great friendly lawyer

I had very few expectations from my case first because my ignorance in this particular law, my son got assaulted and we reported it to the police, they caught these people and we went to court to seek justice, they got a conviction and it's then that I learned that not only my son but my wife and mys...elf could get a visa and in time permanent residency, we all didn't have legal status here. My sister knew Mr. Racine because he's had handled a case for her and told me that I had to take my case to him, which I did, he was very friendly since the time we all met and told us there were good chances to get the U-visa. Now, we are all in deferred action for the U visa waiting for our work permit and on our way to achieve our goals in this country. I definitely recommend Xavier Racine to all who are dealing with their immigration status.

Excellent!

At this point, I have been working with Xavier and his team for several years. They took care of my H1-B application as well as my Immigration/Green Card application after I got married. Xavier is simply a great lawyer to work with!

Xavier Racine-The very BEST Immigration Attorney!!

Xavier is clearly the BEST immigration attorney I have ever worked with. For the past 30 years, our company has worked with several immigration attorneys in an effort to help our immigrant work force. We have accomplished many successes throughout the years with many of these attorneys, but it was ...not until I began working with Xavier that I realized we did NOT have the best of the best until we teamed up with Xavier. In the past couple of years, we have had some complicated cases that I believed would turn out badly, but Xavier (with his great knowledge and expertise) was able to take a bleak case and turn it around into a total success. Every complicated case I have presented to him has turned out with positive results. I just cannot say enough great things about him and I also appreciate all the many things he has taught me about our complicated immigration laws. There is so much to know and in my opinion he knows it all and he knows how to find the answers and get the best possible results. He is our number 1 guy to go to where immigration is concerned and best of all he is 100% honest and reasonable. He is a great human being. I am so happy our company has come to know him and work with him.
