BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER HANDSDOWN!!!

First of all ,I never write reviews but for this I have to….IF YOU NEED AN IMMIGRATIONATTORNEY BOOK DESMOND DAWUNI NOW. DO NOT HESITATE!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! With Desmond's help, I have been able to extend my permanent residency card periodically until my petition was recently approved. To tell y...ou a little bit about my case: I met Desmond at a time when the process for my residency documentation had gone off track due to a variety of circumstances. He prioritized the maintenance of my legal status while petition was pending and ensured that I was being treated fairly. It’s been 8 long years in the process, and I cannot explain it enough how resilient he has been through the entire process. Desmond has been extremely empathetic to my personal situation and always thought ahead to ask potential issues so we could preempt and avoid them. During my interview, I was told that my case was unique and honestly the officer seemed very confused on what to do next. Before that, Desmond took the time to explain things to me, had several contingency plans and ensured I was very well-prepped for my interview, so I went there with confidence. The bonus was I had the option of having him present with me at the interview which gave me even more confidence. My case was a lot of work in many ways, and I can say with a doubt, he went above and beyond with the time he has dedicated to working with me. Finally, my petition has been approved….Yayyyy we did it!!! God really puts people in our lives for a reason and I am thankful Desmond was one of them. He is also very professional, affordable and knowledgeable in his work. I highly recommend Desmond because he will advocate for you!! Giving him 5 stars is truly an understatement. Thank you so much Desmond! You are really the best!

EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONAL LAWYER

We have known Mr. Dawuni for 5 years now; my case was somehow difficult after my first lawyer messed up my case, and during the first interview, things didn't go well. I explained that to my friend, who Mr. Dawuni helped, and she referred me to him. He took my case immediately, very professional, and... told me what to do and what documents to prepare if USCIS will need them. He went with me to the second interview and helped me to smooth things out. He helps me to pull out my case and have a second chance to file a new case afresh.  I thought it would be difficult for him since I live out of state ( Delaware), but he helps me in each step through my case. So thanks, Allah, and through the help of Mr. Dawuni, my interview went well, and I eventually got my green card. So I highly recommend anyone who needs an immigration lawyer to contact Mr. Dawuni even if you live out of New Jersey, he will help you through the process, and your case will be successful.

Professional

He was very professional and time conscious, always on time to every meeting. He helped me every step on the way to getting my citizenship, by answering all the questions I had and following up for me when necessary. He is an Excellent lawyer

Very competent and professional!

My experience with Desmond was very pleasant. He was very professional and responsive and took his time to explain every step of the process to me patiently. He correctly filed the relevant documents, responded promptly to emails and provided prompt updates. I really appreciate these qualities as an ...attorney myself and I will wholeheartedly recommend him. He went above and beyond in my case!

Desmond is a very competent immigration attorney. He deserves an award

Mr Desmond Dawuni is very efficient and goes above and beyond your expectations when he represents you at the immigration services He filed for parole in my case .l did not discuss parole with him but because he heard that l have been in the country for a long time,he used his own discretions and... l was granted a good six months parole. He instructed me clearly as to what to do when l travel. I was able to travel outside of the country and back successfully. Then my green card application was granted also after my interview, all because Desmond was very particular about the presentation of all needed documents. He is efficient, reliable and very professional. I will not hesitate to recommend Desmond to anyone who needs professional assistance.
