Outstanding service with excellent results

I was facing a felony charge in February, 2016 which could have resulted in multiple years in prison. My aunt recommended Mr. Calev who fought hard for me to get a reduced sentenced and be released from jail. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience was with Mr. Calev. It was ...such a relief to know there was someone looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend him to anyone fighting any type of criminal charge. Also, he is very good in advocating for his clients.

Would highly recommend Benjamin Calev

Benjamin was great about keeping me informed with every aspect of my immigration case. Made me feel welcome from the first minute I walked into his office. His great interpersonal skills and knowledge made it a pleasant experience to have him as my attorney.

Immigration

Benjamin has made what seems impossible possible with my case. He is the only lawyer that was able to resolved my complicated case where others failed or didn't have a clue as to how to solve my case. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and his kindness and accurate preparedness of the... necessary paperwork to get the information submitted to immigration. I'll definitely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Benjamin. You have changed my life for the better. I'll never forget what you have done for me.

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.
