Absolutely incredible!

The immigration process can be incredibly confusing and daunting, and I'm so grateful to have had Scott guide me through it. He helped me successfully obtain an H1B visa a few years ago, and this year led me through the green card process. He's professional, accessible, trustworthy, and reliable—exac...tly the kind of attorney you want handling something as important as your immigration process. I'd recommend Scott to anyone and everyone.

HR Manager

Scott Malyk is an excellent immigration attorney. I call on him very often for complicated immigration matters. He has helped my organization process applications for visas such as TN-1s, H1Bs, B1s and L1s. Scott is very proactive in responding to my questions. He not only prepares our applicatio...ns/petitions, but his firm also prepares the support letters. I had worked once worked with law firm that offered very little assistance and guidance when it came to support letters. I greatly appreciate his counsel and work!

Saved my immigration process

We hired Scott after my company's attorneys bodged my immigration process (they applied for my H1 extension but missed certain time deadlines). We decided to do spousal sponsorship, and we found Scott and several alternates on Avvo. From our first conversation, Scott was extremely helpful, his ...office staff prompt and accurate and we felt our application was in good hands. He walked us through every part of the process, helped rebook us when the interview fell during an international trip and ensured we were prepared. We also hired him to be with us for the interview, which I recommend. His fees were almost the same as others, but the time he spent and info he gave from first phone call was far superior. We enjoyed working with Mr. Malyk, and would highly recommend him to anyone going through this process.

Best choice we made in immigration process!

We called and spoke with several lawyers when we decided to file for a green card. Scott immediately made us comfortable, he took the time to understand our specific situation and discussing the challenges and timelines of the process. He never pressured us but gave us all the information we need...ed to make decisions. He made sure we had the view of the entire journey and ensured we were prepared for our interview (paperwork we would need, etc) and eased our concerns. He was upfront about the costs and options, what the breakdown of those costs were (what went to the government, what his office charged). He was neither the most expensive nor cheapest but certainly the most valuable. We chose to have him with us on the day of the interview, and I'm glad we made that decision. I am a very DIY and self-sufficient person but knowing we had someone with us who knew what to do if something went wrong was worth every penny. I'd be remiss if I didn't note that Scott is a great person, as well. He is great to deal with, his support team is personable and every contact was very promptly returned. Forget every joke you know about lawyers, and get the best advocate you can for your important immigration process. Thank you Scott and team for all of your help and guidance! You really made the process clear and even enjoyable!

TN-1 Experience- outstanding!

I am very impressed with the thorough detail and excellent customer service I received from Scott. I appreciated his genuine interest in seeing me successfully obtaining my TN-1 visa. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for immigration guidance and assistance. He is now my 'go to...' guy for all my immigration needs.
