Just the best attorney! No doubt! Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! If you're looking for really professional immigration attorney so in my opinion Denis Petre is the best attorney in NYC. And it's not just words, that's true! I had experience with other lawyer before and I'll tell you it's a huge difference! Today I had a hearing in the court about... my asylum case and I was granted very fast. Denis and paralegal Sergey did the great job, preparing my case and me to the hearing. I see that Denis and his team really want to help people, for them it's not just daily work. Denis Petre is very experienced lawyer, he is active, responsible and very talented. I saw how confident he was in the court and he did it! He won! I'm very grateful him for everything he's done. For me he's the hero today! Also I want to thank paralegal Sergey for his great paperwork and desire to help. I highly recommend Denis Petre as attorney at law. You no need any advertisement, just keep dooing your great job. Thank you again and may God bless you and your family!

Denis is a lawyer who really cares

After 2 lawyers that messed my case up due to their indifference and carelessness, Denis was able to put it all together. He is very knowledgeable, professional, as well as sympathetic and caring. Immigration case is a very sensitive subject for most applicants, and for some it's their Achilles' heel.... Denis supported me throughout the year from the master hearing to the final hearing, which we WON!!!! I highly recommend him to everyone.
