Excelent work

I have been working with Adam Sollow and his firm for the last 18 months. Adam handled two visa related cases for me and my family both very succesfully. Initially, he handled my H1B visa application while he was preparing my EB-1 outstanding researcher case. Both cases were accepted easily by USCIS ...indicative of the high quality work performed by Adam and his collaborators. Personally I was impressed by the clarity and simplicity when he explains something to someone who is not a lawyer, indicative of the deep knowledge of his work subject. As my representative, Adam has been very cooperative and responsive, keeping me informed for all the steps during the process. As a person, Adam is friendly, open to discussion and trustworthy. I higly recommend Adam Sollow and his firm. Thank you guys, you have done great job

Outstanding Immigration lawyer!

Adam Solow helped my wife and I navigate the green card process last year. He was amazingly knowledgeable about the whole process, and carefully walked us through every step. Navigating USCIS can be a very opaque and difficult process, but Adam made it as easy and painless as possible. He and his off...ice were extremely helpful and efficient, and we sailed right through. I would highly recommend his services to anyone!

I-601 waiver approved and my family united thanks to Adam Solow

My husband and I sought assistance with a I-601 waiver and Immigrant Visa (Permanent Residency). The task ahead of us was daunting and we dreaded having our family seperated by over 2000 miles. Because of that, we felt that it was in our best interest to hire a lawyer for our case. Immediately, I ...was pleased with our decision. We started the I-130 in January 2011 with the help of Adam Solow. My husband had his first Visa interview on December 14th, 2011. On January 10th, 2012 my husband turned in his I-601 waiver packet which was approved on July 18th. My husband's final interview was on September 20th, 2012 and he boarded the plane for the United States on October 20th. Through all of this, we helped by our lawyer every step of the way in a manner that was not only professional, but friendly, compassionate, and personal. Even before my husband left for El Salvador to begin his wait for "legalization," our lawyer, Adam Solow, was hard at work. Within only 10 months from our filing date in San Salvador, my husband was home! Not only did this match the estimate that we were given by Mr. Solow, but it further proved what an asset a good lawyer can be for a case. The process was long, confusing, and frustrating at times, but our lawyer was patient and diligent. I was kept informed and always felt assured that we were on the right track. If at any point there was something that I did not understand or a part of the process that seemed to be stagnant, our lawyer was quick to seek out any information that might help our cause. Mr. Solow went out of his way to exhaust every possible option to help my husband to return. Even after his return, our lawyer e-mailed us just to see if my husband had received his Resident Card in the mail yet. I really felt that the well-being of my family was important to Mr. Solow; we were not just another case. We had names, faces, and personalities...all of which our lawyer had come to know. I was always confident that Mr. Solow cared about our case personally. I know that if it were not for the efforts of Mr. Solow, my husband would not have returned as quickly as he did. I would urge anyone who is getting ready to undergo this process to get a lawyer...and if at all possible, hire Adam Solow. My family is together again and we are forever grateful for all the Mr. Solow did for us!

DACA Case Approval

I filed a DACA case with Adam Solow, Esq. in mid-September. When I walked into Mr. Solow's office and explained to him my situation he made it clear that the Dream Act was a good shot for me to acquire some documentation. He gave me a fair price and gave me a list of all the documentation that was ne...eded in order for me to file this application. I returned a week later with everything I needed and my application was filed. 3 months later, here I am and I am now legal in the United States. As soon as my application was approved, Mr. Solow informed me via personal phone call. He was very timely throughout the whole process. I am very happy with the work Mr. Solow did for me and I would not second guess hiring him for any other Immigration cases I might have in the future. I strongly recommend Mr. Solow, he is a good lawyer, a great person, and honest unlike most lawyers. If you need any help with an Immigration matter, Mr. Solow is a good hire.

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. Adam is someone I would trust with my own legal problems without a second thought and someone to whom I would entrust the legal matters of my own family members."
