Cancellation of removal case

Best attorney in Philadelphia! Adam Solow is very honest and hard working lawyer. We couldn’t ask for better person to represent us in immigration court! He was very supportive. He and his coworkers did a great job preparing our case and thanks to them it was easier for us to go through entire proc...ess. At the end we won cancellation of removal in front of the immigration judge! Thank you Adam again for all you’ve done for us! Wiktor. Polish language : Najlepszy adwokat w Filadelfii! Adam Solow jest bardzo uczciwym i pracowitym prawnikiem. Nie mogliśmy prosić o lepszą osobę do reprezentowania nas w sądzie imigracyjnym! Był bardzo pomocny. On i jego współpracownicy wykonali świetną robotę przygotowując naszą sprawę i dzięki nim łatwiej było przejść przez cały proces. Na koniec wygraliśmy odwołanie deportacji przed sędzią imigracyjnym! Jeszcze raz dziękuję Adamowi za wszystko, co dla nas zrobiliście! Wiktor.

Excellent lawyer and highly recommended

This all started years ago when were introduced to Adam from a coworker of my husbands. We wanted to start the process for my husband to become a legal citizen, and was advise at that moment my husband would need to leave the US for 3 years and at that point we didn't believe it was the right time to... start the process. Fast forward almost 8 years and 1 child later we decided it was time. We found Adam and started the process. Throughout this whole time Adam and his team always kept us up to date and completely informed on any paperwork needed, or any special appointments we needed to make. He was always approachable even if he was walkig out the door he ALWAYS made time for our questions (and boy did we have alot). Even if we couldn't make it to the office emailing him has always been an awesome way to reach him and his response would be in a very timely fashion. Once we received our interview date he explained everything that would happen from the time we left the airport here, to the time we came back. And everything that was explained happened, which made our process even more smooth. When we arrived after out interview date Adam and his staff made sure to make time for us just to make sure everything went fine, and basically just to welcome us back. You truly feel like apart of something bigger, not just a client. Would I recommend Adam to someone else, without a doubt I would, and we already have. He is very professional, but at the sametime very approachable. He is very sensitive knowing that this process is tedious but he helps you every step of the way. Along with his staff, when you walk in the door you feel like family. I cannot thank Adam and his staff enough for everything they have done for my family. Because of them the worry that I used to harbour in my heart is now a distant memory.

I'm highly recommend thus attorney

I came into America in 2012 based on my B1-B2 visa. I was hired my previous lawyer for marriage document which is I-485 with my ex-husband. We had never gone to the two years Green Card interview because he didn't want to. Meanwhile, my visa was expired and I lived in America without any paperworks. ...So, we got divorced and two years later, in late 2014 I met my current husband. We're married in February 2015 and re-filed my I-485 again. We had our interview for first time and it was pending for a while. The USCIS Officer didn't give us any reasons why it wasn't approved. Same time, I had to pay a lot of amount of money to my previous lawyer to write letters, phone calls to find out problems about my case. But seems like nothing works out. After all, in November 2016 I found Mr. Adam Solow based on reviews on Avvo. In January of 2017, he and Ms. Nancy started working on my case and helped me re-filed every forms what I needed. Two months later, in March 2017, I received my ten years Green Card. What an amazing job! He worked hard on my case and very understood how hard it was. About Adam, he is very intelligent, thoughtful and helpful. He answeres your questions, phone calls, emails whenever you need him. To immigrants, talk to him and he will find out the best way to help you. Don't go to anyone else. He is the best attorney. Thank you so much Mr. Adam! God Bless You and Your Group.

The best lawyer on earth!!!

My case had a lot issues and was very complicated. Before meeting Adam and his team, I went to many other lawyers to seek help. Some refused to take my case because it was too hard and complicated. Some even told me that there would be no way I could renew my green card. One agreed to help with one c...ondition that I would have to go through a very risky process, and it would cost a lot of money. I went home buried myself in tears and disappointment every time. I thought this would be the end of it, no more chance for me. Fortunately, after years of waiting and searching, I found Adam on Avvo. After reading all the positive reviews that his former clients left for him, I decided to reach out to him for help. I was happly surprised that he confidently took my case and gave me a super affordable quote after I explained how complicated it was. It was a very pleasant experience working with Adam and his team. Adam never let me wait too long to wait for his response when I contacted him. And his staff, Nancy, is a very nice and understanding person. I could easily talked to her about anything that she needs for my case. So, if you are someone like me, who’s really in need of legal help, please don’t hesitate to contact Adam! He will never let you down. And I am 100 % sure you will be glad that it's your best decision you ever make in your life. Adam fixed my immigration status, he can fix yours too!!

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.
