Great Guy!

Kris was great. We had him represent us when we were applying for my wife's green card. He helped us through the interview process and met with us a few days before the actual interview. It definitely helped my wife because her English isn't the best but at the same time it helped calm us down. I wou...ld definitely recommend him to anyone! Thanks Kris!

Immigration Case

One of the most frustrating parts of immigration is CIS’s interpretation of who is eligible for adjustment of status based on the type of visa they entered with even if married to a US citizen because not all district offices see it the same way. I have been wondering in the east coast from one court... to another and been told repeatedly by multiple attorneys that l have to return to my country and was not eligible for adjustment of status (the green card process in the US) in addition to two attorney that I retained who failed to solve my immigration status. I also have been told that I would have to consular process and apply for the ten year bar at one of the toughest CIS offices in the world. I end up in a deportation process where I have to attend a CIS office every week to confirm my identity and address, at the same time, they also had to come to my place on a weekly basis to confirm my identity and address. I gave up hopes and decided to go back to my country after 8 years struggle. I decided to go visit my friends in Philadelphia before returning to my country. Then, it happened that l tell my story to someone, that person asked me to visit an attorney and give it a shot. I didn't listen, I was hopeless. Few days later, I decided to go see, Kristofer Charles Kaufmann, an attorney in Center City of Philadelphia. I met him and explained to him my situation, what I went through and how much money I had to spend hopelessly. He told me that my case can be solved and I don't have to leave. First, I didn't take the joke from him, that's how it sounded to me, I thought he was joking about it but he was serious. Anyway, I decided to retain him and his fees were really reasonable. It took him less than a year and one court appearances to get my status fixed and hold my green card in my hands. Later, I statted referring clients for him regardless if it is an immigration case or not and all were happy and completely satisfied about him. It is really hard to find an honest and comitted attorney about his job. I really recommend him if not retain at least a consult and hope he will meet expectations just like what he did to me and other clients. Thank you Kristofer Charles Kaufmann, you are truly the best!!!

My go to Real Estate needs man!

Kris has handled the few evictions I have had over the past decade, and him having a PA Brokers Real Estate License is a great source to have to list a property at a discount, for a seasoned investor/group! He has helped dozens of my clients as well with my mortgage business with old liens.
