Haywood Martin Wise

I practice corporate and securities law, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. where I’ve developed strategic professional and business relationships. Over my 35 years of practice, hiring lawyers all over the world, I’ve learned how critically important it is to hire only the very best and br...ightest colleagues as local counsel. I recently engaged Haywood Wise to obtain a “Skills and Talents" Visa ("Carte Compétences & Talents") for my most important client. It’s a difficult one to obtain because it requires solid proof that you are likely to make a significant or lasting contribution, through your skills or talents, to France’s economic development or to its intellectual, scientific, cultural, humanitarian or athletic prestige. I was very happy with Haywood and his associates’ on several levels. First, he and his associates took a personal interest in the matter and really cared. Secondly, they responded promptly to my questions and concerns and communicated well. Thirdly, and most importantly, Haywood and his team had a unique combination of top-notch legal skills, experience, contacts and a practical approach that enabled them to complete the job efficiently and for reasonable compensation. Haywood Martin Wise is one of the most talented and reliable professionals with whom I have worked since becoming involved in international business years ago. I highly recommend Haywood for projects that require his special brand of savvy and competence.

I am not an easy client. Last year I felt a vague notion of wanting to move to Paris, but beyond my vagaries, I had nothing solid, no documents, hardly an argument -- just a whimsical hope. Over the course of several months, Haywood went out of his way to learn my case and situation, and successfully... formulated a rock solid argument. My deliveries of the required documents were flaky, at best, but Haywood patiently helped me through acquiring each and every piece I needed. It was a wonderful feeling at the consul the afternoon I delivered Haywood's arguments. The officer looked over my documents, looked up at me, and attempted to make the customary governmental rejection, but had no such utterances. A few days later I received my visa, most successfully. It was beautiful.

My husband (French) and I (American) got married in America thinking we'd be able to sail into the sea and live happily ever after! To our surprise, we were so wrong! After getting married we learned that we needed to go through an immigration process to legally be together! We tried to do this on ...our own and filled out tons of paperwork and even attempted to go to both the consulate in Los Angeles and Paris! After being unsucessful we discussed our options and decided the best thing for us would be to hire a Professional who spoke both French and English and was familiar with this type of thing. Mr. Haywood Martin Wise had excellent reviews and was reasonably priced, so we decided to hire him to help us. He and his team are very proffession and have been of great help to us in this confusing time. They have helped us tremendously and taken away all the stress that this had put on us. I would highly recommend him for ANY and ALL your immigration needs. Today I received my Longstay visa for France=) He is also working on my husbands Immigration to the United States, which is in Process at the moment. So if you just got married and are confused as of what you need to do Mr. Haywood Martin Wise and his team are my #1 recommendation. They are extremely responsive and helpful with all the questions that come along with this confusing time. So, the moral of the story is, if you are looking for a Professional to get your Immigration figured out Mr. Haywood Martin Wise and his staff are the BEST and I recommend them to get the job done so you can enjoy your time as Newly Weds!!! Congratulations on your Marriage and I hope I helped with your choice in picking the Best Lawyer for all your Immigration needs!
