Knowledgeable, Detail Oriented and professional Immigration Attorney

I had received an RFE in my GC application and I was very confused regarding how to reply to it. I had approached some other lawyer before, who made me even more confused. I am very glad that I was able to find Attorney Glen Raj, who handled my case in a very professional, thorough and insightful m...anner. I had initial consultation with Attorney Glen Raj via Avvo, before hiring him to work on my case and right away I could tell that he had great knowledge of the immigration system and its laws and I felt very confident in his knowledge. He went through all the fine details of the relevant laws pertaining to my issue and prepared a very thorough response that would have been very hard to deny. My case was approved within 2 weeks of submitting the response. He was very easy to communicate with and always promptly responded to my phone calls/emails. I would most definitely recommend Attorney Glen Raj to anyone seeking help on any immigration issue.

Thank you for your review Inderjeet. I would say I look forward to working with you again, but that's never a good sentiment in immigration law. Good luck to you.

A wholesome lawyer

I have experience with Glen's consultation when considering O1 visa. What I can tell you is he's not some kind of lawyers who take your money for nothing. If he thinks you're not gonna win the case, he'll honestly tell you. Though my case is too weak for him to work on, I was glad talking to him as a... versatile attorney who knows the field pretty well.

Uniquely compassionate, articulate and professional immigration attorney

I would like to thank attorney Glen Raj who recently counseled and assisted a client and close friend of mine with her quest for the U visa. Glen's thorough understanding of her case and articulate explanations of difficult subject matter was melody to our ears. His expert legal knowledge of complex ...immigration cases combined with his unique sense of compassion allowed my client the calm and confidence necessary to achieve immigration status. Through his detailed advice, constant follow-ups and work beyond the hours, Glen's commitment and ethical sensitivity to such a fragile case makes me enormously grateful and enthusiastic to recommend him to others.

Great legal experience

Mr. Raj handled my petition for citizenship in a timely and professional manner. He was supportive, responsive and caring. He took care of my issues, kept me informed and up-to-date in every aspect along the way. His professionalism was extremely reassuring in handling the paperwork, questions and... details in my petition for citizenship. I highly recommend him, he delivers results and gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process

EB5 Consultation

We were looking to set up an EB5 operation and engaged Glen to discuss the various options and ways about setting things up. Glen has been very patient, reliable and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. A professional, his price is competitive and is extremely easy to work with. I would highl...y recommend him to anyone who are looking at EB5 or any immigration issues.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
