Excellent support and guidance with the immigration process

After some less than stellar experiences working with a different law firm, it was a breath of fresh air working with Joshua and the rest of the team at Wildes & Weinberg. Joshua went above and beyond to provide me with both the micro and macro views of the entire permanent residency application proc...ess. I felt supported and comfortable asking any questions throughout the process. It was clear that they knew what they were doing and exactly how to best prepare me and my spouse for success. I felt really confident going into the real interview after Joshua grilled us in a mock interview. Joshua even accompanied us to our interview and helped us answer some clarifying questions with our case officer. I strongly recommend Joshua as an attorney and would 100% work with him and his firm again.

First Class service and attention to detail

My case wasn't the most difficult but it certainly had areas that may have given the authorities reason to dig deeper into the history had Joshua not applied due care and attention from the outset. We needed a skilled practitioner who not only understood immigration practices in the US but also had ...knowledge of a broad aspect of UK law that was applicable to my case. On our first meeting it was obvious to me that he took the time to understand the complexities involved and also get a sense of who I was and the relationship we would have in order achieve a successful outcome. His good humor added to his professionalism was something which really gave me the believe that we had made the right choice in engaging in his services. When you have full confidence in your representative you feel assured that you have someone who will leave no stone unturned to ensure a successful outcome, that is how I felt working with Joshua. He is an accomplished lawyer with an effortless ease in the way he goes about his work. I couldn't think of a reason to not recommend him to any body who needs advice in this area. Thank you Joshua, you really have made all the hard work worth it. I'll see you in a couple of years for Part II.

Talented lawyer who is dedicated to his clients

When my dad initially retained Joshua’s firm, his case was assigned to a different lawyer. My dad’s case was then postponed to this year due to COVID, and Joshua took over my dad’s case. I never had the opportunity to meet with Joshua prior to the court date, and I was initially concerned that he may... not know my dad well. However, as soon as I met him and witnessed his interaction with my dad, I felt completely at ease and I was confident that my dad had found a lawyer who would advocate for him. Joshua's experience and knowledge of the law gave us the confidence that he was able to handle my dad's case effectively. I was impressed by Joshua’s professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. I was touched by his interactions with my dad and my brother, and the relationship that they built while preparing for the case. I truly believe that without his meticulous preparation and clear communication, we may not have had a positive outcome. I also believe that Joshua would have been a strong voice for my dad, even if the outcome of the case was not what we hoped for. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer. He is a skilled and experienced attorney who will fight for your rights. He is also a compassionate and understanding person who will take the time to listen to you and understand your needs. Joshua's actions have had a profound impact on me and my family. He helped us through a difficult time, and he made us feel like we were not alone. We are so grateful for his help, and we will always consider him a part of our family.

Luisa, Thank you for such a thoughtful and kind review. It was an absolute pleasure to represent your father, and I was so glad to have you (and the rest of the family!) in attendance during his final hearing. I'm so pleased we were able to achieve a positive and just result!

Fantastic support through a difficult case

We hired Joshua's firm to manage the process of applying for a family based green card. Our case is more complicated than most, due to some criminal history which required us to seek a waiver of inadmissibility. When the previous attorney left the firm, Joshua took over the case, and provided excell...ent services throughout the remainder of the case. He coached us well around how to handle a challenging interview process, and provided a lot of support to us as we gathered all the required materials for the petition. We finally received the green card after a very long waiting period. During this time Joshua did a great job keeping us in the loop on what might be happening, and keeping us informed about what our options would be in every eventuality. Honestly could not have asked for more. Thanks Joshua!
