Professional, efficient, friendly

Harlan York's firm helped me with my N400 application. It requires a lot of detail and his team efficiently guided me through my research and made sure everything was done just right. I could not recommend him more highly.

Super Exelente abogado!!! 100% lo Recomiendo!

Mr. York y su Asociados- Lauren hicieron un magnífico trabajo en mi caso con mi green card después de tener 2 casos de arrestos graves el y Lauren me ayudaron a conseguir lo soñado que era tener mi Targeta Verde salí del País al consolado y todo me salió como el dijo que saldría.... Antes de visitarl...o a él visité a 4 diferentes abogados y los 4 dijeron que tenía que esperar una ley que me amparará por mis dos arrestos el día que visite a Mr. York el me dio una esperanza junto con Ms.Lauren no les miento y tube mis dudas ya que 4 me dijeron que no se podía hacer nada y el me dijo que siii que primero nos en focariamos en los dos casos y así fue fueron 18 meses que espere luego tuve mi cita en el consulado en mi país y gracias a Mr. York y Ms. Lauren pude obtener mi Recidencia y ya tengo 6 meses legal con mi Green Card y mi Licencia de conducir.. Estaré infinitamente agradecida ...

My Removal Proceedings was granted.

It's my greatest joy that Harlan York took my Removal proceedings case and they stood by me till the end of my case and Maggie was assigned to my case, their support and encouragement really made me feel at ease even when my case had not been resolved. But at last, Immigration Judge granted my case a...nd i really commend their effort on my case. I will be more than willing to recommend them to friends and families with similar immigration cases or any immigration case whatsoever. Harlan York is up to the task and they are very experienced.

An extremely knowledgeable and dedicated attorney

Mr. York resolved an extremely difficult deportation case that I faced. I went to many attorneys that couldn't help at all and and didnt know the law well enough in order to approach my case. Mr. York is extremely knowledgeable and approached my case from many angles possible. Mr. York took his tim...e to examine everything about my case. He then executed a plan and did get the board of immigration appeals to reopen my case leading to a green card and evetually US citizenship. Mr. York and team did resolve my deportation case and now I'm a US citizen. In addition , Mr. York did the same for 3 family members that also had extremely difficult cases. All those family members did get their green cards and US citizenship.

Fantastic Experience

Engaged Harlan York and Associates for my Adjustment of Status (Green Card) application and had a fantastic experience working with the team there. Both Riki King and Rachael McCarthy were very responsive, highly proactive, and had a deep understanding of the entire process, including some of our m...ore nuanced queries. Strongly recommended for anyone trying to navigate the U.S. immigration process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
