Waiver approved!

Retaining Potra Law Firm to represent me in my immigration matters has been one of the best choices i've made. My waiver was approved and I honestly could not be anymore thankful with this result. Potra Law Firm's staff always informed me of every of every detail concerning my case and any type of ne...ws they had. I want to thank Attorney Potra for always being honest with me and for helping me keep a positive mindset through the process. I am really thankful with God for putting Potra Law Firm in my path and for blessing me with getting my waiver approved. I recommend Potra Law Firm to anyone that needs assistance with a waiver as they are a firm in whom you can trust.

Honest and Trustworthy Law Firm!

I would like to take this time to recommend Attorney Potra to anyone that needs legal representation. Attorney Potra has helped me obtained a work permit after lots of Attorneys told me they could not do anything for me. Potra Law Firm and staff have honestly handled my whole case very professionally... and have always been very honest with me. Thank you Potra Law Firm for everything you have done for me and for helping me obtain a work permit!

Obtained a work permit!

My wife and I are very thankful with Attorney Potra and all his staff for all the hard work that was done in our case. I honestly could not have found a better Firm to represent my wife and I as Potra Law Firm is a very professional and honest Firm. Since the first time we spoke with Attorney Potra, ...we felt very secure about the legal services he had to offer us. Everyone at Potra Law Firm always spoke to us with honesty and always put everything in God's hands. I also want to thank God for blessing us with the work permit my wife and I have received thanks to Potra Law Firm and his staff. I want to take this time and recommend Potra Law Firm to anyone that needs legal immigration representation as you will be in good hands.

Attorney Potra can help!

I am really happy with the fact that God has gave me a second chance to be in this country. I was detained by ICE for several weeks without any type of hope of being able to be free in this country. My husband spoke with various Attorneys in which all told him they could not do anything for me. I am ...a North Carolina resident and I just want to thank God for allowing Attorney Potra to be able to get me out of the detention center. I want to take this time to invite anyone with immigration needs to go to Potra Law Firm as they are a trustworthy, honest, and hardworking Firm. I am sure Attorney Potra will give you the best honest advice any Attorney can give you. Once again, thank you Potra Law Firm and staff for everything you have done for my family and I.

Blessed!

I want to thank God and Potra Law Firm for all the hard work that has been done in my case. Attorney Johnson helped me get through my divorce case and did a really amazing job. Throughout my divorce case, my wife kept trying to do everything she could to tear me apart. I had a domestic violence charg...e against me and Attorney Johnson was able to successfully drop the charge. Overall, I could not be any more happy with the outcome of this long process! I want to recommend Potra Law Firm to anyone that needs legal representation as they are a firm in whom you can trust! Thank you Potra Law Firm and staff for a great experience and for always being honest.

"It has been my privilege to assist Attorney Potra with the criminal defense side of his practice over the past year. Attorney Potra is an establishment in the Georgia immigration lawyer community, and his unimpeachable honesty is highly respected by immigration judges, government officials, and fellow lawyers. After immigrating to the United States from communist Romania, Attorney Potra constructed a highly successful law practice dedicated to helping give other new immigrants the opportunity to build their own American dream. Attorney Potra honestly and pragmatically dispenses legal advice to each potential client that enters his office, never exaggerating or making unrealistic promises. Even so, Attorney Potra is willing and able to litigate many difficult, long-shot cases, and his firm often achieves results that greatly exceed the client's initial expectations. Attorney Potra is a hard-working, dedicated advocate for the immigrant community, and I endorse him without reservation."

"During the two years that I have worked with Attorney Potra, he has taught me so much, both about the practice of law and about immigration law in particular. Attorney Potra’s honesty, character, and compassion shine through in his interactions with clients, employees, and peers. He sets an excellent example for each of us at Potra Law Firm, and his attitude of passionate advocacy encourages and stretches us to be the best that we can be for our clients. Attorney Potra deeply cares about every person who walks into our office, whether that person comes in for a one time consultation or retains us to represent him through a longer process. He understands the hard situations that each client is going through, and he takes extra time to answer a client’s questions, analyze his case, and explain the legal process even in the case of clients for whom no relief is yet available. I have the deepest respect for Attorney Potra, and I could not ask for a better place to work than Potra Law Firm."

"I am one of the immigration attorneys at this firm. I have been working here since August 2012, and I love it. Attorney Potra truly cares about his clients, and it shows. In this office, we understand that most of our clients are going through some of the worst and scariest periods of their lives, and we do our best to communicate with them with understanding and compassion. We are not perfect, but we do our best. I am honored to work for someone who I respect and who I know cares about the outcomes of his cases. Immigration law is a difficult area of law, and there is not always relief available for those without status in the United States. Here, we care about being honest with those in our office. If we cannot do something to help in a case, we will not take any money from that person. I believe in Attorney Potra as an attorney and also as a person. He really does care about every person that walks through our doors."
