Amazing service!

My experience with SilzerLaw Chartered has spanned over 25 years. It began when I was a student at the University of Central Florida, and when I graduated they handled and secured my OPT Visa and then my H1-B Visa when I got a job. I received a job promotion and my husband and I moved away from Winte...r Park, and went in another direction. We could never get our immigration status resolved, and it became very complicated for many years. When my husband passed away 10 years ago, I came back to Silzer Law, in hopes of going through the process of becoming a permanent resident. I was living in Missouri, and even with the distance, I felt that they were the only firm that could make my dream become reality. They first helped me secure a TN, and then began down the path of permanent residency. I’ve dealt with other law firms in my life, and my husband had a legal background, so we both knew that there was something different about this law firm. This office was superior by far and stood out for so many reasons. They are honest, trustworthy and extremely good at what they do. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and I can't say enough good things about this team. Above all, they truly care…and gave me hope! They have a passion to help you, and go the extra mile. I cannot thank Scot Silzer and his firm enough for everything they’ve done for me over the years…it’s been a long journey. I recently became a permanent resident of the United States, and I must say they made the process of getting here a pleasant one. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for any legal help with immigration matters, they are miracle workers!

Great immigration lawyer firm

My wife and I, we are clients of Silzerlaw in Orlando, FL, since 2008. Scot Silzer and his professional team of immigration lawyers helped me in outstanding ways over the last 10 years to achieve one US business visa and work visa for me, inclusive dependant visa for my wife and my daughter. He alway...s analyzed our situation sharply, evaluated pitfalls and potential rejection risk, and recommended the best path forward for me and my family members, with the most chance of getting accepted by US authorities to achieve lawful resident status in the U.S. They always helped also when we had emergency questions super. They do exceptional service, highly recommended, also with moderate fees. we have 100% trust in his service. Glad to know this lawyer firm.
