Outstanding Service!

I dont have enough words to describe how thankful I am for being able to find Potra Law Firm and his great staff. Since the moment Mr. Potra read my case, he said he could help me and that is exactly what he has done. Attorney Potra has came a long way with my case and was able to help me obtain a wo...rk permit. I now have the privilege to have a drivers license which has opened a lot of doors for my family and I. I want to invite everyone that has Immigration concerns to visit Potra Law Firm as you will not regret it! Thank you Potra Law Firm for being a honest Law Firm and for helping me obtain my work permit!

Excellent Staff!

I am more than satisfied with the services Potra Law Firm offered my wife and I! Our process was very fast and was done very professionally. All the information about my case that was given to me was very clear and understanding. I was really happy when our I-130 was approved due to the fact that it ...was approved months before the expected time. I would also like to thank Karen, who was the legal assistant who worked in our case and kept us informed throughout the whole process. I want to take this time and recommend Potra Law Firm to anyone that needs help with Immigration matters. Thank you Potra Law Firm for this amazing experience and for always being honest.

Extremely Happy!

From the beginning of my case, I have been extremely pleased with the service and staff at Potra Law Firm! From my prior criminal case to my current immigration case, I have nothing but positive things to say about Potra Law Firm. The staff is always very helpful, understanding, honest, and do their ...best to reach our needs. I am extremely happy my I-130 petition has been approved with the help of Potra Law Firm. They guided us through every step of the process and kept us informed of any type of news. Thanks to Attorney Potra and his staff, my husband will have many doors and opportunities opened to him. Thanks for all the support and may God bless you guys!

Potra Law Firm can help!!

I am very blessed to have been able to find Potra Law Firm's legal services. I spent weeks looking for a law firm that could represent me in my immigration matters but the only answer I received was "your case is really complicated". After weeks of looking, I turn on the radio and started listening t...o Attorney Potra's radio show and called to make an appointment. I finally met Attorney Potra and retained him as my attorney and could not be anymore happy with the results I have obtained. Since the moment I found Potra Law Firm, my life has had a complete turn around! I went in the office hoping for a work permit but Potra Law Firm was able to get me my Legal Permanent Residency! Thank you Potra Law Firm and staff for all that you do for the hispanic community!

Everytime they had any type of news they notified me about it that same day. Katrina has worked in my case and she has put all t...ype of effort in this waiver and it got approved. I truly recommend Potra Law Firm to anyone with immigration matters they will not disappoint you! Once again, thank you Potra Law Firm for everything you have done and everything you will continue to do.

"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."
