Immigration Case

Evan is an amazing attorney. He helped my husband (from Mexico) and I with a visa petition with an inadmissibility waiver that was approved. We started the process in November 2014 and his Permanent Resident Card was granted in May 2016. Evan gave accurate explanations of every step and met with u...s throughout the process. He is very quick to respond to questions and concerns. His staff is amazing as well. They are very attentive and always return phone calls. We met with many different attorneys before choosing Evan. He stood out because he was sincere and very straight forward. He is knowledgeable about the process and is available whenever you need him. When going to his office, we always felt welcomed and important. We were more than just another case. Evan George is an amazing attorney who I recommend to everyone I know that needs help with their immigration cases. We honestly could not have done it without him.

Very grateful

I am a US Veteran who really needed help getting my family to the USA from the Philippines. I am a man with a very short temper and difficulty dealing with frustrating situations like the US Immigration system. Had it not been for Mr. George, I would have never been able to get my wife and three c...hildren to the USA from the Philippines. I truly believe that. With his steady hand and professionalism, Mr. George took the meanness out of my temperament and directed me with the right tone to accomplish our goal. After I got my family here, he has continued to be helpful and available to our needs. He has real skills in navigating the US Immigration system, and he had true people skills that helped me when I had hit a roadblock.

First class Attorney and human being.

Mr. George gave me good clear and accurate help in my citizenship application. The guidance he gave me during the process was simple, methodical and invaluable. He understands the Immigration system extremely well and conveys it with ease and confidence. He is completely trustworthy, listen to and do... what he says, be open, be honest and you will get the best help there is. Mr. George and his staff exude a level of humanity you rarely find these days especially in an attorneys office.

I don’t have enough words to describe my amazing experience as a client of Mr. George. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that the lawyer I hired to complete my immigration process gets very involved with what he does and takes pride on every case he manages. Mr. George is not only a pleasure to ...work with but also someone you can trust to get things done and to be fully committed to your case. His staff is also very friendly, helpful and a delight to work with. I completely recommend this firm and its services to anyone who, like myself, loves this country and wish to make it a forever home.

All I can say is WOW!!! Mr George Evan does not only do his job well but also take pride in it! First he is very fair on prices, then he answers to questions on a timely manner, take initiatives in writing laters on your behalf to who @ever it needs to go to and finally, celebrates with you when the... good news comes in :). I have not stop referring his services to friends all over the United States. I will hire him again and again!!!
