Awesome Lawyer

We hired Mr.Evan George for my sisters Asylum case. He was an amazing lawyer to work with. He has an excellent ability to work on a case. He was very focused, professional, formal,polite,well managed, and very friendly lawyer I've ever met. I highly recommend him to any one.

Key credentials & expertise for positive immigration results

My Kenyan husband and I followed the tedious, time-consuming immigration process step-by-step for one year. Once we he had his interview with the consulate offices at the embassy in Nairobi, Kenya the issuance of his visa was further delayed by a request of “more” documentation to substantiate a bona...-fide marriage due to our age difference. At this time, we employed Evan George as our attorney and within one month my husband was in the USA. Evan’s credentials and expertise were “key” to our immigration case resulting in a positive outcome.

Excellent immigration lawyer

A colleague recommended Evan and I talked to him and another lawyer in the area before I finally decided to work with him. Evan caused a great first impression on me because he was very helpful and patient in his explanations during our first meeting. He patiently explained what I needed to bring, ...and what to expect in every step of my green card application process. I continued working with him for other processes as well as for my citizenship application. He was always punctual and responsive even when I moved out and we worked on my case long distance. We communicated by email effectively and my case was dealt with professionally. In two occasions, the immigration officers that interviewed me praised the work on my lawyer. I am very thankful to Evan and recommend him with no hesitation to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

In 2012, I was looking for a lawyer to assist with an adjustment of status case. I called another attorney in Gainesville. The receptionist took my information over the phone and set up an appointment. An hour before I was supposed to meet with them, they canceled without an explanation. After so...me more research, I found Evan George’s office. I called and he personally answered the phone. We spent some time discussing the case. I did not feel rushed or get the feeling that he was trying to get me off the line quickly. He took his time trying to understand the case and we set up a meeting in which, he explained the entire process, what to expect, and which forms would need to be filed. I called him before the interview and he took the time to walk me through questions that I would mostly likely be asked. Evan is well-versed in all types of immigration cases. He has helped me with several other filings, including removal of conditions, citizenship, and filing a DACA case for a family member. He takes his time to research and fully understand each unique case before presenting possible solutions. He does not try to persuade you to make a spur of the moment decisions. Evan and his staff are professional, welcoming, and courteous. They can always be reached by phone or email. Most of my correspondence with them occurred through email. I never had to wait more than a day for a response; most of the time, I received a response within an hour. Evan George is a very knowledgeable, professional, and considerate lawyer. I have enjoyed working with him through all my filings. I would recommend him to anyone in need of immigration assistance.

Excellent work

Mr. George helped me with my Immigration/Asylum case by helping me getting solid information to write my story. He assisted me during the interview. The meetings were very instructive and he was supportive as well as truthful to me. I had homework for most of the meetings in order to stay on task an...d ready before I got called by the USCIS. The process was fairly quick. I do recommend him. He is a smart, hardworking, truthful, discipline lawyer. He is excellent in what he does.
