Paul B. Grotas

Mr. Grotas and his staff at The Grotas Firm are extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful! They were always in constant contact, providing us with the necessary forms/applications required, and keeping us aware of each step along the way during our immigration process. This was very helpful, es...pecially since my husband & I live out of state. We were successful in obtaining a green card for my husband, and we do thank you!

I was absolutely desperate wham I stepped in to the office of Mr. Grotas, Esq... That day me husband had been arrested by ICE officers. Mr. Grotas give me hope, although the case was complicated, he would be able to bring it to successful conclusion. He evaluated his services $ 15 000 and asked for $... 7 000 up front. I was desperate to save my husband's life that I was prepared to not only give him all my savings, but sell all my belongings as well. Mr. Grotas saw that I was willing to go to any length and sacrifice everything to help my husband and decided to “stretch” the situation in order to get more money out of me. After one week, before completing and filing “motion to Reopen” he asked me for another $ 5 000 just to keep my husband in the same jail. He was in no rush to send “motion to Reopen”, saying that he is missing some reports, all the while asking me to give him more money. At that point I decided to take the case to another attorney where I did not have to pay $ 5 000 and yet my husband was not transferred to another jail. When Mr. Paul Grotas was asked to release all paperwork pertaining to my husband's case, he did not bother to even answer for while. Purposely trying to give me a hard time he would not present all the papers that were required. He only filed Form I-130 and charged me $ 6400 for arranging one visit in jail with my husband and 2 appointments with me. After 7 month of asking for detailed account of his services I received a bill. Needless to say, I was shocked. Mr. Grotas, unfortunately, is not the first dishonest attorney that I has come across in my life, however, he is much smarter and shiftier. I feel sorry that he uses his talent and abilities only for personal gain instead of trying to help when he can.

I rarely write reviews for any one, however, I am very pleased to say that Atty. Grotas has saved my brother from the horrible situation he was in while married to a abusive US Citizen. Me and brother sought the advice of Paul after reading great reviews on this website. i was skeptical at first bu...t as soon as we met him in his modest office in Manhattan, I have come to realize that this lawyer is very sincere and highly skilled. He was very emphatic to what happened to my brother. He helped us submit a substantial amount of evidence to USCIS. I do not wish to give out any more details BUT a few weeks ago, my brother's VAWA petition was approved without having to submit any further evidence to USCIS. We are currently waiting for his EAD and Green Card and finally...MY BROTHER CAN LIVE AND MOVE ON WITH HIS LIFE, PURSUING HIS OWN AMERICAN DREAM!!! Thank you Paul and to your faithful assistant Viviana...G
