Best Immigration Lawyer

Brian Getson is the most experienced, realistic, honest, highly professional, and by far the best immigration lawyer. I would personally recommend Brian Getson to anyone who needs any guidance or help in the immigration process. He handled my H1B, H4, and NIW (EB2). He was always so honest about the... situations and never gave me any false hopes. He always focused on every little detail about my case and worked so hard. Ultimately, he did succeed in getting all my cases approved. He was always so prompt and knowledgeable in answering any questions I ever had. It's a big relief that I found such an amazing expert. I will always be going back to him for all my immigration work in the future.

Excellent Attorney and the Staff

I want to first thank Attorney Mr. Brian Getson and the staff for their assistance with my immigration process. My husband and I were so glad and happy that we choose to go with Getson and Schatz, Mr. Brian who represented my immigration process. He is a fantastic lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeabl...e, reliable, honest and professional. The communication throughout the process was excellent. No matter which day or time it was (Weekend or weekdays), he responded our emails/messages right-away. We felt very comfortable because we could rely on him throughout the whole process . We could not have asked for better services. From the moment we first went to their office in Philadelphia, met Mr. Brian and until I got my permanent residency card , we were at ease that we made the best choice for a lawyer. I highly recommend him and Getson and Schatz to everyone.

Excellent immigration lawyer

Brian Getson is a great professional immigration attorney. I worked with Brian for my green card application, which was recently approved. Brian was very thorough, reliable, and worked with me in a timely and transparent fashion. He was available to meet initially to discuss my case, and he was alway...s reachable via email and phone regarding any questions I may have had. His advice and information was always reliable and correct. I highly recommend Brian Getson as your immigration attorney.

Successful NIW Petition and Hassle Free Naturalization

Brian is a professional, knowledgeable, and thorough immigration attorney who pays particular attention to the details. I retained Brian for both my N1W petition (green card application) and citizenship applications. Given the complex subject of my academic research, Brian was essential in drafting... the letters of recommendations for my petition. Brian was prompt, responsive, and willing to take time to walk me through the process. His response time to the emails is exceptionally fast. His staff are very polite and professional as well. Given the terrific experiences I had, I highly recommend Brian to anyone who seeks an immigration attorney with broad knowledge and experience in the field.

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.
