Joseph was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation until the day my application for citizenship was approved. He was always responsive and reliable, and was very knowledgeable on timelines, procedures, current immigration laws and what to expect from the process from start to finish. I highly recommend working with Joseph and his team. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Immigration Case
I’ve worked with Mr. Champagne since 2013 and if it wasn’t for his helped, my family member would have been deported. When all other lawyers declined my case, he was kind enough to help and when I had to deal with my own immigration problems Mr. Champagne was very easy to work and provided solutions. Pricing was very fair but his hard work was exceptional, excellent, and beyond any expectations.

The best of the best.
I was in deportation case with immigration because of criminal charge of pos. of marijuana . If it wasn’t Mr Champagne and his team with their wide knowledge in law , I will be deported by now. Especially I had no hardship to keep me in country. He didn’t only helped me With reducing the charge to misdemeanor but dismiss the deportation and he got me my citizenship.
I can’t thank you enough Mr Champagne and Mrs Sepulveda.
May GOD keeps on putting the best blessings in your ways.

Integrity and Passion at their best
My family and I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Champagne at an event back in 2016. Though we ‘thought’ we have no immigration issues going on at the time, we still sat down with him and took his card. Little that we know our I-130 petition was taking way too long. We’ve decided to seek Mr. Champagne’s advice about the delay. After considering the facts and odds against us, we ended up hiring him. We thank GOD for making such decision. Our case took a major turn for the worst. During these months of tribulations, Mr. Champagne attended to us not only as our attorney but as a friend, brother, & counselor. We can’t testify how many times he’s lent his ears and shoulders to us. That meant so much to our entire family. His paralegal, which we constantly communicate with, was very helpful, professional, & patient with us. She kept us informed and up-to-date. By the grace of GOD and through the determination of Mr. Champagne and his team, we can sing Victory is ours.
With no doubt Mr. Champagne’s integrity is almost unheard of in this field. Mr. Champagne serves with passion and fight fearfully to keep families together. For that and many other reasons we are and will always be grateful for his service.
Last but not lease, for any immigration issues, we will not cease to refer everyone who come across our path to Mr. Champagne law office.

Extremely helpful & understanding!
We consulted with Mr. Champagne in December 2017 & we officially started our immigration case in February 2018. Going into this we were very nervous & we didn't know what to expect, but they gave us the confidence that we needed. They always prepared & informed us on everything we needed to know. Him & his paralegal were always very helpful & kind. We never felt pressured or intimidate with them. I was mainly in contact with the paralegal, it was so easy for me to just email or call her with any questions. Cases like these can be very stressful but having a strong backbone is essential to succeed. Now May 2019 my husband is officially a permanent resident & we couldn't be any more happier & grateful! Thank you!

I hired Mr Champagne while I was in Elizabeth detention facility. Though I didn't have enough money for bail bond, he helped me get out (paroled). Since my case took long time (7 months) he helped me get working permit while waiting for my hearing day. My case was very complicated, he never gave up! He fought for me until I got my green card.

Top Best Lawyer In New Jersey
He helped me with my case with his full potential, got me a bail that other lawyer couldn't get. I recommend him to anyone with any related case or others. Outstanding job
Posted by Noel | October 27, 2010
This lawyer is top notch, he turned my immigration case around and won me my greencard.
i had hired a lawyer in New York and he was horrible, so i fired him and hired Joseph Champagne, now my case had been denied and was going no where fast, i handed it to Mr champagne and he turned it around for me and wrote an amazing letter to the Board of appeals and got my appeal sustained, and now im waiting on my green-card.
Joseph champagne was highly recommended to me by three other people and i was skeptical but he sure lived up to the hype, he was better ,hell he was amazing full stop. If you are living on the Jersey sore and are fighting an immigration battle and your lawyer sucks just fire him and hire Mr Champagne , remember this is your life your talking about here and if you have the slightest doubt that your lawyer isint doing what you are paying for well dont waste a second do what i done , call him up and say im sorry im not happy with how things are going and i want my case mailed to me and hire Mr Champagne , it will be the best move you will ever make , remember it takes a great lawyer who knows the ropes to get your life on track and get you your stability back in your life, immigration is getting tougher and tougher and soon it will be so expensive you will not be able to even afford it anymore.
Point , hire the right lawyer because it makes a difference and Mr Champagne made a difference in my case and now i am free of looking over my shoulder and i can visit my family at Christmas and on special occasions , ive missed all my best friends weddings because of some dumb lawyer who just wanted the money. Call Mr champagne today if you are having the same problems i had you wont regret it.
Good Luck..

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked together on a case with Mr. Champagne. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the law. We had a client who was facing jail time and a ten year license suspension on a third offense DWI. The outcome was our client ended up serving 0 days in jail and his license suspension was a fraction of what he was facing. I would strongly recommend Mr. Champagne."
