Serves His Clients to the Max

Ardian has advised / represented my husband and me for over 18 months for an immigration matter --- my fiancée (now husband) overstayed his tourist visa and I petitioned for him to become a lawful permanent resident. Prior to meeting with Ardian, I filled out the forms by myself but I did not sub...mit the forms to the government. I researched and met with several immigration attorneys in the state of Florida. Out of the three attorneys I met with, I felt most comfortable with Ardian because of his willingness to listen and thoroughness when providing advice. When I initiated the first in-person meeting with Ardian, I wanted to use him as a second level reviewer to the forms that I completed on my own. I quickly realized the value of getting him as our attorney because he identified mistakes that I made on the forms, which could have either delayed the process or rejected our application. He also identified two forms that I did not know I needed to fill out --- to get my husband's work authorization and to get my husband a social security number, which again highlights the importance of getting a creditable, experienced attorney like Ardian. After Ardian filed the necessary forms (August 2019) to petition the status change, my husband and I relocated from the state of Florida to another state. During our transition, Ardian handled the administrative process of updating our address and answering our questions about our new state's Department of Motor Vehicles and traveling by airplane. My husband still received his work authorization and social security card (November 2019) in a timely manner too even after moving. Due to the international pandemic of COVID-19, our state's immigration offices closed from March 2020 to June 2020. In August 2020, we were given notice for our in-person interview with immigration. We interviewed on September 9, 2020 and my husband was approved the next business day to become a permanent resident. All in all, I am happy with our service --- Ardian guided us to ensure our forms were processed without errors and advised us on lawful activities. My advice to anyone who needs to go through the immigration process --- 1. Find an attorney that you feel comfortable having a relationship with over multiple years 2. Find an attorney that is a good listener who gives advice for your specific situation 3. Find an attorney who has multiple years of experience filing these forms for various different immigration matters 4. Find an attorney that is responsive 5. Find an attorney that has the ability to work with you regardless of where you live at in the U.S. 6. Find an attorney that has the technology to ensure that your paperwork, forms, and supporting documentation are secure and can be handled safely over the internet That attorney was Ardian for my family --- he provided all six of the attributes that I listed above. Highly recommended and for the fee that you will pay, it is worth it over the course of multiple years. The immigration process is an investment and requires legal expertise to avoid mistakes. My prayers to any family who is going through the immigration process --- Ardian supported our family's process professionally and I am thankful.

Amazing Lawyer

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 th...roughout 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.

Highly recommended

From the first consultation until our approval Mr. Gjoka has more than exceeded our expectations. While neither me nor my husband had ever had any experience with immigration law or attorneys before, we can both agree that we could not have chosen anyone better to help with our case. Every appointmen...t and phone call was helpful, informative and very pleasant. Mr. Gjoka gives you confidence in your case even when you’re feeling nervous about it. He will clarify any question and uncertainties you may have and will go out of his way to make sure everything is done right. He was always reliable and flexible with his schedule to accommodate mine and my husband schedules and needs. If you are looking for an excellent attorney who genuinely cares about you, your case and your situation Ardian Gjoka is the right attorney for you. It has been such a pleasure and privilege knowing and working with him.

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."
