Please avoid them

Neil doesn’t care about you, after 21 days from consult when we emailed several times and finally called, Konstantine Kalantarov, emailed while had no information and offered a thing that I checked with chat GPT told not possible, emailed him and he called and said: yes that way doesn’t work! Give m...e 1800 USD I will email Montreal Consulate!!! Avoid these people….

Reliable..

Neil and his amazing team of attorneys were the reason for my seamless GC application and approval. I had so many questions and concerns at the beginning of the entire process and they were able to completely reassure me of their competence and expertise. I have heard other people’s experiences with ...other immigration attorneys and I am glad that I retained Neil. I never felt less of a priority than anyone else in his capable hands. My every question was answered sufficiently and my documents were prepared perfectly. Neil and his team not only know the law, they also execute very well. I knew I had great legal representation in the hands of Neil and I never regretted hiring them. When the time comes that I am able to apply for citizenship, I will be sure to come back to Neil to get me through the finish line.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
