Wish I had found this Lawyer much earlier when I started the process of immigration for my family members

This Lawyer is knowledgeable, does not prey on customers` ignorance to charge them exorbitant fees. I am very satisfied and wish I had met her much earlier when I started the process of immigration for my family. That will have saved me tens of thousand of dollars which I was charged from sharks of... Lawyers.

Outstanding Service

I was recommended to Ms. Cheryl David by another attorney who was familiar with Cheryl's outstanding reputation in the immigration court circuit. I was told "if anyone can help you, it's Cheryl". That in itself speaks volumes. I had been through several attorneys with no results on an issue that beg...an 11 years ago. Cheryl and her team were clear and concise on what to expect and held my hand through the entire process. All of my emails and phone calls were attended to and I never doubted that Cheryl and her team were doing their very best in handling my case. The positive outcome of my case solidified my trust in her and her associate, Lindsey Gauzza, who is wonderful as well, and I have just hired her to handle another case for a family member.

Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

Cheryl was highly recommended to us by my husband's colleague at his law firm. Our family member received a Notice to Appear after consulting with a previous incompetent lawyer who misguided her. We all thought her future was over and deportation was around the corner. We consulted with Cheryl and im...mediately was comforted not only by her sincerity but also by her in-depth knowledge of the complex immigration law, extensive experience, and involvement with the pro-immigration community. Cheryl was honest with us. My family member's options were limited, but Cheryl worked hard to get her the best situation she could have considering the political landscape and current immigration law. She was hopeful yet not misleading. My entire family found comfort with Cheryl. Personally, I value that she is involved with Schumer's office and has a network that keeps her abreast of policy changes with ICE and DHS. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone who is in any type of immigration situation. Her entire staff is welcoming and helpful as well. Learning from our experience, it is extremely important to consult with an experienced immigration lawyer with good intentions who is focused on the success of your case. Cheryl is clearly that type of immigration lawyer and we are very thankful for her expertise. Our journey is not completely over yet, so we will definitely reach out to Cheryl whenever we tackle the next step.

Excellent immigration attorney

My husband was in need of an immigration attorney. I consulted with 3 other immigration attorneys prior to discovering Cheryl David. I found her through a not for profit organization and she came highly recommended. From the moment I first spoke to her, I knew she was the one. She is extremely k...nowledgeable in her area of expertise. I explained the situation, and she knew immediately that he had relief. She is very down to earth. She treated us with respect. We were very comfortable when dealing with her. Her fees were reasonable. Her staff was also great. Cheryl answers the phone and returns calls. Great customer service. If you are in need of an immigration attorney, look no further. Cheryl David is the one.

Best Lawyer I Could Ask For

Having Ms. David as my lawyer was the best decision we as a family have made in our lives. I can't imagine a more equip, hard working, invested, and caring person to represent my family in ANY court. She took my family's case, which was not by any means an open and shut case. We were absolutely about... to be deported, we basically had no case and Ms. David managed to find a way for us to be granted our Green Cards and we are currently on our way to citizenship. Her and her team are awesomely caring, and hard working people. I would not recommend any other. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for all that Ms. Cheryl David and her team have done for my family and I.

"I am very impressed with Cheryl David's ability to successfully represent immigrants in difficult removal cases. Cheryl is a highly regarded by her peers in the immigration bar. Last week, she was reelected to the National Board of Governors of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). She also chairs AILA's New York ICE Detention and Removal Committee. I have been practicing immigration law for over 30 years, both for the INS and in private practice, and whenever I have a difficult removal case in the New York area, I refer the matter to Cheryl David."

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.
