Immigration lawyer the best

I contacted Irwin Berowitz after a friend recommended him to me. I made an appointment to consult with Mr. Berowitz. With my wife, we discussed our cancellation of removal case. Mr. Berowitz gave us a realistic evaluation of our chances of winning. We felt comfortable with him. We thought that we co...uld trust him. We hired him. I know some people who consulted with Mr. Berowitz who were told by him: You really have no chance of winning your case. Don't waste your time and money. A lot of immigration lawyers don't do that. No matter how weak a case is, they convince the person to go ahead with the case and spend lots of money. Mr. Berowitz was in Court with us every time that we had a hearing. He also filed our work card applications whenever that was necessary. He does not have a secretary. Every time I called, he answered, even during the weekend or when he was out of town. Mr. Berowitz worked hard on our case. Our judge was tough, but we won our case. The DHS attorney did not appeal. After more than 25 years in the USA, my wife and I are now Permanent Residents and have the Cards to prove it! If you need a dedicated and experienced immigration attorney, I highly recommend Irwin Berowitz to you. He will do whatever he can to help you be successful. R. MARTINEZ SALAZAR

Much Appreciated!!!

I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Irwin Berowitz for about 20 years. In the year 1993, my father hired Mr. Berowitz in regards to acquiring his naturalization. Over the course of the years, I have seen Mr. Berowitz put forth persistent diligence and hard work. He has devoted all his time and en...ergy towards litigating my fathers case. On behalf of my father, “Mr. Irwin Berowitz is an exceptional lawyer who has allowed me to achieve the greatest gift of all, my freedom.” As a third party, I have personally witnessed Mr. Berowitz conduct his services in a professional and ethical manner. With his provided services, my father was granted his naturalization in the year 2016. My father and I are beyond grateful for all Mr. Berowitz has done for us. My first encounter with him was when I was only a baby. I have grown to know him throughout my years of middle school, high school, and currently, college. I personally am extremely grateful knowing that my father is here to stay. No father should be separated from his child, especially his daughter. Mr. Berowitz has eliminated that possibility. For that, we are truly thankful for all that he has done for us.

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 came here in 1990. When I got married to a citizen, I tried to get the green card but did not. After that, we divorce. When I meet Mr. Berowitz, he tell me: Your daughter can file for you! She was 21 then. I adjusted status and now have the green card for two years. If you want results from ...a very good attorney, go see Irwin Berowitz in New York City. He will be honest with you.
