Immigration Law consultation

Daniel is great! He answered all of our questions in great detail and sent us a long email right after our talk further explaining topics we had talked about. Finding competent affordable lawyers like him is quite difficult and I will definitely be reaching out to him in the future for other inquirie...s. He even stayed an extra 15 min at the end off the session that he didn't want to charge us for!

100% recommend Daniel!

Daniel has been a huge help with my AOS and applying for a marriage green card. He has made the process as stress free as possible. He is extremely communicative, always available to answer questions, very knowledgeable, efficient and professional. He made us feel like we were his only clients, which... I’m sure is not the case. His dedication and investment to our case was amazing from start to finish and he was always able met our deadlines. His use of text, calls, emails, and google documents makes working with him very pleasant. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Besides all this, he has always been friendly and above all great at managing our frustration and ignorance with all this bureaucracy. We highly recommend Daniel for any immigration needs and will definitely use Daniel’s services on any future green card filings as well!

B2 extension

The nicest, most caring attorney that work for me. He is hard working, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. I would strongly recommend Daniel to anyone. He was able to get my b2 visa extension problem fixed. Daniel gave me great advice at each step of the way, and that really helped. ... I cannot say enough good things about Daniel and I appreciate everything he did for me.
