AMAZING! KNOWLEDGEABLE and INVESTED in your case!

I cannot praise Gary Healy enough! He was an asset to us in our time of need. Our organization had previously retained another attorney who mislead us and had us apply for the wrong Visa, to which we were denied by the US Embassy twice. Faced with a very tight and nearly impossible timeline (less ...than 15 days) to obtain P3 visas, Gary jumped on board with us and went to all ends to ensure that we got the visas in time to have our adjudicators travel. His professionalism, knowledge, undying dedication, and compassion for our situation and case will never be forgotten. He truly was a gift from God to us in our time of need. I highly recommend Gary to anyone that needs help with immigration law. I will never go anywhere else.

Thoughtful, Responsive, Results-Oriented Lawyer

We worked with Gary on a time sensitive, complicated and very emotional family immigration case. From our very first conversation, Gary embraced our situation with compassion and a shared sense of urgency. While other lawyers were quick to dismiss our case by telling us our only options were the obv...ious plain vanilla ones, Gary took the time to research our situation and think creatively on our behalf. He came up with a number of viable options and a renewed sense of hope. It's clear that Gary is the kind of lawyer who understands the human side of law, and is not only focused on starting the clock running - which we found was the case for almost every other lawyer we spoke to. We are forever grateful for his sage counsel, knowing in the end the decision we made was done so with all options carefully considered. My family and I simply cannot recommend Gary more highly. He's an example of an exceptionally talented and ethical lawyer who cares deeply about family and the emotional toll our current immigration laws have on them. He’s the kind of lawyer who will not rest until he’s exhausted all possible avenues. Thank you, Gary. We need more lawyers like you. Forever grateful.

I higly recommend Gary!

I had a great experience having Gary as my immigration lawyer. He helped me throughout the whole process. He explained very well how is the process of getting a green card and provided my partner and I with a great quality of service. When I had any questions, he always was quick to answer. I highly... recommend Gary as an immigration attorney. He is highly qualified and would assist you very professionally.

Excellent lawyer for Nonimmigrant Visa and Green Card!

I retained Gary Healy to secure an O1B visa which was approved in less than two weeks after filing. Two years later I retained him and his firm to file a self petitioned EB1 for Permanent Residency. After hearing so many horror stories about denials, request for further evidence, and long wait time...s, I was presently surprised to find out that the petition had been approved in just over three months, without premium processing. Gary and his staff are attentive, detail orientated and very reasonably priced, I strong recommend them whether it is for permanent residency or a nonimmigrant visa.

Green Card Application

We hired Gary to obtain a green card for my husband. He was always professional, was able to answer any and all questions we had, ans was always very quick to respond to us. He made what could of been a very stressful process feel relaxed. Best of all, we showed up to our interview prepared and got t...he green card!
