Review for Adam Frank

I am very satisfied with the service provided by Adam and his team, who helped me obtain a waiver for the 2-year-rule associated with my J1 visa and, ultimately, a green card. Adam has been very responsive throughout the process usually responding the same or the following day when I had questions. M...y wife and I felt well prepared for the interview. Most importantly, through Adam's help I was able to in the US with my family. I recommend Adam and his law firm without hesitation.

The company for which I currently work for hired Adam to respond to a second RFE we received from USCIS for my H1B application. I was working with a different firm before who had no success with my transfer application nor my first RFE. When Adam reviewed my case he knew exactly which approach to tak...e. My RFE was approved and I am now continuing my employment in the US. I would highly recommend Adam at any point of my career.

Professional and highly experienced lawyer!

I am very grateful to Attorney Adam Frank and his team for their great services, and also to my friend who recommended him. Thanks to his professional guidance to me and his team for filing my immigration application, the whole process was quite smooth. As a result, I have got my permanent residency... status exactly on time he estimated initially. It is amazing that he was able to make so accurate estimation based on our first phone conversation, even before I hired him and provided the whole package of documents as a proof. This is professionalism! Attorney Adam Frank is not just highly experienced and knowledgeable lawyer but he is very responsive, intelligent and patient. Every time I wrote him emails with my questions or requests for phone call arrangements, he responded timely and positively. When I expressed my concerns by phone on some specific issues, he explained everything very clearly, realistically and honestly. Moreover, when some of his paralegals made some minor mistakes in filling some forms, he sent his apologies on their behalf. I believe that all of this is convincing enough to recommend him to others, and I am already doing so.

Excellent experience!

Hi, If you are here, you are most likely looking for a good lawyer who will bring you to your destination – your permanent residence status. Several years ago, I was one of you, sitting in front of the computer, spending days and nights looking for answers on an important question: How do I get a gre...en card? Time flies, and this year, I became a U.S. citizen, got my U.S. passport, celebrated this event with my family, and recalled how it was back in 2008. I also sent a Thank You letter to my lawyer, Adam Frank, who did a fantastic job helping me get my green card and finally to become an American. Here is my story. In 2008, I arrived in the United States from one of post-Soviet countries as a postdoc with a J-1 visa. I immediately realized that I couldn’t make big plans for my future in this country with a J-1 visa, so I started looking for a good lawyer. Initially, I was recommended to a paralegal whom I met with, but he really scared me and made me believe that it was almost impossible to get a green card in my case. He also wanted to talk with my employer, which seemed very strange, so I declined further cooperation.... I was not surprised when I discovered that he knew my employer very well, and my employer wanted to keep me on the visa as long as he could. Both of them were playing games with me. I then found a Russian-speaking lawyer who requested... 25 letters of recommendation, including some from Nobel Prize winners or their co-workers! He also requested I pay the entire fee in advance at the time of signing the contract. I wasn’t encouraged to work with this guy either. Finally, one of my friends recommended Adam Frank, a Maryland lawyer who helped her and her friend receive green cards without any problems. She also explained to me that in her case, everything worked out perfectly through the Internet (we lived in the Southwest at that time), and there was no need to meet him in person. I sent him my CV, and he answered with a clear roadmap for what to do next. It was a very professional plan with reasonable financial conditions. Several months later, I sent the documents that he had requested, and we submitted my application. Four weeks after that, I received an approval. It was like magic. After helping me, Adam and his colleagues helped get green cards for several of my friends, including a man whose application was initially declined by USCIS. There are 3 unique things about Adam Frank that I have learned from my experience and from the experiences of my friends and colleagues whom I referred to him: 1. Upon reviewing your CV, he can clearly say if a green card is approvable or not. If he says “yes” then there is a 99% chance you will get approved; or if not, he will tell you what needs to be fixed. This is golden. 2. He can represent your accomplishments in the most efficient way. In my case, he used all my achievements from my home country to get both EB1 and EB2 approved! My friend received a green card having published a few PubMed publications. It is an art! 3. The third is financial immaculacy. AF doesn’t try to scam you out of money – he just does his job, which requires reasonable payment. This is unique for a lawyer. My visa status has changed my life, and my professional career is advancing. I would like to use this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to Adam Frank and his team for the excellent work they did for me. Good luck everyone! I hope in 8-10 years, when you receive your blue passport, you will recall this review and send a Thank You letter to Adam Frank.

Great immigration Attorney, professional and effective. Recommend.

I am a researcher at a US university. Attorney Adam Frank represented us to file immigration forms and we now have our green cards in hands, for my familly members and myself. Given the fact that there has been a huge backlog at the goverment immigration offices, Attorney Frank had guided us effectiv...ely through several steps to achieve our goal in a reasonable time. He responded to my emails quickly and provided us information regarding our cases timely. He is a professional, knowledgeable and experienced lawyer.
