It has all been a wonderful experience with Stu on our side
My wife and I were apprehensive in selecting an immigration lawyer this time after our first did not end quite as we expected it. We never like an over the phone consultation as it lacks that personal connection and I felt like we were under time pressure the whole time. Stu was recommended to us by...

Working with him goes very smoothly as he understands your problems and concerns well and carefully takes them into account. ...

My son had a tricky Visa problem to sort out as his H1B he had won in the April lottery was due to kick in on Oct 1 but he had left his previous employment and was still job hunting.

"With a great track record of hundreds of published answers to consumer questions on Avvo.com and the recommendations from clients and attorneys alike, it is easy to see that attorney Reich is skilled and knows the law well, too. Kudos."
"I endorse this lawyer. He gives good, solid, practical advice."
"Routinely provides insightful and accurate advice on Avvo. I endorse this lawyer."
"Top-notch lawyer. Highly respected in the legal community."
"Mr. Reich is an excellent attorney with years of experience. I gladly endorse him."
"I have had the pleasure and honor to know and work with Stuart for more years than I think either of us would wish to admit! As Co-Chair of the Committee on Immigration and Nationality of the New York County Lawyers' Association, I have had to organize many CLE courses, and Stu has always been ready and willing to share his knowledge, and his reviews have always been outstanding. Highly competent, thoughtful, professional, and caring are only some of the words I would use to describe him. A client can rest assured that they have chosen a great lawyer if their choice is Stuart Reich."
"Stuart and I are members of the New York County Lawyers’ Association (NYCLA) Immigration Committee. I first met Stuart years ago at one of the Committee’s meetings; since then, both of us have attended numerous such meetings. In addition, I have referred numerous employment-based cases to him; it is a subspecialty of immigration law that I do not handle, as I have limited my practice to family-based immigration. On the basis of the tremendous knowledge of the law, as well as the graciousness to his colleagues, that Stuart always displays at these NYCLA meetings; my personal and professional communications with him over the years; and the extremely favorable feedback regarding his work and personality that I have consistently received from clients whose cases I have referred to him, I have only the utmost respect and affection for this extraordinarily capable and conscientious lawyer."
"I highly recommend Stu Reich. He is a top-notch immigration attorney and a wonderful person. We first met while working as attorneys at an immigration law firm in 1997, and have remained in contact since that time. Over the years, we have worked on projects for the New York Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association such as the advocacy/media committee and a 2009 article and presentation at the AILA NY Chapter conference. I consider Stu to have a comprehensive knowledge of employment-based immigration. He also is well-versed in the use of technology for law firms and always is able to explain the latest developments and how they help us in the practice of law. He is a great lawyer and a great friend."
"I am familiar with Stuart's top flight work from when I worked supervising him. He has always been an intelligent individual and applies his keen analytic capabilities to serve his clients. He has outstanding experience with immigration law and I would not hesitate to recommend him."
"I have served on professional committees with Stu, and I seek out & trust his opinions on complicated legal questions. He is smart, ethical and a pleasure to work with."
