Exceptional

Without a doubt, I am fortunate to call this dashing lawyer a personal and family friend. Whenever we have any problem to be sorted out, we go straight to Peter. In an anecdotal reference, when my mother had to deal with unfair traffic ticketing, Peter had found all sorts of holes in the prosecution,... proving my mother's innocence in the matter. She was so happy with his professional manner of handling the case, that when my younger sister had a traffic problem, my mother directly went to Peter to represent my sister in court. Once again, his thorough case studies and detailing went above and beyond our expectations, and incidentally the prosecution's as well. Since then, he has helped in our cases of immigration, business, social security, and other matters dealing with the state laws. He is very courteous and friendly in the office, and reminds you always that he is on your side. Perhaps his humor is something to adapt to, but in a matter of a few meetings, you will find yourself splitting sides and jovial, with confidence that he really will pull through for you. In fact, just the other day I visited his office with a friend that was in all sorts of trouble. He was serious, but there was a twinkle in his eye that calmed the nerve of my friend very quickly, and he assured that he would be able to handle the case without a hitch. Since my family has witnessed his fire in court, I have no qualms to reassure my friend that Peter is indeed the real deal. I have referred several friends to him, and not only is he very open, he is very reasonable with his rates. If Mr. Kollory is not your first stop, he will certainly be your last stop for legal matters in NJ. He answers calls within the day, and his professional manners have him placed at the top of his peers. I don't even think twice and remember to keep his business card on hand to proudly say, "I am being represented by Peter Kollory."

Peter s Kollory did not perform Immigration and Business service on time

I hired Peter S Kollory to perform immigration and business service to my organization. He took the money upfront. He did not have a plan/schedule to complete the task on time as it was time based. He did not give any dates and deliverable's that he should perform based on my input nor gave a plan fo...r me to deliver to accomplish his milestones. Because of his inability, lack of knowledge and experience our immigration petition was not filed before the 2013 H1B quota closed on April 05, 2013. He does not have any policy on communication and co-ordination. Phone calls and emails were not returned on time. It was a very BAD experience and lost time and money using his service. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND HIS SERVICE TO ANYONE NOR WILL GO BACK TO HIM.

Replied last July 30, 2013

This response is to the complaint filed above. I am the attorney involved in the H1b filing on behalf of Paxton Consultants Inc. As to the repetition of the complaint above, Mr. Emmanuel filed a complaint with Ethics Committee of the Supreme Court of New Jersey and it was thrown out on or about May 14, 2013. H1b visa process is not easily understood by most new companies as the complainant above. It is a complicated and complex process involving Department of Labor and USCIS. His case was delayed at the Department of Labor employer verification because the client did not have documents to verify his tax identification which caused the delays. By the time we cleared it to file with USCIS, the quota closed, and about 40,000 excess petitions were rejected by USCIS. This is one of them. What happened is unfortunate but I have never taken advantage of a client even when they could not afford the attorney fee. And by the same note, as stated to complainant earlier in May 2013, he is welcome to reconcile the matter in my office to re-file transfer petitions at no cost.

I can definitely recommend Mr. Peter Kollory, he is very good and knowledgeable lawyer, I don't know about other guy's review about Mr. Peter Kollory, all I know is I heard about his good reputation, his honesty and help to clients that was the reason I have approached him and carried away with the s...ame impression, he did two H1Bs for me in very difficult times. The fees he charged are OK for me.
