Thank you!

My husband and I used Evan's services to submit my application for permanent residency. He was helpful, professional, and prompt. The entire process went smoothly and we will continue to use his services.

Mr. George is the best!! Phenomenal, Professional, knowledgeable and Compassionate!

Mr. George is the best immigration lawyer ever! He took my case even though my home country is one of the most difficult countries to deal with in immigration law especially in nowadays political climate. He treated me like a family member, prepared me very well for the immigration interview and did ...a simulation like he is the officer asking me questions (it really helped me to boost my confidence). My case was not an easy one, even though it took so long to win the case (4 years and 3 months), he kept responding to my emails and kept helping me with forms and legal papers. He was always there for me in every step reassuring me that we are going to win the case because we deserve it. His knowledge, experience, work ethics and compassion are phenomenal. I highly recommend Mr. Evan George for any immigration case!

Patient, professional, and well worth his fee

I came to Evan George after having been denied citizenship on my first attempt. Of all the attorneys I interviewed, he immediately put me at ease and quickly convinced me that he would work efficiently and effectively on my behalf. Throughout the process, he offered steady, professional assistance ...as well as encouragement. I only wish I had hired him the first time I applied because I think his counsel would have made the difference and would have saved me a lot of anxiety and money. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing problems with their immigration case.

Great service!

I don’t know what my husband and I would have done without the help & guidance we received from everyone at Evan’s office The immigration process is daunting & overwhelming but even more so in the current political climate. (Especially for Muslims from a Muslim majority country.) It seemed every tim...e we turned around a new piece of paper was being requested, ones that had never been requested before, or ones not on the documents needed list. Evan & his staff made our immigration process as smooth & stress free as possible. Of course it took time (more time than I’d hoped), but I have no doubt our process was faster because we used an experienced law firm. .

Excellent and professional service!!!

My wife have just got our green card approved!! Needless to say how important this process was for our future. We owe a great deal of gratitude to Evan George. We enjoyed a very professional and high quality service all along the way. Evan and his staff treat you like family and go the extra mile to ...make sure you get a positive outcome. If you have immigration problems, you got to call Evan.
