David E. Yurkofsky

David is a true expert at O1 visas. He did a great job with creating a great case and the paperwork. Although, he charged me a lot of money, he did make me do a bulk of the paperwork myself, such as drafting recommendation letters, and letters of invitations, etc., (totaling to about 25 letters) and ...so much more. Still, he built a great case and made it happen! Then he applied for the Green Card through him. Again he sent in the paper work very nicely and we did get a positive outcome. However, working with him became increasingly difficult. Despite constant reminders, he failed to act on applying for an EAD extension until it was too late. Luckily, we got our green card just 10 days before our EAD's expired, my wife and I would have lost our jobs. We were making almost daily trips to USCIS to request them to help us. And far from apologizing for this lapse, he wouldn't even acknowledge it or take responsibility for it. On the contrary he became extremely rude, arrogant and would routines say nasty things to us and even threaten to "resign" if we complained about anything. This repeating pattern of arrogant rude behavior followed by apologies was the last thing we needed from our attorney, who by the way, had charged us to the moon and back! Even when we got an RFE for the Greencard, he made me do all the paperwork and even failed to give us the correct instructions. I literally had to rush back to the post office and retrieve a mail which I sent in earlier, because he gave us additional instructions later after we had sent in the papers. Again, no apologies or acknowledges whatsoever, but terrible rude and arrogant behavior followed, when I questioned why he had not given us clear instructions before we sent the package. So while, he's good at building a case and sending the initial paperwork. But terrible with followup. He also charges way too much compared to the work he actually does, coz he made me do most of the work. But I would never work with him again, mainly because he does not know how to behave and can really add to the extreme stress that accompanies immigration ordeals.

DON'T DO IT. I decided to contact David Yurkofsky over an E3 issue that I was having. At first he was very responsive, friendly, and receptive to my needs, but as time went on and as soon as I made a payment, David was unhelpful and expected me to do most of my own paperwork (what am I paying you tho...usands of dollars for again??). He wouldn't help me set up anything with my business and when I had questions about the visa process his main response was to "google it". He certainly acts like his time is more valuable than yours and when you ask him to answer questions, he is never direct. He eventually did the forms for me, but made several errors which I had to correct him on. Whenever we spoke on the phone, he would reveal personal information about other clients he was working with and his personal life which I found very disturbing and unnecessary. All in all, getting the actual visa was fine, but working with David was an expensive headache that I'm not having again. I would recommend trying elsewhere.
