Best Attorney

Had approached Jason for my green card and citizenship applications. His thoroughness and knowledge stands out. The process seemed daunting at first but his step by step approach helped calm the nerves and smoothened the entire experience. Would definitely recommend availing his services.

Don’t look further!!!!!

As we sit here starting my life in Pittsburgh, a dream my husband and I have been dreaming for years, this would have never been possible if not for Jason. At the beginning of the pandemic we had a mishap with another lawyer and when we spoke with Jason he was kind, understanding and addressed our co...ncerns and picked up where we were left off. He was always so helpful and quick to answer my/our (many haha) questions even when I thought they may have been silly. The process feels so long and unknown but overall he filed everything meticulously, attentively and he got me here so quickly! He is patient, genuine and someone you feel comfortable with that gave us all the hope possible. This is what sets him apart, he understands where we are coming from and looks at us as not just clients but humans too. Jason, from the bottom of our hearts we cannot thank you enough. When we felt so defeated and unsure and looking for a helping hand yours is the one others can be trusted to reach for.

Attorney Jason Karavias - Excellent Attorney

We recently retained Attorney Karavias to handle a petition for changing the immigration status of a relative. He handled our case flawlessly from the beginning to the end. He was knowledgeable, thorough, detailed, timely and caring in providing instructions for our preparation of information and doc...uments, responding to our questions and concerns, and conducting ourselves properly in the interview with USCIS. Our petition was expeditiously approved by USCIS. We were very happy with the results. He is one of the best immigration attorneys whom we have known in the United States. We recommend him strongly without reservations.

Amazing Lawyer

My husband and I highly recommend Jason. He is an amazing attorney and person.He cares about his clients very much, he is detail oriented, very organized. Great thing about Jason is, he does all paper works by himself(without assistant) .We had pretty complicated case, because of my previous Attorn...ey who did not care about my case and did not feel responsibility for what she does. After her i had consultation with a few lawyers and none of them told me about the issue i had, when we came and talked to Jason, he explained very properly, what needs to be done and the issue i had . We started working with him right away.He is professional at what he does, we could reach him anytime, he always responds if we have any questions. Finally after 6 years of living in USA and 1 year of working with Jason we received my permanent residence card(green card). He made our life more beautiful. #1 Lawyer in Pennsylvania.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
