The BEST.
My situation was very complicated and went to see many lawyers before I decided to go with Mr. Vandenberg. Other lawyers after explaining my situation were giving me directions that meant clearly that either they didn't listen to half of my story or it was too complicated that no one would be able to...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"FULL DISCLOSURE: I consider John a friend, as well as a colleague. I can endorse this attorney from a different perspective. Many of his endorsers are his contemporaries, or even younger lawyers which in no way diminishes the worth of their praise and esteem. I've known John from his Law School days,while serving as an Officer in the local AILA Chapter. I've seen him develop from a law student with a deep interest in immigration law, though young lawyer working for his clients and actively participating in Bar events through to the Partner in the respected immigration law firm that he is today. He now serves the local Immigration Bar as an Officer in our Immigration lawyers association. John is an intelligent, compassionate and creative attorney and nice guy.. Thus, no surprise for the high regard which he has rightfully earned. I am relatively new to this AVVO, about a month (generational, I guess), or I would have given this high endorsement much sooner than today."
"Probably the best attorney in PA, Andy is quick and gets the job done. He is expert at what he does, and he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Not only is he a amazing profoessional but he is also a good man and he has a great sense of humor. As an attorney he has always won cases! As a person he is always there for you."
"I endorse this lawyer. An outstanding immigration lawyer! I have personally seen John in immigration court and believe that he is a superb advocate for his clients. A truly A+++ immigration attorney with a track record to prove it!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"John is a true professional when it comes to the field of immigration law. He not only knows the law, but understands his clients, which is the best recipe for success!"
"Mr. Vandenberg is one of the most honest and trustworthy attorneys in the immigration field. His knowledge of immigration law and his dedication to his clients is second to none."
"John is a star of the Philadelphia immigration bar. I would recommend him to anybody who is searching for a dedicated, caring, intelligent immigration attorney."
"In my experience having worked with W. John Vandenberg for seven years in a variety of settings, I can say that there are few immigration attorneys working today with his uncommon and sterling blend of intelligence, practicality, compassion, creativity, and absolute integrity."
"Many of my client are immigrants but I practice criminal law and personal injury law not immigration so I frequently seek John's advise on my client's behalf. He is is extremely knowledgable regarding all aspects of immigration law. Moreover, if he does not know the answer he will do the research and get the answer. He is incredibly dedicated and attentive to his clients, some of them referred to him by me. Most importanly, he is a caring and compassionate person which is essential for someone practicing immigration law. If I refer him a client he never asks about their ability to pay. He is interested in the client's immigration problem and not what they can afford to pay. I endorse him without reservation. In my opinion John is one of the best immigration attorneys in the region."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"John Vandenberg is a fabulous lawyer and a great person. Anyone who has him as a lawyer is extremely lucky. I recommend him to anyone needing an immigration lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known John in a professional capacity since 2002. I have opposed him in court and worked together with him in a number of endeavors. He is a consummate professional, very knowledgeable, skilled and a zealous advocate for his clients. Other attorneys often ask for his opinion and guidance."
