Great immigration attorney

Morris Deutsch provided outstanding service and counsel in helping to secure my wife Yolande's green card. He walked us through every step of the process and made it all very smooth. Mr. Deutsch is a consummate professional and we recommend him very highly

One of the best and most competent immigration law firms around

I had a very technically difficult immigration case, which most other law firms would not even bother to take up as they said that my chances of success are near zero. Not only did Morris and Carolyn take up my case, they also successfully managed to conclude my 'impossible' case as I am now a perma...nent resident. The team is highly professional and are proficient experts in immigration law. One of the best things about the team is that they work very hard and efficiently, hence as a client I rarely had to run after them as they were on top of all issues and very proactive.

I worked with Mr. Deutsch regarding my O1-visa and following Green card applications. Mr. Deutsch and his team did an excellent job preparing and handling my visa and green card application packages. I live in Louisiana, so we worked all the time through emails and occasional phone calls. They worked... fast and always responded to my emails the same day. The team is very reliable and incredibly professional. I was very pleased that I got my O1-visa approval within 1 week and later my Green card within 1 year since filing the application. I would highly recommend this immigration law firm and I can assure you that you will be satisfied with successful and high quality work of this firm on your application/filing.

Great service, and team

My case was (or should have been) a straightforward one, but changes in the immigration rules and policies in the last year made it tricky in the final stages. Morris and his team were supportive all the way through the process of getting my Green Card, but particularly at the end, when it was all r...ather stressful and time-pressured. Special mention for Carolyn Killea, who also worked on my case - and was just fantastic.

Mr. Deutsch and Ms. Killea helped me to file I-751 waiver application and answered every question patiently and always available via email. Even help...ed to prep for my interview and the timeline he gave me was good for biometrics interview timeline and for the result. I got my I-751 waiver approved. I would definitely recommend this lawyer
