A honest and knowledgeable lawer who stands committed to his clients.
We first engaged Lee an Garasia in 2005/2006 and since then Mr. Lee has not only handled our immigration matters but we have referred many relatives and friends to him. A very knowledgeable and compassionate person. He spends quality time with is clients, listens to them patiently and most importantly he guides his clients very well and is very honest. While handling a very complicated immigration case, he very clearly told us that he will think and explore the possibilities of the success and only then he would sign up for the case. Do we find this kind of honesty these days? BTW - he sorted out that complicated case successfully. I would strongly encourage everyone to consult Mr. Lee for all immigration matters.
Working with Mr. Lee put a lot of my frustration and confusion to rest. Mr. Lee is well versed in immigration law. He is an experienced lawyer who is mindful that he is working with people, not cases. He patiently explained process and procedure to me. He touched base with me often and worked hard to be my advocate. He produced results in a timely manner. It was refreshing to find a lawyer who still embodies compassion and fairness.

Green Card (Family Based)
It was an excellent experience with Lee Garasia, we had to visit only couple of time to the office. one is to just drop all required documents and another preparation prior to interview. The lawyer fees was also reasonable and you can effort it. They will give time to adjust with your financials. Amazing customer care support. I would recommend to people who are really waiting or spending so much time on their family based Green Cards !!
Thanks to Lee Garasia for making the job easy !!

Not just immigration - an attorney with in-depth knowledge in many areas of law
Over the years, Paris Lee has successfully handled a range of immigration matters for my extended family (everything from green card processes in the U.S. and abroad to citizenship), so naturally I came to him when I received a hefty speeding ticket! I already knew that Paris was a highly respected expert immigration attorney, but I was wonderfully surprised with his familiarity with the courts and New Jersey state laws and procedure. Thanks to Paris' discussions with the prosecutor prior to my appearance in court, he was able to have all points on the ticket dismissed! I was of course extremely pleased - it was clear that only Paris would be able to attain the result I wanted, through his longstanding presence in court and the respect he has earned over the years. His in-depth knowledge of not just immigration law, but also other areas of practice as well is a testament to Paris' wide-ranging expertise. I would not hesitate to seek out Paris' assistance for any future matters, and I will continue to recommend him to family and friends.

Filed for my Wife
I used Lee & Garasia to help bring my wife over from Turkey. The process was very smooth and the staff was always responsive to my questions. My wife is here with me and I am very happy with the result. I would not hesitate to used them again.
We worked with both Mr. Lee and Mrs. Garasia for my husbands immigration needs. They were both extremely knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, and put us at ease. They took the time to go through all of our details and answer every question that we had, thoroughly. The day of the immigration interview, Mrs. Garasia put us at ease and it all went very well, just as she had explained. Many thanks to both Mr. Lee and Mrs. Garasia for the wonderful service and attention provided.

Best - Knowledge, Follow-Up, Integrity
My family member was suspected of shoplifting case, which had possibility of immigration consequences. Mr. Lee guided us with the process. He came up with the best and worst case scenarios. His follow-up and analysis of the case was top notch. Wish there are professionals who can treat their clients like he does. His integrity was bar none.
He also had great rapport with the fellow lawyers, which helped with moving the case forward. Currently the case has been dismissed.
If you are looking for honest, dependable, high quality immigration lawyer, I can't think of anyone other than him.

I hope you take my word for it and go to Mr. Lee and Mrs. Garasia, as your immigration lawyer.
