Conscientious, proactive and great support

David and the team at VisaServe were fantastic to work with. I worked with David directly, as well as Severina Castor. I worked with them for my USCIS Employment Sponsored Green Card application. They were fast to respond to any questions I had. At key points I was able to talk through particular que...stions on a phone call with David. The process was smooth and they were proactive to tell me when certain USCIS approvals were provided, as well as proactive to tell me what information to prepare for to keep the process moving as quickly as possible. Everything was submitted in a timely manner and super quickly.

US Visa for Swiss citizen

David Nachman took on my case after i was not able to enter the US for 4 years due to a mistake i made on my ESTA form for years. I was not aware of the mistake. David Nachman and his team are attentive, highly responsive & clear. They helped me go through the required administration work to reso...lve this issue successfully. I hired a law firm prior to David Nachman which cost a lot of money with no result. I am forever thankful to David Nachman and his great team who helped me to have my freedom to travel back.

Immigration lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. David Nachman is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners I know in the area of immigration law. We worked together on a number of matters involving business immigration, in which we counseled clients on the area of starting a new business in the United States and using the investment as a basis for entry. In addition, Mr. Nachman and I have assisted immigrants to naturalize when facing a slow and intransigent CIS. A number of Mr. Nachman's clients retained me to bring federal lawsuits on their behalf, and I worked closely with Mr. Nachman on these cases as well. I learned a great deal about the immigration side of these matters from Mr. Nachman and found him to be a very honest, hard working and industrious attorney. I look forward to working with him in the future, and will have no reservations referring my colleagues and clients to him in the future."

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.
