Great immigration lawyer

I found John Byrley's information on-line doing a Google search for an immigration lawyer. His firm had a number of great reviews and as it turned out they were very accurate. He helped me in establishing permanent residency for my parents who are Russian citizens. Previously they overstayed their v...isitor's visa and we were worried about issues with immigration so we needed professional help to maximize their chances in obtaining permanent residency. Mr. Byrley has been incredibly knowledgable, professional and responsive from the day one until the very end of the process, which took close to a year. I had a million questions, which he patiently answered in a very timely manner. We had some issues requiring my Mom to leave US before getting her green card after her interview date had already been set. John helped us with that situation as well insuring her safe return and interview attendance at a later date. My Father got his green card in Moscow embassy and that process went flawlessly as well thanks to a very thorough guidance from John. His fees are more than reasonable for the exceptional service you receive. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great immigration lawyer.

Green card for wife and step son

I would like to share my experience with John Byrley about the support he gave me to get my wife a green card and bring my step son to this country . It was about a year ago that I ask him to help me to accomplish above tasks. He lay out a time line and we worked to it and accomplished everything ...as he mentioned at the beginning to me. He was keeping me up to date with all immigration status. He was always accurate on his statement and advise . He was always available when I needed to talk to him. He got the green card for my wife in 5 months and he brought my step son to this country in 11 months. It was an excellent experience, working with him. I recommend him to anyone that needs immigration advise or support. A, Engineering manager

From day one John was very helpful and informative in giving advice. His knowledge and experience made the process so stress free on my wife and me. He always responded to our questions and inquires in 24 hours or less. He guided us through the process and always kept us updated on new development...s. He gave us all the tools we needed to prepare and plan for our interview. He also accompanies you to the interview in case any legal issues arise. His prices are fair with no hidden costs. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer Byrley Law is the only way to go.

John is a very capable immigration attorney with deep and up-to-date knowledge in immigration matters. I have worked with John for my H1B visa and Green card related applications for the past 8 years and his service is nothing but exceptional. He is extremely responsive to any questions at any time a...nd is very polite and professional. He worked through my complex case by providing thorough and timely responses to USCIS which resulted in me receiving my green card. I don't think any other attorney could have handled my case as well as he did. Highly recommend John for anyone needing immigration assistance.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
