Highly recommend Paul!

I worked with Paul on my EB1A application, achieving a successful outcome. I was recommended to Paul by a colleague. Paul and I worked together on developing a strong narrative for my application. Paul diligently reviewed and provided his expert opinion on how best to communicate my work and its impa...ct, guiding me through the process of building a compelling case, supporting the requirements for an EB1A application. Paul’s very knowledgeable in various industries and has the ability to understand a wide array of technologies, their application and impact. Paul was always available for me via email or phone, and patiently talked me through the process, answering questions, providing feedback. Paul is dedicated, hard-working, resourceful and works with high integrity. I highly recommend Paul for Eb1A applications!

Best for EB1A (extraordinary ability)

I worked with Paul for my (successful) EB1A immigration application, and couldn't have found a better lawyer for this. EB1A application is a very time consuming process, which requires a ton of research and writing specific to the industry. Paul works closely with the applicants, understanding their ...industry and work profile and customizes the application appropriately to address each EB1A requirement precisely and simply, so that someone with no knowledge of the field can understand it. This is not possible for any lawyer, since there are 100s of different job profiles in each industry, and being able to understand it in depth and building an EB1A application around it is no easy task. It requires an extraordinary level of intelligence and effort, both of which Paul exhibited during my time working with him. Highly recommended!

EB1A approved - Thanks Paul for making this real

Paul's advise and guidance at every step of EB1A process -initial consultation, multiple reviews/comments/feedback on my application content, ideas on evidences were of great help in ensuring a successful outcome. He came recommended to me by my friends who have had great experience with his services.... Paul's work ethics are awesome and I really got to see the best of him personally and professionally while working with him on my RFE response. He encouraged and supported me throughout the process - first with preparing a detailed strategy for responding to the RFE and then with countless hours on phone and prompt respond to emails, comment on additional content, evidences, presentation. As they say, the true character of a person is seen in time of crisis..I found Paul to be extremely supportive during the crucial period of responding to RFE. I owe the successful outcome of my petition to his support and advise.

Knowledgeable, accessible and diligent

Paul is very experienced in the EB1 process. Throughout the 8-9 month process, he was accessible and took the time to review highly detailed drafts, recommending changes using relatable examples along the way. His support with the reference letters is unparalleled. Results matter the most and I'm hap...py that the guidance and efforts resulted in my I-140 approval.

EB1-A (Alien Extraordinary Ability)

I hired Paul to be my attorney for my Eb1A application. I had a great experience working with him. Right from the first consultation Paul provided detailed explanation of the individual steps of the application process. I had consulted with other attorneys before but Paul's diligence and level of exp...erience in working with standard and non-standard cases was evident in our initial conversation which is why I continued our engagement. The reading material that he sent over to help evaluate and collect evidence for my case was very thorough and very well organized. His approach of really highlighting my strengths encouraged me immensely. Although, he did not have specific experience in my field of 'Structural Biology and Biophysics' he went the extra mile to provide detailed templates for recommendation letters to be submitted with my application that were tailored to my field and my field of expertise. As a bench scientist, my ability to showcase the true value of my work to a non-scientific audience was definitely lacking. Paul's ability to bridge this gap I think was crucial in helping the examiner appreciate that the work that I do is important for the US economy and that I am at the top of my field. Paul is also very personable and he was always available for consultation when I had questions or concerns. I am very glad that he took the time out to call me to personally to congratulate me when my case was approved. I have already recommended Paul and his firm to others in my network and will not hesitate to do so in the future. I am very satisfied with Paul's services as my attorney for my EB1a application and thank him for making this journey to obtain Permanent Residence in the United States as smooth as possible for me and my family.
