Amazing!

Nothing less than Amazing! After my husband had received two denials for his Green Card application, Joshua took on a very difficult case. He kept us informed, explained the processes, and the potential outcomes, good or bad. His honesty and dedication are apparent, and he is fortunate to have the... Wilds & Weinberg team behind him. Thank you, Joshua.

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.

Superb

Excellent lawyer- through and through. Joshua was amazing throughout the whole process of my dads immigration woes- he gave us the confidence and attention, that we needed as a family to feel assured in our dad's case. God bless Joshua and he is highly recommended and appreciated for all that he has ...done for us.

Personable & attentive experience from the start to finish

I've had the pleasure of working with Joshua on my marriage based petition for the green card. Our case had some intricacies and we interviewed many companies prior to making the choice. While there a lot of immigration lawyers, Joshua right away stands out from the masses. From the very first ...interaction with us - he was attentive, up to date on the most recent information on our case and provided great suggestions. Beyond all, while the process can be stressful and uncertain to say the least - Joshua made us feel comfortable each and every single time. We had multiple interview preps & other in-person and video calls regarding our case. He did not rush us and explained every little question that we had with easy to understand terms. With great certainty I can say that we were in great hands while working with Joshua! Thank you for working with us and for helping us achieve the status of the green card holder!

Astounding Lawyer

Joshua's attention to detail and dedication led us to one of the best day's of our lives. He was there for my mother from the beginning till the end of her case. He goes head on with any challenge no matter how difficult the case may be. He is thorough with his work, and research. Gave our family ho...pe and made sure we saw a new day. The steps he took from working the case to preparation prior to the interview was beyond our expectations. We have recommended him to our close friends and family. No doubt for all our future needs he will be the one we hire.
