going up the alphabetical list. He and his staff guided me through the simple, as it turns out, labyrinthe of the collection of proper documents and information. Haywood filled out the official forms for our signatures and prepared the final professional looking dossier to present. He and staff staff answered my questions quickly and often immediately. Haywood Wise made it a very pleasant and efficient experience, even though it took longer than I expected. A few days ago I had the appointment in Houston and expect to have my Visa within about 2 weeks. Xxx

A star

Maitre Wise has supported my annual titre de sejour applications for 4 years. His staff who provide immigration assistance are consistently bright, astute, reliable and responsible young attorneys. I believe this degree is essential for qualified representation. As a life long expat, I am able to ...handle my own visa applications. I seek assistance to reduce stress and for added legal expertise . This office provides all of this with integrity.
