H1-B renewal

I was referred to Paul by a friend and have worked with him on successfully renewing my H1-B visa through my hiring company. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Since the time we were introduced, I have called and emailed him several times regarding different matters and he has al...ways patiently listened and answered my questions in a very detailed and informative way, which I very much appreciate. I am happy to be able to count on him in regards to all immigration matters and would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent lawyer.

Professional and efficient

Paul was introduced by a friend's law firm. He helped us with the green card process for my wife. He took care of everything and even coached and accompanied us to the final interview. He is very professional and all in all a great experience as everything went smoothly. Highly recommend him for imm...igration issues.

Thank you Paul!!!

Paul is an amazing lawyer. He helped me throughout the lengthy process (lengthy on my end) of getting things in order for my E2 Investor Visa and successfully filed my case. I highly recommend Paul to anyone with an O1, E-2 or other business related visa case. We worked together remotely. Everything ...was perfect.

A very Experienced and Professional Attorney

Paul was hired by my company to file for my green card. He did a great job on that. Years later, when i became eligible for my citizenship application, i consulted Paul and everything was done with no issues. I highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs the service of an immigration attorney.

Good experience, I obtained my visa

The company I work for hired Paul Devendorf to require a Visa for me for my job. He was the second lawyer we contacted, and in the first case the visa we selected to require was not the correct one, and was therefore denied. Paul re-examined the situation and suggested me to require a different typ...e of visa that was more correct for my situation, and this was the right choice because the Visa was granted in a very smooth procedure and in a reasonably short time. He also helped me to obtain a temporary entrance into the US while waiting for the answer on the main visa. He was available to answer all my questions, and clear in his explanations. I would absolutely suggest to hire him if looking for a immigration specialized lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
