Excellent Lawyer

I contacted Mr Assamen off a tiktok video I saw of him speaking on immigration matters. He responded very quickly and offered me a consultation that convinced me to hire him. He took care of my case with precision and ease. Understood what is exactly needed for the case and provided those materials i...n timely manner. Because of that we were able to win and have my status reinstated. His attention to detail and understanding of the immigration laws is very good and I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for an immigration lawyer to consult about a case.

Exceptional Immigration Attorney. A True Professional!

I worked with Assamen on an immigration case, and I can confidently say he exceeded all my expectations. After speaking with several attorneys, it was clear that Assamen stood out due to his exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge of immigration law, and his kind and respectful demeanor. I hired ...him immediately and it was the best decision I made. From the beginning, Assamen was honest and realistic about my case, offering clear guidance and setting accurate expectations. Despite working under a very tight deadline, he managed everything with calm confidence and ensured that all paperwork and steps were completed on time. Thanks to his diligence and expertise, my case was approved. If you're looking for an immigration attorney, look no further. He’s one of the best out there.

Assamen is not only a great lawyer, but he is also a great human being!!!

My family and I arrived in the US four years back leaving everything behind in search of refuge and safety. If you know what I mean, everything feels gloomy for a family that makes unplanned and forced relocation. With the uncertainties of securing a legal status in the US, your life is essentially ...suspended while you go through the process. That's why you need to find a good lawyer that can guide you through this stressful process. I consider myself very lucky to find Lawyer Assamen Tessema at the most stressful time of my life. Assamen is not only a great lawyer, but he is also a great human being. As a good lawyer, Assamen listened to what my family and I went through before we came to the US and verified everything while showing us empathy and respect from beginning to end. He shared our stress, pain, and sadness. He showed us all the right ways without making any false promises or assurances. He basically helped us move on with our lives in a new country. Assamen was always available to answer any questions I had. He made sure that I understand every step of the process and handled everything with an impeccable professionalism. He was as happy as we were when we secured our legal status in the US. He has also become a true advocate for my whole family and remains involved in giving us advice in different immigration related processes including adjustment of status and employment authorization. If you are living in the Philadelphia area and are looking for an immigration lawyer who knows what he is doing, a lawyer that understands and respects you, Assamen is the first to consult before you go elsewhere. Thank you Assamen! God Bless You.

Found the Perfect Immigration Attorney when we needed him.

During the early part of the pandemic, I had to leave my fiancée in Ethiopia and, upon returning stateside, figure out how to work through USCIS paperwork to get her here ASAP. Luckily I found Assamen searching online and he was the the ultimate key to unlock this complicated system. He possessed two... attributes that were particularly helpful: 1) deep knowledge and understanding of the US immigration system as it pertains to both the fiancee visa and marriage change-of-status process and 2) with his Ethiopian background an understanding of documents and the process my now-wife needed to go through in that country. As it turns out, Assamen also possessed a deep patience for the anxieties of going through this long and opaque process during this unprecedented period in world history AND had the most reasonable rates for his services that I came across. The results speak for themself- my wife arrived on the 90 day visa and has subsequently become a green card holder all based on submissions to USCIS that Assamen helped us prepare. I highly recommend him for anyone in a similar predicament.
