Excellent outcome

I was impressed with how Tom handled my case. I had been to several attorneys before him, and everyone gave no hope for a successful outcome. Tom gave me hope. He was completely honest and guided me through each step. I am so happy to have found him. The case was not simple but he came up with a wel...l executed plan. I recommend anyone to try Tom. I am sure you will be as happy as I am.

I would not go to anyone esle ! Amazing service and results !!

Thomas Fulghum has been the most reliable and trustworthy when I was going trough a very long, hard and emotional process of getting a green card while a was already in removal process. He came up with plan that we followed step by step and just did an amazing job. He got me out of a big m...ess, winning our case in front of an immigration court and getting a green card. I have work with him for close to 4 years and I would not go to anyone else. His rates are extremely reasonable and I really felt him and his staff were only a phone call or email away if I had any questions. I would hear back from him by phone or email within few minutes every time !! I am so grateful for all his hard work and help and would not recommend anyone else.

Excellent service and results

My husband, then boyfriend, came to the U.S. from New Zealand via Iraq where we met. We did not know how long he would stay when he arrived-- and not too long thereafter, we decided to get married. Tom took terrific care of us, guiding us through the process with professionalism and a welcome bit of ...humor. Our case was a bit unique, as my boyfriend was also my bodyguard while I was working in Iraq. He had also overstayed his visa, so we were in a bit of hot water. Mr. Fulghum was not phased and saw us through the entire process. My husband became a US citizen in 2013. Very happy ending!
