Charles Raether

I came to Mr. Raether at the recommendation of a colleague after I had received an outright denial for my L-1 petition. Using the same business model but making some important changes to the business plan and making a more convincing case in the petition, he refiled my petition and got an approval fo...r the L-1. I also later successfully filed an H-1B with him, and he's working on my green card now. He is extremely responsive (even quickly answering my emails when I ran into problems while at the airport trying to enter the U.S.), trustworthy, and gets the job done. He speaks Russian very well, which is a big plus, but he's American and knows exactly how things are done here. I've tried other immigration lawyers, but they just don't compare.

Charles Raether has successfully assisted us with our immigration and business issues from my first L-1 petition to my green card approval. Mr. Raether did such an expert job of handling my petitions, we never even received an RFE on any of his petitions for my L-1 or EB-1 green card. I happened to ...find him online years ago after I started to run into problems with my L-1 petition with another attorney. Mr. Raether quickly focused on the weaknesses of the petition the other lawyer had put together and made the necessary changes to save the petition and get the approval. Since then he handled my L-1 extension, advised us on a number of business matters as we developed the business in the U.S., and secured my green card quickly and efficiently without even an RFE. Everything went perfectly. Mr. Raether takes a very personalized approach with his clients; is open and transparent; and does what he says. And his Russian language abilities make everything so easy to discuss with him. I would strongly recommend him as an expert immigration. attorney.
