Expert advice for problematic visa application

I consulted Mr. Calev about a difficult situation that arose during my application for a special visa for Brazil. Mr. Calev responded rapidly and provided expert advice, explaining the law and giving the basis for his reasoning. Indeed, Mr. Calev's analysis and recommendations were right on the mark ...and all worked out well. Mr. Calev was outstanding, and based on this experience, I recommend him very highly.

Very very very good Immigration Lawyer

First, I hired a Law firm, T.L. Group, to represent me before a Judge. It was a political asylum case. Three years later, T.L. Group lost their licence due to various misconducts with their clients (I paid them $7500... for nothing). I was in trouble, I was at one month from my hearing, and I need...ed a lawyer who will be smart enough to prepare my defense and be ready, within only one month...! Then, Benjamin Calev came into the picture and worked on my case , from the scratch... A month later, this was on June 8th 2015, Attorney Calev succeeded the unthinkable : He was ready. He represented me before the immigration Judge and... We won. I was then granted Political Asylum in the United States. Whoever you are, if you need an Immigration Lawyer to represent you, I strongly recommend Benjamin Calev.

Thorough, affordable, and professional!

Mr. Calev was an excellent lawyer, who handled my wife's immigration package with speed and expertise! I thought I could submit the forms without a lawyer, but I am so glad that I didn't. He really knew the ins and outs of the process, providing expert advice and information that the USCIS website ...doesn't share. I know the process would have been a nightmare with out Mr. Calev. He always kept me involved in the process and was very personable. Rest assured that Benjamin USAC Calev is the right man for the job and will get results.

Fearless Attorney and a good listener

Got my NY Order of protection dismissed and also prevented me from being held in contempt. Ben is equal parts calm and sharp. Handled my complicated multi-jurisdiction case flawlessly. Highly recommend !

Commendation

This notice serves as a commendayion fot Mr. Benjamin Calev. We were referred to him and when we called him it was immediately acknowledged thst we had found someone who could hrlp us. We explained our situation and financial hardship To him and he was still receptive as this was a minor case. Wh...en it was time to go through the proceedings he worked diligently and the turn around time was quick. Mr. Calev is the type of lawyer we would recommend to anyone as he is down to earth and lets you know whst to expect up front in this day and age where no one is to be trusted we take that statement back when it comesto MR. Calev he is sympathetic, trustworthy, and a friend. Eric A. H. & Janine A. C..
