Great Lawyer, fantastic service!

My wife and I hired the Cauley Law Firm back in 2012 for our immigration process after speaking with several other lawyers in Charlotte. Mercer was the only one that assured us that everything would be ok, and that in over 15 years he had never lost a case. We have now completed the naturalizatio...n process and everything went so smoothly that the only word I could use to describe the Cauley Law Firm is AMAZING! Highly recommend Cauley Law Firm for anyone that is looking for an immigration attorney that understands the ins and outs of the whole process, is dilligent to keep everything on track, and provides all the attention you need in order to complete the whole process end-to-end. Thank you so much for everything you did for us, Mercer!

Green Card Restored.

What a great Lawyer Cauley is.I thought i had a hopless case for 7 years, i was out of status, my Lawyers in New York and New Jersey could not fight and win my case for me but my hope was restored when i relocated to Durham and consulted with Mr Cauley, after i sat with him and he assured me he win... my case.My Green Card was Recinded and i was placed on Deportation. The Cauley firm started work on my case.They used all the immigration law to fight my case.I was always in court to witness how vast and knowledgeable Mr Cauley was when he stood before the judge fighting my case .I had lost my case in the lower court, i thought it was over but he promised to win it in the Immigration Borad of Appeal.He quickly prepared all documents for my appeal together and forwarded it to IBA. The IBA agreed with Mr Cauley and my Green Card was restored to me and i am on my way to become a citizen of this great country. I can now happily live my American dream with my family, no more deportation. I will greatly recommend anyone with immigration issues no matter how complex it is to the Cauley Law Firm.I am a testimony,i have used Lawyers who could not win it for me.If you want you case resolved i plead with you to go to The Cauley Law Firm.

The best immigration lawyer in NC

If your are looking for a serious and competent immigration lawyer, then Cauley Law Office is the perfect place for you. My story is quite long but i will keep it brief. I had a complex case with the immigration in the past. Married with 3 children, i was almost got deported. I am was put in remova...l and while i was in detention, my family hired Mr Cauley as my attorney. He was very sincere and supportive. He reassured me that he will do his very best. After filling for a petition (asking the jugde to reopen my case), he fought to get me out of the immigration detention. Few months later the jugde granted my petition and i had been released. Mr Cauley and his team has helped me get my green card and even my citizenship. Today, i am a free and proud U.S citizen. I will recommend his office without hesitation to anyone who needs help with any kind of immigration issues. The staff and of course Mr Cauley's dog are very professional and nice. Thanks again for all you have done to keep our family together.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
