Deportation

I highly recommend Feiner & Lavy P.C., Attorneys at Law. When I arrived at Yaniv's office I was in one of the worst moments of my life. facing deportation. without hope and with a lot of anguish and sadness.Many lawyers told me there was no hope for my case. that my case was very difficult to win and... that I was going to be deported, there was nothing to do for me .When I met Yaniv, he explained to me the process and my options .He told me that he would try his best to help me and stop my deportation. First he opened a motion with the judge, he applied for a work permit wich was approved and then. We went to court and my case finally was approved by the judge and I will receive my green card. Thanks to Yaniv. Danijela and George who worked hard on my case with a lot of dedication and effort. I am very grateful to the entire team for all the wonderful work they did for me. I always going to be grateful with this amazing team I highly recommend Feiner & Lavy P.C., Attorneys at Law Thank you so much !!!

Does not provide more than filing forms.

Yaniv does not seem to care much about he client on a personal level. It seems to me that I paid a significant amount of money up front just to file some forms with no assistance beyond submitting the forms. I have prepared and sent all the required documents to their office - it ended up sitting on ...a paralegal’s desk for 2 weeks without being touched and that person ended up leaving so someone else picked up my documents to start working on the application. I also asked Yaniv in advanced what documents will be required during the interview so that we can prepare those documents from my wife’s country as it takes 3-6 months to get something as simple as a birth certificate with an Apostille. He said not to worry and that we don’t need any more than we have now. That was a sign that he didn’t pay attention to the documents I sent because the birth certificate did not have an associated Apostille which is required by USCIS. I went ahead and started doing research on my own for the entire visa process and once I realized what was required, I started to prepare the documents and received them just in time for the interview for a premium of having to pay for flights back and forth the my wife’s country (we applied from a different country). Lastly, when we came in for our in person “prep” for the interview for the adjustment of status - he asked us if we were a client already and if we ever met. The prep was nothing more than him giving us directions to the USCIS office and emailing a list of general questions. In short, I was expecting that paying a high premium for assistance you get more than their office filling out a few forms and sending it in. Otherwise, I could have just found the requirements for the forms online (which is simple to do). Maybe my expectations were too high. Other than that - some of the paralegal staff and assistance are generally friendly.

Most knowledgeable and compassionate office!!!

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the office of Feiner & Lavy PC and their wonderful staff. I was very fortunate to be referred to this office by a friend. From the very beginning until the end, Mr. Lavy and his team guided me through my case with patience and care. They responded to my q...uestions in a timely manner and worked diligently, which is why I was able to obtain the documents I applied for in a matter of just a few months. I would like to say a special thanks to Jihan for guiding me and being so compassionate throughout the entire process. (She’s the best!) The team had helped me take a big step forward to the American dream.  This office perfectly illustrates an example of how a team of professionals could truly change someone’s life for the better. Once again, words cannot describe how thankful I am to this office. The staff almost became like my second family.  I would definitely recommend this office to someone looking for a knowledgeable lawyer. Thank you very much

The best lawyer in New York city!!!

I want to give my appreciation and thanks for all the prompt and hard work that mr. Lavy and the people that work with him have done for me. From the very beginning, mr. Lavy worked with me preparing me for my interview with the department of immigration. Even though i was nervous about the whole pr...ocess, mr.Lavy and his staff made me feel at ease and instilled confidence in me while preparing me for the interview process. I also want to commemorate mr. Lavy on how quickly and efficiently that my interview date was expedited and how smoothly the interview went, mostly because how well mr.Lavy prepared me. Also considering the fact that i was nervous about the whole process of getting my green card i'd like to say that every time i called mr.Lavy office with a question he was almost always available to take my call and when he was not available at that time he would promptly return my phone call as soon as he received my message. Lastly i would like to thank mr. Lavy for everything he did for me and for the compassion he showed me while going through the immigration process in order to secure my green card.
