Best decision ever

Me and my husband hired Jason for my greencard process after our marriage. It was the best decision to have him as our immigration lawyer. The entire process of getting greencard to getting an extension till getting my citizenship was very smooth because of how organized and knowledgeable Jason is. H...e accompanied us in all of our interviews and was always very punctual. His insights helped us to collect the right documentation throughout the process and prepared us well for our interviews. He was very prompt in replying all of our questions throughout the process. If you want immigration process to be smooth, hassle free and stress free, Jason is the right person to get advice from. We recommended him to all our friends and family too.

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.

Excellent attorney

I had an excellent experience with Attorney Jason Karavias. He handled my case in a professional and respectful manner. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He always returned emails and phone calls promptly to answer any questions I had, and his fees were reason...able and fair. I would highly recommend Jason Karavias.

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.
