Excellent

I had spoken with many attorneys to get an E2 visa. I couldn't find any satisfying answers for my questions from other attorneys or they wanted to charge me consultation fee or start the process before I fully understand what is going on. David is extremely knowledgable about US Immigration Law and ...he patiently answered all my questions, he described the path they are going to follow one by one. May be I asked same questions over and over he patiently answered all my questions about my immigration and cooperate questions, he also organized real-time telephone consultation with other immigration attorneys and with other corporate attorneys. I was asking a questions and several attorneys were from different branches were giving their opinions and advised during the consultation meeting. After I see this much of professionalism, I had chosen Davies and Associates for my E2 application and for my corporate attorney works. My E2 visa is issued, I came to the States, I brought my family. I can not be more satisfied with the service provided by David and his associates an Davies and Associates LLC. I am still in contact with David for all my immigration needs and as a friend after all efforts he had shown. I highly recommend David Cantor for your immigration needs.

Excellent Attorney - L1A New Office Petition

Hi, I worked with David for the L1A new office petition. I must say that it was great experience working with him. It is just unbelievable that how knowledgeable he is. I met him briefly once and he was able to understand everything in that short meeting. They have a great system "Dropbox" for... sharing the document that will hold all your documents and you can access them at any time, it works great. I had a really complicated case an i was losing hope. But i must say that David kept me going and always assuring me and giving confidence that it is possible to have a positive outcome on my petition. He kept us going and was extremely responsive with any queries that we had and yes we had many. He always made us ware of his travel plans and whenever he was going to be away from his office. He also ensured that he communicated that what is the best way to get in touch with him whilst he is away from his office on business trips and also during his vacations, which is just commendable. He put in a lot of hard work just to ensure that we can have the petition approved and yes a lot of HARD WORK, he is an attorney who is working for you and doing everything that is required to be done. And he finally did it, got the approval and we applied through premium processing and we got the approval quickly. He is brilliant and if you ever need a great immigration attorney, then do yourself a favor, please contact David.

Excellent Attorney

I worked with David for my L1A new office petition. I was highly pleased and satisfied with David's professionalism. My petition was already denied once. Our business was a new office L1A case and small relatively to other large corporations filing L1's and that was the biggest challenge to present ...our case! I had many meetings with David in the buildup to filing the petition in order for him to understand my business. David was my 1-to-1 attorney for his firm. and was always available and kept me informed on progress My petition was approved in less than a week without having an RFE(which are so common now for L1) as all the points were covered in the main petition and nothing was left unattended. Coming from a denied petition first time and getting an approval without an RFE in my opinion is definately commendable. A case presented to USCIS needs to be presented once and presented well otherwise one will only waste time and money. I would definitely recommend David Cantor as I found great rapport working with him on my case and he was very well organised in presentation of my case to USCIS.
