Excellent choice as your Immigration Attorney
We decided to avail legal services for our employment specific Immigration petitions from The Murray Law Firm based off internet reviews,a quick check on AILA & a positive gut feeling. Right off the bat , Mr.Murray came across as a knowledgable Attorney with considerable Immigration related experience. His calm demeanor & straightforward attitude oozed confidence & we knew we made our choice. It definitely paid off when we finally received our Permanent Resident Cards a week back after a cohesive effort that commenced 14 months ago in Aug 2020. The entire Team at the Firm has displayed high standard of work ethics. They have maintained a consistent flow of communication, acknowledged urgent situations in addition to being respectful and courteous. They also highly appreciate clients who keep themselves updated with dynamic immigration related policies to the most possible extent. Mr.Murray was also available for quick catch-up calls whenever requested. He gives you a patient hearing and offers suggestion during sticky times. I would most definitely recommend Mr.Murray & his Team for Immigration related services, especially for JC/Hoboken residents.

Best Immigration Attorney
Dean P Murray is an experienced Attorney who has a great concern for the needs of his clients. He advised me correctly during my applications filing. He and his team did a great job for my GC and Naturalization applications by filing them quickly in the right way and got me the citizenship. I highly recommend this esteemed Attorney for the Immigration needs.

Extremely Happy Client
In the era of incompetence and missinformation, it is truly fantastic to find a practice that is reliable and understanding of all your needs. I first hired Dean in the late summer of 2013 amidst a messy divorce case. He was a one man practice and extremely busy. Add that to an already chaotic and thremdiously challenging situation on my end, his professional experience and calm demeanor, there was definitely light at the end of the tunnel. He was able to file all the paperwork extremely quickly and I was divorced by Christmas of the same year. I was amazed at the speediness of his practice although I was a new client that didn't bring tremendous revenue. Alongside that, he has assisted me with transferring assets and all that jazz that you would expect to happen around such events. I was truly amazed by the effortlessness and care he handled everything. Fast forward to about six years later, Dean and his team has assisted me with becoming a citizen and patiently explaining the process, filing all of the mounds of paperwork, consultations, various other communication and deadlines. His experience with USCIS has proven to be extremely valuable and the process was a breeze. My interview was on February 6, 2019 and having them present at the interview made everything absolutely effortless. I am glad I made that phone call back in 2013 and I hired him on a whim, off the internet. I honestly lucked out and couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a dedicated knowledge and extremely reasonably priced lawyer, look no further. I have nothing but praises for him and his team, it has been a true pleasure to work with on multiple cases and occasions. He is reliable, precise, professional, no-frill and his practise is absolutely fantastic. They have take time to meet on weekends, answer emails and phone calls within 24 hours before and after working hours and have communicated every change and update on my cases quickly and efficiently. Between family law and immigration law, various random questions, this practice is definitely reliable and a true pleasure to work with. There are not enough nice things to be said here and five starts are definitely not enough. But take it from someone who was completely lost in the beginning, you will be in the best hands there are.

highly recommended
Dean Murray is one of the best and professional lawyers I ever worked with. I was getting my uncontested divorce , that is how I found him. Dean took care of everything and gave me very reasonable rates. He also gave me some advises with my traffic tickets and helped me to find a right person to go to court with me. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

I am grateful to Mr. Murray for his excellent service.
I hired Mr. Murray to obtain the court authorization for minor to travel outside of the country because my ex-husband would not give his consent to it. It happened 5 month after the judge denied my request for travel, telling me that it would take me years to prove that I am not a flight risk. Mr. Murray has extensive knowledge on the topic, and was very well prepared at the court; he fought in the court room with excellent points, and won my case. Only thanks to him I was able to reconnect with my family. During the process, he kept me informed all the time. And I always felt comfortable to ask him any question. He kindly explained to me legal procedures and terminologies in very comprehensive manner. His professionalism, confidence and knowledge helped me to feel calm during the entire process. Thank you Dean Murray, your hard work effected lives of my entire family in a very positive way.
