Review Ardian Gjoka

Never stops working

Posted by

Ardian is the best immigration lawyer in town. He worked nonstop on our case the last 5 years and was always there whenever we had a question. He worked nonstop because our case was filled with obstacles and we needed a lawyer who could over come them and did he deliver. After 16 years of legal battles of trying to come to the United States, Ardian made it happen. He is always helpful and always communicates updates on case. We cannot thank him enough. Highly recommend to everyone from Europe to friends and family in Canada and the US.

This being my first foray into the immigration system, I cannot speak to how an immigration attorney should conduct his business. I can however, share with you our experience with Mr. Gjoka as our legal counsel. From day one Ardian made us feel at ease by calmly explaining what we could expect, laying out the process, answering our myriad of questions and allaying our fears and concerns. As in any endeavor, there are always going to be twists and turns which need to be maneuvered through and it was in these times that Mr. Gjoka's experience and capability shone through! Not only did he handle everything necessary on the legal side, he was also always just a phone call away to answer our questions and put our minds at ease. My wife and I were impressed with the relationships he had built within the immigration services hierarchy as it was evident in the respect they all seemed to have for him. My wife and I are, and will always be, eternally grateful for what Mr Gjoka has helped us achieve...Our American Dream! Now a reality! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Ardian!

He did not ask for money, he wanted to know if he was going to be defending the Thuth. And I really liked that. He represented us very well. We are very grateful to God that He, God, plase Ardian in our way, now he, is in our life also

A great and results oriented immigration lawyer

Posted by

The Gjoka's Law office is one law firm that cares more about finding a solution to your immigration case rather than the cost. Ardian Gjoka is honest, dedicated, professional but kind of personal, hardworking, well organized, kind hearted and thorough. He is my first immigration lawyer and he has been very helpful with excellent results. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer.

Amazing Lawyer

Posted by

Ardian represented us in an immigration matter. He is very knowledgeable about immigration law, thorough, works hard, and truly represents best interests of his clients. Besides being an outstanding professional, he's very dedicated and it’s simply a pleasure to work with him. He communicated well throughout the entire process. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He helped me and my wife in every step of our case. He was always available via email or phone, answered all the questions in details, and during meetings he was always prepared and spent extra time. He returns calls and replies to e-mails in a quick manner. His fees was reasonable and his scheduling adaptive to our needs. He was even present during our green card interview which was scheduled at 7:30 am. We highly recommend him to all people.

Scott Fortune, Employment and labor Attorney on Aug 27, 2012
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

Ardian Gjoka is one of the best attorneys I have had the privilege of working with since I became a lawyer in 1981. He is brilliant and creative and he is the most hard-working attorney I have EVER met. He will literally work 18 hours a day to get the answer to whatever issue he is dealing with. He is not concerned about how much time a project takes; he is focused like a laser on getting the job done, and getting it done correctly. Ardian is loyal, dependable, honest, and a good person to have on your team. You do NOT want him to be on the OTHER team! Ardian is now working in Immigration Law. I know that he is very well versed in that area of the law and that he has had a great deal of experience assisting foreign nationals who wish to become U.S. citizens. I strongly endorse Ardian. He is an example of what all attorneys should try to be like.
