This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Such an honor to work together and experience his knowledge and drive for his work

David is an amazing lawyer to work with; he is so knowledgeable on what's going on and updates on USCIS laws. His drive and passion show it's not just another day in the office but that he is here to help those who come into his office. Highly recommend him above many.

Difficult case approved, great attorneys.

I remember back in 2015 walking in Claudia’s office after 2 failed attempts with UCIS. Claudia took her time and we talked about my case for about 35 minutes. Very nice and professional, although she was very strait forward when she told me that I only had one option with the type of case we were wo...rking with as there was no waiver for this situation, but with this option there was a 50/50 risk. I didn’t want to take the risk at that time. With that in mind I decided to give up or go somewhere else. She did warn me though that I would just throw my money away if I filed a different way. To make the story short, 4 attempts in total since 2012 I came back to her and Mr Stoller in 2024. She calmly explained to me again and again and said “you know what we have to do”. Something about her that made me feel like she was so honest and didn’t just want my money but in the contrary she wanted to help me. Her words “the law is the law “ made me feel optimistic. So I decided to hire her. 4 months later!! the moment my wife and I saw the approved Email, was the happiest day in our lives. Thank you Mrs Claudia and Mr Stoller for not giving up on me and for taking the time to explain the situation in both English and Spanish to better understand it. The law is the law and I can honestly say that you both have studied it and know it very well. Gracias por su ayuda, Por siempre agradecido. Highly recommend Y Gracias a Dios igual. Pablo

The best immigration attorney

David Stoller is such a unique attorney. He is so smart, honest and knowlegeable. I had a very complicated case which nobody could figure out what to do. I called the USCIS customer service almost every week, but the only thing I get is frustration and confusion. David gave me the advice in 10 minut...es after he reviewed my paper. He knows exactly what I need to do. I hesitated if I should hire him at the beginning because I had such bad experience with attorney before, but I decided to give him a try. I am so happy I made the right decision . Now having my green card in my hands, I really appreciate David's help. I only have one regret. I should have hired David Stoller earlier.

Thank you

Good morning Claudia, I just wanted to say Thank you for not giving up on me. It means everything to me and my children. They are over the top happy that I can stay here, in this country that is their home and now, also my permanent home. I know in times it was frustrating and exhausting but you didn...’t let go of us. I will forever more be grateful to you, David and your team. Sincerely, Noraida. The newest USA permanent Resident. Thanks Claudia

"I knew David Stoller as a government attorney in Immigration Court and I have known him also as a attorney representing aliens before the Immigration Court. David Stoller is one of the best immigration litigators in Florida. He is always prepared, and he is such a stickler for details that he handles many of the aspects of his cases that other attorneys leave to legal assistants. David has an encyclopedic knowledge of the law and precedent involved in immigration court proceedings, and is frequently called by other lawyers seeking help with their cases."
