I cannot imagine where I would be without Elan help and dedicated care.

I am thrilled to share my review of Elan Barrett Law Firm. Although I was referred to Elan Barrett by a friend who was saved by the Barrett Law Firm from deportation, I was still uncertain of my case. However, Elan Barrett reassured me during our first meeting that he would not take my case if he did...n't believe I had a chance at getting a green card. To my surprise, I received my green card in a relatively short time, thanks to Elan Barrett's dedication. Before consulting with Elan , I had met with another lawyer who recommended that I apply for an artist visa before applying for a green card. Ilan, on the other hand, submitted my application for a green card from the start, saving me years of dealing with a visa that would limit my work opportunities. Elan's guidance not only saved me time and money but also opened up new possibilities for me and my daughter in the United States. I am grateful for Elan's expertise and highly recommend the Barrett Law Firm to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. I cannot imagine where I would be without Elan help and dedicated care.

Only the Best!!!!!

Let me tell you about a man that knows what he is doing. He is kind and honest. He listens and then speaks. He is never in a rush to collect your money and get you out of his wonderful office. I have known him for 7 years and not once has he not returned my call or reply to my email. Talk about a ve...ry knowledgeable attorney and Elan is you who you see. I honestly love my attorney and trust me my journey has not been easy. ALWAYS Elan is the way to go!

My husband was detained by ICE and housed in BTC in Broward, Florida for one year back in 2010. It was unthinkably the most difficult time of my entire life. I went through multiple Attorneys’ (four to be exact) who just took my money and did nothing to help. My husband was not even able to bond out ...of BTC until a year later. Thankfully, when he did, it was the utmost happiest moment of my life but we knew we could stay with the current Attorney we had because of all the issues and extra money she cost us by refilling petitions based on her own mistakes. We searched up and down for someone who had extraordinary credentials, references and experience. No one willing fully took our case because we had criminal issues, overstay issues, marriage while in detention, etc. Thankfully, we found Attorney Elan Baret. We did not have an easy case and it was voluminous with issues all over. We were completely out of hope and we thought that deportation or voluntary departure would be our only option. We had no support from family and small support from friends, we felt no where close to having a strong case or even a chance. When we first met Mr. Baret his calm and soothing energy renewed our hope and our faith in the US System. Mr. Baret did not run us in circles and he did not play games. He was very straight forward with what we needed to do in terms of paperwork, filings, etc. in order to make our situation satisfactory. We did not have much money and his price seemed extreme, but we know now it was worth every single cent and we would even pay more if we had it with no regrets whatsoever. We did leave his office with a sense of sadness because we felt so strongly about our desire to hire Mr. Baret but we could not afford it. We explained this to Mr. Baret and he made the costs manageable for us by allowing us to make payments in installments. Being that we were so satisfied with his work from the moment we turned our case over to him, we couldn’t help but to pay him in full right away. Mr. Baret and his staff, worked on our case as if it was their own. They truly make it known that every case is a priority. They attach themselves to their clients and they became a part of your family by fighting harder then even your own blood relatives would. They do not leave any stone uncovered and they truly exhaust all possibilities in an attempt to bring forth satisfactory results. Mr. Baret goes into court confident and puts up a well-thought argument where he cannot help but to win even the most difficult of cases, such as ours. They truly make your case, theirs and they do so with pride. They push for every opportunity and unlike most Immigration Attorney’s they don’t just want your money, they genuinely want to help. My husband was granted conditional residency in 2012. It was a process that went on for 2 years and 2 months. When it came time to remove his conditions, USCIS said we failed to attend an interview, however we never received notice for it. Attorney Baret has been working diligently to ensure that my husband gets permanent residency and that our interview is rescheduled. I have referred so many people to Mr. Baret because he is truly the only Immigration Attorney that I have worked with that puts so much hard work, effort, care and compassion into satisfactory results. I guarantee you that if you hire this firm, you will NEVER be disappointed. They really make miracles come true. There is no situation that is too difficult for them, because Mr. Baret is always up for the challenge and truly gets satisfactory results. Trust Mr. Baret with all of your immigration needs as he truly is the most intelligent, hard working, down to earth, compassionate Attorney you will ever find.

The most knowledgeable lawyer in and around Ft. Lauderdale

When I went in to Mr. Baret's office I had no hope, but after consulting with him, for free of course, he gave me some hope. After being in the US for 17 years, had my mother file for me, and during the process got in some legal trouble. Mr. Baret took me through the removal/ deportation court procee...dings and got me my green card. Today I am very grateful for him. He is very loyal and knows the immigration laws. He is very down to earth and makes you feel comfortable during very stressful situations.

So, to anyone... looking for a lawyer in USA I highly suggest that you let Mr Baret handle your case.He is nice,trustworthy, responsive and keeps you always informed.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
