THEN CAME ADAM

Before i met Adam Solow, i had given up on every immigration lawyer in philadelphia, i had seen them all and they all told me my case was a dead end. Then came Adam, from the very first meeting he listened to me like he needed me more than i did him. He told me he could find a way, he was willing to ...strap on his boots and fight for me and my whole life slowly began to change. He did not promise me anything, he was just willing to fight for me. thank you Adam, you are what a lawyer should be and more. Your entire staff are most helpful, down to earth and gracious. I am proud to call you a friend and my lawyer. Thank you. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE AND OTHERS IS NOT THE LACK OF STRENGTH OR KNOWLEDGE BUT THE LACK OF WILL and you had all the WILL to fight for my case and WE WON!! GOD BLESS YOU . Its been a long long road and thanks to SOLOW. ISBELL AND PALLADINO i can breathe free now. I can say thank you enough.

Green Card immigration process review

Adam was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the green card process right from filing the forms through to completion. The one thing that i appreciated more was that Adam was able to break down complex legal requirements and issues and put them across in a way that a person with a n...on-legal background could easily understand. He was also easily accessible and happy to help with all queries. All in all, an extremely thorough professional who was a pleasure to work with and i would highly recommend Adam Solow

Why you should hire Adam Solow, Esq.

I am a practicing physician for 30 years. My wife is a naturalized US citizen and we are blessed with three kids who were born here. They are now adults and are extremely blessed with their respective professional careers. Since I stepped on American soil my dream was to become a US citizen. I am... still a "green card " holder. As a student and as a resident physician I was extremely motivated, quite disciplined, studied hard, until I became the Chief Resident in Pediatrics and subsequently completed a full fellowship in Allergy, Immunology & Infectious Diseases in NY City and Univ. of Med. & Dentistry in Newark. Scientific articles were authored/co-authored and collaborated & subsequently published in medical journals. I received several awards & chosen as one of the best NJ Pediatricians in NJ Family Magazine four years in a row. I was fulfilling my American dream. However, because of a charge, an indictment and subsequent lawsuit early in my career I was denied to participate in a lot of HMO Insurance companies. I was told and I felt that it was hard to fight the charges since I was not an American. Subsequently, I was found not guilty in the courts and any criminal record was forever expunged. Nonetheless, once a doctor has been involved in any indictment, any HMO has the option to exercise who they contract with even if one is not guilty. My first attempt to apply for Naturalization through a Phila. Immigration lawyer almost 20 years ago was a nightmare. When he found out I was involved with an indictment, without finding of facts, he immediately convinced me that I could not be a US citizen applicant. I was personally devastated and emotionally scarred for years even though I was found not guilty. Thus, I never bothered to apply. On day I thought of applying for a US citizen since it was my long awaited dream. I googled for the best Immigration lawyers in Philly. I came across Mr. Adam Solow's client's review. I prayed and picked up the phone and the rest is history! Mr. Adam Solow is simply the best in the business! His staff are the most professional, very courteous, compassionate & user friendly. Any calls, e-mails were immediately, accurately forwarded to Mr. Solow the same day. If Mr. Solow is in court and not available, they will quickly reach me by phone or e-mail at once. My personal assessment of Mr. Solow is excellent. He is a great and a keen listener. Very non-judgmental. Extremely knowledgeable of the legal system. Every detailed question I asked is quickly answered accurately and appropriately. Because of his vast experience with Immigration, he easily could prognosticate and portray a detailed timeline of what I would expect which renders his client reassured and calmed down. These are important in matters of the complex judicial processes. I have not received an Oath taking invitation yet but I do believe that Mr. Adam Solow is the 5-star legal expert that can handle such a challenging case like mine. If I have to go at it again, there is no doubt in my mind, Mr. Solow would be The One.

I cannot think of an attorney who is more capable of rapidly assessing facts in a case, proposing a solution and doggedly pursuing his client's interests and immigration goals than Adam. On top of his unparalleled legal acumen are his morals, ethics, and compassion, all of which are of the highest degree.
