I very enthusiastically recommend Paul in the field of immigration, particularly for cases involving litigation and federal appeals. Great lawyer, great person.

Paul is one of the most highly respected lawyers within the community of immigration lawyers in New York and around the country. He is a recognized expert on deportation defense cases, and frequently sought as a speaker by AILA and other lawyer associations. He is committed to defending immigrants in the most difficult deportation cases - those where the immigrant is detained because of criminal convictions, and has nowhere else to turn for help. Paul is also extremely generous in donating his time to mentor less experienced lawyers who reach out to him for guidance in handling their own cases (that would be me!). Paul has repeatedly been there to help me with a difficult problem in one of my cases when I have been stuck and under great pressure. His vast experience and learning makes him the go-to lawyer for clients and colleagues alike. Finally - he's a very nice guy with a great personality - you will always find him approachable!

Having worked with Paul on Immigration matters in the past, I know him to be an extremely knowledgeable and dedicated Immigration attorney. Paul can be counted on to put his clients in the best possible position they can be in to achieve their desired outcomes. I give Paul my full recommendation and endorsement.

Paul is an excellent immigration attorney with particular expertise in successfully representing clients facing complicated removal (deportation) proceedings. He is a frequent speaker on this topic and is highly respected by his peers. I fully endorse him without reservations.

Paul Grotas is one of the best immigration attorneys in New York City. He is creative, dedicated to his clients and understands the system and how to get things done. These qualities make him stand out. He also has an excellent reputation among other immigration attorneys in the city. Bottom line, I would want Paul representing me if I had a difficult immigration issue.

Paul is a class act. He cares more about his cases than even his clients do and won't give up until he does everything he can. I have gladly referred him immigration clients and will continue to do so knowing they are in the right hands.
