Fantastic immigration attorney

Since Mr. Irwin Berowitz helped my brother won deportation case in 2013, I have introduced both my cousin and my former neighbor, in China, to Mr. Berowitz, and both cases have resulted in success. I'm writing this review not because he has done a great job in all these case, I just think Mr. Berowit...z needs to be known to many, in the New York City area, who can benefit from his immigration service. He is very straight forward, hard working, and really knows what he's doing. On top of that, his fees are very reasonable. Let me briefly explain the the three cases he helped handle so far.  The first one was for my brother, who was facing deportation in 2013.  We hired Mr. Berowitz after meeting with many other lawyers, and I was so glad that we hired him to handle my brother's case. My brother was in immigration custody, and facing deportation, because of the fact that he had criminal convictions and he was only a green card holder.  He did serve his time for the crimes he committed. Mr. Berowitz went to visit my brother in jail several times, and had meetings with my family many times, to go over what exactly needed to be prepared.  He took a thorough, step by step approach.  During the whole process, IRWIN BEROWITZ responded to my texts or emails right away, which I really appreciated.  After Mr. Berowitz helped my brother win his deportation case, I introduced my cousin and my neighbor to Mr. Berowitz. My cousin and his wife had won their political asylum case in 2013, but never received their green cards, and were still waiting for their daughter to come to The United States, from China, to reunite with them. When my cousin told me that their lawyer said all they could do is just wait, because there are so many cases like this with the USCIS, and there was nothing they could do to expedite the case. I thought of Mr. Berowitz, called him, and explained the situation to him. We ended it up transferring my cousin's case to him and, within couple of weeks, Mr. Berowitz found out that one part of the USCIS did not know what another part was doing.  Mr. Berowitz helped connect different departments within the USCIS, wrote a complaint letter to the USCIS in Washington, D.C., and that really helped moved the needle. As a result, my cousin and his wife received their green cards, and their daughter immigrated to the USA from Mainland China last summer. We are all grateful for Mr. Berowitz's dedication. After my cousin's success story, my neighbor (from China) who's here in the USA, contacted me and told me about his immigration dilemma. He won his asylum case a couple years ago and was in the same boat as my cousin, that is, no response from the USCIS for a long time.  I introduced him to Mr. Berowitz, he transferred his case over to Mr. Berowitz, and within a few months, he received his green card.  All in all, I highly recommend Mr. Irwin Berowitz for immigration law service. He's honest, straight forward, very reasonable and very responsive. He knows immigration law very well, he knows what it takes to win the case, and he works hard on winning the case for his clients.

I became a conditional permanent resident, but got divorced one year later. I needed help to file the I-751. My took me to see Irwin Berowitz. I like the way he talk to me. I hire him. We work together, and he file the application with some paper of mine. He made me ready for interview. We wen...t to interview together in New York City. I had only little problems with the questions. I passed, and got my ten year card 15 days later. I can tell you that Irwin Berowitz really know what he is doing, has much patience, and does the best of immigration lawyer job.

Irwin Berowitz really knows what he is doing. My application to become a permanent resident had gone nowhere. Immigration had it for years. I hired Mr. Berowitz. He jumped in right away. A few months later, I got approved - - I had been waiting 20 years! If you need a really good immigration at...torney in New York City, call Irwin Berowitz.

Best immigration lawyer in New York City!

I came to USA in 1989 and got asylum four years after. Then I got some bad luck. A woman had me arrested. I get charge with felony. I had trial. Not convicted. I had second trial. Convicted. Many years I spend trying to become permanent resident. In my family, six people, and I am only one not citize...n. No one helped me. In 2007, with interview one week away, my lawyer said to me, I don't know more what I can do for you. He recommend Irwin Berowitz. We work together, apply with waiver, and get bad decision from Immigration. We do not give up. Mr. Berowitz said, We will file again and work hard together to get what you deserve. We did file again. Mr. Berowitz got all kind medical records, psychological records, bills, statements, and affidavits. We submit big waiver application with my application for green card. At interview, Mr. Berowitz spoke beautifully with the Officer, answering all questions like gentleman, always helping me. Even after interview, Mr. Berowitz and I went to different courts and offices to get more papers to help me. Mr. Berowitz handed those papers to Officer. Decision came in mail this Saturday. What good news! After 22 years, I am now permanent resident and will receive green card in the mail soon. I cried and I cried. My wife cried, too. Thank you Irwin Berowitz. You do great work
