BRILLIANT. HIRE HIM!!!

When my employer hired Pablo to do my Green Card PERM application, I was in dire straits. My prior green card PERM application had been denied because the mistakes of the earlier immigration lawyer and I was very upset since I was under the impression I would have to leave the country within a couple... of months. He reviewed my case, and within days came up with an amazing plan that resulted in me getting my PERM certified and helped me continue living and working here. In addition to being a very competent lawyer, he is very easy to work with.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Pablo helped me to obtain a rather tricky working visa (H1-B to be specific). His professional and detail oriented skills made my case successful in a quick time. He's always available to support and face the endless immigration related issues. I would definitely ask for his service again in case ...I'd need it in the future.

Simply the best and most professional lawyer

I have the pleasure of having Mr. Pablo Velez as my lawyer for my asylum application. From the beginning, Mr. Velez guided me through and explained very clearly every step that I would go through. Although my case took a very long time, and despite my numerous email to him, he always responded quickl...y and explained the legal process and where my case has reached. Mr. Velez was very patient with me and my constant asking for updates on my case. I would like to take this chance and recommend Mr. Velez to anyone who is looking for a straightforward, professional, understanding, intelligent, and easy-going lawyer. He's a conscientious man who works hard to make his client satisfied and happy. After my case was adjudicated, I want to thank him for his unlimited help.

Excellent

From the moment we first contacted Pablo about filing for a green card for my wife, he was incredibly attentive, patient,insightful and accessible. He answered all of our questions, kept us involved in the process, and simplified things for us so we were able to understand everything that was going o...n with our case. Whenever we had a question, Pablo was quick to respond. Never once did he assess us a hidden fee for something, whether it be additional consultation, or for assistance in the procurement of certain documents. Overall, our experience working with Pablo was incredibly positive, and for that reason we've already recommended him to others in need of an immigration lawyer.

Great Immigration lawyer

I hired Pablo to help me immigrate to the US from Europe. From my experience there is a lot of times where you want to be able to ask about the process, or get an explanation on the paperwork due to the phrasing that can be hard to understand for a common person. Pablo always got back to me in a... matter of a day or two, responding to the questions i had. I had a lot of questions. We spoke on phone when an email would not be enough. The service that Pablo provide is beyond great and price always felt fair. Pablo is a lawyer i trust and find competent and would happily recommend to anyone whom wants help with immigration. Thanks Pablo.

"Pablo is a SUPERSTAR immigration attorney. He will go out of his way for his clients and carries himself with such professionalism. Unlike other immigration attorneys, Pablo is wholisitic in his approach. He ensures that his clients' tax, real estate and corporate issues are all taken care of in a cohesive fashion by working collaboratively with outside counsel on areas of the law outside of immigration. More immigration attorneys should follow Pablo's lead and take the wholistic epicenter approach to international clients. Bravo Pablo!"
