A dedicated immigration attorney

The Law Offices of Gary Healy Esq was instrumental in obtaining my P3 cultural visa. Gary explored all the options that were available to me and did so in a clear and concise way. I left my first consultation with him feeling a lot more positive about my situation. Other immigration attorneys had pre...viously advised me that I did not meet the criteria for the P3. His knowledge about the law and the creative approach that he took towards my application were immediately impressive. Having moved to the US himself Gary understands how tough the visa application process is and works hard to make the entire experience as stress free as possible. I felt comfortable reaching out to Gary to voice any concerns that I had and he was always more than happy to help to offer guidance. I could not recommend Gary highly enough to those seeking assistance with immigrating to the States. Thanks a million for all your hard work Gary!

Excellent Service

Gary and his team of lawyers efficiently processed 74 visa petitions for our company over the last months, all successfully approved and at very reasonable price. I recommend their services to anyone seeking immigration advise to the USA

Thorough, timely, and very detailed oriented

We have retained Mr. Healy's service on a variety of immigration matters over the last three years, such temporary work visas, permanent residency applications, I-9, and citizenship and naturalization applications. His work has been very thorough and timely. He has always been responsive and detail... orientated. We have been so impressed with his services, that we have retained Mr. Healy on an annual retainer for our company.

Sympathetic and responsive immigration attorney!!!

I have had several immigration attorneys, who never responded timely, or sought the most economical and efficient method to obtain permanent residency for me. Within eight months if retaining Gary Healy, I secured a new H1B visa and adjusted to lawful permanent resident status for a fraction of the ...cost of my previous attorneys. I believe his own experiences of immigrating to the US make him a very sympathetic and understanding attorney. I recommend Gary Healy unreservedly to anyone seeking immigration assistance to the US.

Gary Healy - Immigration Attorney

Gary has guided me through the legal minefield of immigration law on a number of occasions, helping me secure a H1B visa in the past and presently preparing my greencard application. He has a personable demeanor and is extremely understanding of the stress of clients during the visa application proc...ess. He helps clients understand all available options and explains these options in a concise and understandable manner. Unlike other attorneys in the field, he is always available to take a call or answer an email and I have no reservations in recommending him to friends and colleagues seeking immigration advice.
