Recommendation

I am pleased to write a review for Mr Karavias. I was very much satisfied with his ability to handle my divorce. I will highly recommand him for any type of divorce.

Expertise, excellent communication and advice

Jason Karavias is very knowledgeable, respectful, polite and helpful. He always answered all my questions promptly and accurately. He provided excellent guidance through the adjustment of status process I went through that made the experience very smooth and successful.

Extremely dependable for immigration assistance

Mr. Karavias (Jason) presents himself in an extremely professional, personable and trustworthy manner. He reliably assisted my husband with his immigration process, enabling him to receive a permanent residency card within the projected three-to-six-month time frame that was quoted at our initial mee...ting. Jason's fees are reasonable, even low, compared to other attorneys in the same field, but his results are outstanding. You will be talked through the entire process in an articulate yet easy-to-understand way, while any concerns you may have are addressed in a prompt and educated fashion. I would highly recommend Jason's services to anyone attempting to navigate the often confusing and intimidating US immigration system.

Good vibes

To begin with, I did look online reviews of Jason Karavias ESQ, before I decided to get a legal advisor. However, the reviews were great and I wasn't sure if I needed an attorney to represent myself. I set an appointment to see how he represented himself and on my first meet I liked his professionali...sm and the knowledge he acquired in his field. I knew I couldn't go wrong with him. I decided to sign and hire him right away on my first visit. The first and the most important thing apart from how knowledgable he was, "Jason Karavias was there when I needed him". He responded my phone calls and emails immediately. The response via email and phone was outstanding. I felt he was really concerned with my case and provided me the right solution every single time. I knew he had my back if any problem would arise. He handled the case on time without any flaws, it just seemed like he was a part of a family member during that time. In addition, I strongly endorse Jason Karavias ESQ for immigration matters and he will treat you best with his ability to represent as your attorney. Likewise, I'm very pleased and highly impressed with his ability to interact with his clients. The customer service was phenomenal. Likewise, I was one of you guys who read the reviews before deciding to pick an attorney. However, I am here writing this post today, so that you all will have the top of the line service that I received from Jason. It was a pleasure working with him and I am highly satisfied with his service. I also recognize how valuable it is to have a professional attorney like Karavias to represent your case. Thank you.

Recommended Family Green Card Lawyer

When I decided to apply for a ‘family Green Card’ with my wife who is a US citizen, I did extensive online research to find as many immigration attorneys in New York City as possible, met with some in person and with others over the phone for free consultations. Mr. Karavias provided the most complet...e and realistic information about the process and, in addition, offered the most competitive rates for his assistance with the application case of the about 20 immigration attorney offices I reviewed. Mr. Karavias has established a very efficient process to collect all required information for completing all application forms and follows a conservative, better-safe-than-sorry strategy that maximizes the chances for success of immigration applications. He recommended reliable and prompt translation services for documents in foreign languages, conducted the submission of all required forms for both my wife and me and assisted in each step leading up to the issuance of my Permanent Residence Card. He was available throughout the entire application period and immediately replied to all emails and phone calls. I was specifically impressed by how accurately the predicted duration from application to issuance of the Green Card, given in my consultation as on average about 5 to 6 months, was fulfilled- Mr. Karavias submitted our applications in the beginning of May 2013, and I received the Green Card in the mail in the beginning of October 2013. A job well done! I highly recommend Mr. Karavias for Green Card applications.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
