Changed Our Lives

The law office of Cheryl David was more than just a "lawyer" Cheryl & Michelle David went above & beyond to improve our chances for Approval. Honestly our case wasn't very strong, it didn't seem to be coming together. We went to a few different lawyers who took our money & just saw us as a case # mor...e than people. Cheryl and Michelle genuinely cared & did everything possible to keep us informed, they communicated with us constantly (Almost daily for over a year), coming up with small bits of important information that over time framed a stronger case. We got an approval of our I-601 Waiver & was issued a Visa. Everything went smoothly, they kept our mind at ease throughout the entire process. I've still gotten advice & information from them even after our case was over. I highly recommend them...!!!

So thankful for finding them

I was recommended to this firm by a friend, who is also an immigration lawyer but was leaving the country so he couldn't help me. And, I could not have been happier. (That says something too, when your competitors recommend you) First, for me, it was important to feel a connection to my lawyer, to ...feel like she understood me and we could communicate well. Cheryl, within the first few minutes, proved to me she was unlike the other lawyers who I "interviewed" for the job. Conversation ran smoothly, she asked all the right questions, answered mine with ease and with confidence and most importantly spoke the truth. After our initial meeting, she directed me towards Michelle who then sat down and embedded herself in my story with my fiancee. She left no small detail untouched. I think the best reviews are the most honest. So I will copy and paste the email I wrote to Michelle after my fiancee and I received our VISA. This was from the heart and direct. "Dear Michelle, The work you have done in supporting both Victor and myself in being together is beyond what we could have imagined. Your dedication and focus with helping us to get all the material we needed and then reading through all of it with a fine tooth comb and creating an incredible summary of our lives together was just truly amazing and skillful. We appreciate everything you have done and look forward to working with you again when he comes to the states." There is nothing I would have done differently, oh yes.. hire them from the beginning. It would have saved us a LOT of time rather than trying to do it on our own. If you are thinking of doing it on your own, I strongly suggest rethinking. There are too many details, hiccups and unknowns to figure this out without a lawyer. And this is the law firm to help straighten out all the kinks.

Superb service, knowledge and professionalism

I had a very complicated case to say the least, I was very discouraged by my situation and to be quite honest thought there was no way out of it (wont get into details). Ms. David was recommended by two different attorneys and she lived up to and even exceeded my expectations. Ms. David and her offic...e are extremely knowledgeable, respectful and helpful, even in a case as difficult as mine they assured me the entire way that they will be able to take care of everything; They kept me updated throughout the entire process and in due time everything was taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend her services

Extremely intellectual and a Trusted Attorney who yields excellent results.

I want to share with all who is reading this, that our lives were touched by one of the most intelligent, powerful, and astounding attorney, Ms. Cheryl David. Cheryl and her staff are all very dependable and very affluent in speaking on all issues regarding your immigration case. Below is a detaile...d narrative of our case and experiences. Cheryl speaks from her heart on your case; she understands what separation means to a family during the deportation proceedings. Cheryl is very aggressive, respectable and takes on a great challenge of winning a losing case. Our case appeared to be one of those cases. Cheryl is super methodical and knows very well all areas of immigration matters, the changing laws, rules and motions. Please read our story which confers to our testimony of Attorney Cheryl David. My brother is married to a US Citizen and the father of two American children. He followed his childhood sweetheart to this country and was illegal for many years. His wife sponsored him and he was denied legal status. During the interim, my brother was involved in 4 DWI’s and was arrested on his last charges. He was obviously illegal in the US and thus was taken to Hudson County. During the agony of all that was happening we met Attorney Cheryl David whom we initially heard of but were already working with another Attorney. We severed links and continued onwards with Ms. David. My family including my brother’s wife and children were devastated. We underwent mental counseling but Cheryl made the last 7 months realty of unifying our family again. Ms. David and her office staff are very diligent, very compassionate and understand what separation from loved ones means. Ms. Cheryl David is very versatile with all aspects of immigration she worked my brother case in ways that we thought were impossible. Cheryl undertook a serious case and never gave us false hopes. She looked at both sides of the tunnel with us; she discussed with us the possibility of immigration not allowing my brother to stay in the US amongst other issues. However, on the day of trial Cheryl with the court room full of cries and swollen faces, Cheryl brought a new lease of life to all of us. Because of her expertise and superb knowledge she managed to conquer a battle in the courtroom. Cheryl WON our case any my brother came home after 7 months. In summary, without any hesitation and just when you feel that life is against you, please speak with Cheryl for all your immigration answers.

Superb service, incredibly friendly staff, Cheryl doesn't take NO for an answer

My case was not an easy one and C. David's firm helped my family's American Dream become a reality. My parents' political asylum had been denied and they received several notices to leave the US through the years. This decision, we felt, was irrational since my parents had more than enough eviden...ce that they had been victims of extortion in our native country. We reached out to Cheryl David when my mother was detained (arrested) by immigration officers immediately after a scheduled appointment she had with the USCIS. My mother was then taken to different facilities throughout the northeast in a matter of 3-4 days with no explanation while, at the same time, Cheryl was building a strong appeal to have my mother released. My mother was released on day 7 after being detained and shortly after was given the chance to appear in another scheduled appointment to receive her green card. We still don't know how she made this possible; it's truly remarkable. Cheryl David and her team do not take NO as an answer. Our appeals, especially on my father's case, were rejected many times with no logical explanation and this seemed to have bothered Cheryl. We appreciate every effort she made to insist with USCIS and the US Government to have our cases reopened. This made her seem as if she were part of our family and she exhibited true concern for all of us (This is the key to her success in my opinion). She was always available to answer questions--even at times we were frustrated or lost our temper. My father's interview with an immigration agent took place three months before my wedding abroad. The goal was for him to receive his green card so he could travel to my wedding. Instead, they told him they needed to review his case further but that he would receive a decision in 60 days. When we reached the 60 days we were afraid he wouldn't make it to the wedding and, worse, that he would not receive his green card for some reason. This is where Cheryl and her team come into place. For the next few days they made calls, wrote letters, and investigated why this was happening. Long story short, I said good-bye to my father at JFK airport on Wednesday before the wedding because we didn't get an answer by then. On Thursday, Cheryl's team reached out to me while I was abroad to tell me they pulled off one of her miracles and my father would come to the wedding. That is the best gift I received. In summary, ample knowledge, charisma, and persistence begin to describe Cheryl and her leadership skills.
