Best immigration attorney!!!

David Stoller and Mrs Claudia are absolutely the best immigration attorney!!! I had at least 3 attorneys before and the first one was definitely a rip off, the second one was just not knowledgeable enough to handle my case, the third one is actually pretty ok but all she wanted to do was waiting. I ...waited and waited, my case was sitting there for over 3 years. I knew David stoller's law firm before but got nervous about change attorney again. My husband and i went to consulted twice, and finally we made up our mind and that decision was one of the best decision I have ever made. Mr Stoller and Mrs Claudia and the whole team used not even 1 year, my case was resolved in front of immigration judge and I was granted for permanent residence. They know the law and the regulations, and they are smart attorneys!!! If any of my friends or family member ever need immigration service, I will definitely recommend Mr Stoller and his team!!!! My family and I can't thank enough!!! Highly recommended if u need immigration attorney!!!!!!! Best of the best!!!

Ruined my life

Attorney staller, i wouldn't even call him an attorney because he didn't act like one. all he did is file my papers and forgot about it. I never seen him in person and he never talked to me. he has what she calls her self "supervisory paralegal" which she honestly does nothing related to law field. ...Pleas before you hire such a lawyer just sit and talk to her, you won't be able to continue the conversation. She is the attorney of the world. She knows every little piece in this planet. She's an immigration officer, a judge, psychologist. She's everything except an attorney. She's god on earth She basically shows you that she knows everything. She has no respect whatsoever to her clients. I think the way she treats people tells how unprofessional she is. Please don't ruin your life by dealing with this woman.

Replied last June 09, 2015

While I generally do not comment on something like this, take a look at the other client reviews before making your decision. Truth is that not all clients are a match for any particular attorney and some clients are unable to accept that their case did not work out in the end. I do not know who this person is and I do not know what I did for this client. What I will say is that if this client has a particular issue with anything I did or anything anyone in my office did, call my phone number and talk to me. Airing reflections on my office's services in such a way is not the purpose of this forum. Make an effort to deal with it by calling my office and having a personal conversation and discussing things like reasonable adults. We are here to help and the truth is that we do not always succeed. But success is not the measure of an attorney's ability. What is more important is ensuring that a client is aware of what is going on with their case and our efforts to resolve problems. I make myself available to any client to discuss any issue of any concern regarding their case.

"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."
