AMAZING

His empathy for our issues and timely manner to respond was our biggest and most aporeciated trait Gary possessed, during our case. He was knowledgeable, conscientious , thorough and creative making Gary a wonderful and compassionate lawyer. If anyone can, Gary can - totally trusted him from start ...to finish, and got the result I wanted.

EB-3 Green Card

I consulted with Gary in September of 2017 following the sudden passing of my then employer and Green Card sponsor. Having been told by numerous immigration attorneys that my case was too risky to proceed with, Gary assured me that he could get it approved. From the inception of my case through to th...e interview process, Gary was patient, meticulous, responsive and always extremely knowledgeable. He outlined all the documents needed for my petition clearly and efficiently and was fantastic at my Green Card interview. He is compassionate and truly cares about his clients. I found out today that my Green Card was approved! Thank you Gary for helping me and other immigrants like myself achieve their dreams.

Outstanding Service

I highly recommend the law offices of Gary T Healy for all matters concerning immigration. Our Irish dancing organisation retained Gary Healy this year and we found him to be extremely professional and very quick to respond to queries. He was sharp and always there to answer questions or guide us thr...ough the Irish/USA immigration process. I cannot praise him enough.

Excellent Immgration Attorney

I have nothing but positive things to say about Gary. I recently got a new job and needed to transfer my work visa to a new employer. Gary helped be to transfer my H1B visa and the process was seamless. It took less than three weeks and I was able to start the new job on time. Gary is very experien...ced and always answered my questions right away. You can tell he really gives each of his clients 100% and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family.

Problem with visa

Myself and two colleagues were invited to the USA to adjudicate a dance competition. We needed to obtain visas to allow us to do this. We were given wrong advice by a U S attorney who shall remain nameless, and subsequently were refused twice by the US Embassy. Time was running out for us, we had jus...t over two weeks to get this resolved and a friend recommended Gary Healy. From the moment we got Gary involved the whole thing turned around for us. Gary's professionalism and commitment to getting the job done, was second to none. He advised and directed us and worked tirelessly on our behalf. We got our visas just in time to allow us to travel and we will be forever grateful to Gary for that. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone needing help with emigration law.
