Highly Recommend!
Working with Kevin was an amazing experience from start to finish for our immigration needs. He is incredibly responsive and every time we had a question, he answered quickly and thoroughly. He even met with us before charging anything, offering guidance and honest advice that really showed he cares ...

Knowledgeable Attorney
I had an in depth consultation with Kevin over the phone. He gave me and my husband his advice about our immigration case and how we should proceed with our case even if we do not hire him. He was patient and understanding. He had a lot of information.
