I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr Vedder handled my family member's immigration case - to me, what better endorsement is there then that! Mr Vedder has an impressive practice built on a nationally recognized expertise in the field. Mr Vedder limits his practice to immigration and truely has mastered it - there are too many lawyers who dabble in this field - many to their clients detriment. If you need help with a complicated immigration matter or a straightforward visa, call Dave Vedder! Do not put your future in the hands of someone who doesn't do this type of law all day every day!
