Service, Subject matter expertise, Personal touch… phenomenal outcome.

We engaged Harlan York and Associates after consulting with several other law firms, searching various web based sources, and speaking with attorneys who practice immigration law. We had previously had our case handled by another firm which didn’t perform anything efficiently except their process for... sending us bills for services. In meeting with Mr. York and his team, he was very up front in helping us understand how his team would handle our case, the process we would have to follow, and how the case would most likely unfold. He explained how his firm would handle the case, the risks, potential outcomes (good and bad), and the fee’s associated with the case. There were no false promises associated with his explanations, just a clear and easily understood portrayal of what his firm would be doing and the costs associated with this. As our case was an application for lawful status under the VAWA provision, and we were as risk for deportation, there were many complications and nuances that had to be managed through. Mr. York assigned our case to Maggie Dunsmuir, who not only has phenomenal expertise and knowledge in VAWA, but is thorough, thoughtful, empathetic, patient, and was always available to us during the 12 months that we worked with her. Although the VAWA requirements are complex and not entirely black and white, she took the time to thoroughly understand our situation and, over the course of many months, developed our case and ultimately the VAWA application in a manner that provided the most compelling argument possible that we were eligible for VAWA status based on the standards. We had many multi-hour meetings with her at her office and we never felt rushed. She was bought into our case 100%, and many times I felt like she wanted to achieve a successful outcome for us as much as we did for ourselves. We exchanged many emails and phone calls over this time. She was always there for us and her follow up was timely, thorough, and thoughtful. In May of 2015 she called us with the news we had been waiting for – the VAWA application was approved !! We were ecstatic and had a hard time processing this great piece of information. Now we are working with her to apply for lawful permanent resident status and I’m confident the experience will be another positive one. This is a real success story made possible by Harlan York and Associates and Maggie. We can’t thank the firm enough for making this possible. I recommend them without reservation.

Excellent service

Mr York assisted us with the immigration process for my husband after the denial of the I-601A provisional waiver. We visited 3 different lawyers but after meeting with him we knew he was going to help us be successful. After two years of waiting for the entire process; my husband is now a lawful p...ermanent resident. Riki was instrumental in managing our case. Riki is extremely professional, courteous, and responsive. We always received an answer on any of our questions in less than 24 hours. Our family is very thankful for their valuable help. They met our expectations 100% and we are very confident in recommending as Great lawyers. JCC

An excellent Immigration Firm

Harlan York & Associates is one if the most professional, knowledgeable and experienced law firms that I've ever encountered. I was awed by the manner in which they handled my case and the fact that they were genuine and sincere was an added bonus. Mr. Harlan York and Ms. Mary Lynn Seery were fantast...ic and made feel at ease. My conditional green card expired years ago and I was hopeless and terrified that I would be deported even though my children are US citizens. It is due to their hard work and diligence that I am still in the United States of America with my children. I am eternally grateful.

Best legal Team

I found Harlan York's company through Google reviews and they turned out to be a most amazing team of lawyers! Prior to that I had consulted a few other lawyers unsuccessfully regarding my very complicated green card applicatio, and I can't thank Mr York, Lauren Anselowitz and Rikki King enough for n...ot only taking my case, but making it successful. It took a few years, a great deal of patience and creativity on their part, and several applications but they did it! You cannot find a better or more committed team of lawyers anywhere. Please call them, don't think your case is too complex!

Exceptional Lawyer. Phenomenal Associates. Excellent Practice. Extraordinary Results.

Mr. York and his entire law firm should be the standard for which every other law firm strives for. Harlan is extremely knowledgeable and is current on immigration law. His dedication and commitment to his practice and clients is uncompromised, and is clearly evident with his results. Mr. York as...signed Riki King to our case, although Mr. York oversaw our entire case. Riki is OUTSTANDING! I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Her email replies to us were prompt and she answered every concern we had. She was with us from the very beginning to the very end. My case was very complex and when multiple lawyers advised against moving forward or commented that it "couldn't be done", Harlan and Riki proved them all wrong. I've dealt with quite a few lawyers and law firms previous to Mr. Harlan, and I can say without hesitation, he and his team are without a doubt, THE BEST law firm, that I have had the pleasure of working with. If you want an intelligent law team, personal service, and exceptional results, then look no further.
