Chris Edward Gafner

I live in Portland OR and never met Chris in person. All my communication was via e-mail, regular mail and phone. Mr. Gafner was extremely prompt and efficient. He had answers to all my questions and guided me right through the naturalization process till I obtained a passport. I would highly recomme...nd Chris Gafner for Immigration related legal advice and services.

I am a Canadian professional who had looked at a number of US immigration categories, and interviewed attorneys both in NY state, and in California, before selecting Mr. Gafner. I conveyed my professional background in discussing options with a number of attorneys. All-in, I spent a number of week...s doing due diligence on attorneys, as it is a long process to determine appropriateness, feasibility, etc. (especially in relation to a number of visa categories I was potentially eligible for). I was looking for a professional, trustworthy straight-shooter who could represent me best as a client. Mr. Gafner was forthright and professional from the get-go (the initial consultation), unlike the Palo Alto attorneys I had also consulted. Once I decided to become I client, he remained prompt, professional and no-nonsense, and he was clear in outlining, explaining and confirming what I had to do, and which documents were required. He was also very quick in getting back to me throughout the process, in understanding my business needs and the structure of my case for USCIS, and in explaining correspondence to me. Chris has both a scholarly and practical understanding of US immigration laws, and an ability to gauge a client's need and speak directly to all steps within the process, as well as manage expectations. Incidentally, my outcome was successful. I also recommended him to a Canadian colleague who is looking at the investor visa category for the US.

Mr. Gafner is an excellent attorney. He helped me with my citizenship application. We went through the whole process through email which was pretty convenient for me since I have a busy schedule. I was surprise how fast Mr. Gafner replied all my inquiries. I requested him to show up for my interv...iew and he was there to guide me. He is an effective communicator, courteous and a person with high integrity. I found Mr. Gafner website randomly through google. He responded to my questions in less than 24 hours. I picked him after calling other firms who treated me like they were doing me a favor. His firm demonstrated an excellent customer service. This is why I picked them. I highly recommend him without reservation.
