You won't regret!

Scott is a very professional, smart and responsible lawyer. He helped me with my I485 application. There was some complications with my case, but he handled it very well, and my case got approved recently which I didn't expect to happen so quickly honestly. He had great strategies and always followed... up in a timely manner. His profession always relaxed me as he knew what to do next. I couldn't be happier to choose him as my attorney, and highly recommend him to anyone who's seeking immigration help.

Best immigration attorney! Highly recommended!!!

Scott has been serving as our Company’s immigration counsel since 2013, obtaining temporary and permanent (green card) visas for a number of business, managerial and executive personnel of our Company. Through his substantial experience with all work-related visa classifications, he has consistently... provided us with both short-term and long-term strategic guidance in the hiring, transfer and retention of international personnel worldwide. I would highly recommend him to be your or your company's immigration attorney!

The Red Carpet Treatment For E3 Visas

I hired Scott to help me secure my 5th E3 Visa. He was a total rockstar and a breath of fresh air. Having had a lot of experience with the E3, I was impressed by Scott's logical and practical advice rather than the usual legal jargon I had heard with previous immigration lawyers to which never really... answered my questions. Scott responded quickly to queries and was always available, even with the timezone difference in Australia. Scott's fee was incredibly reasonable compared to the market rate, and I couldn't recommend him further. Total legend!

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!
