David E. Yurkofsky

I was referred to the Law Office of David E. Yurkofsky by someone I met at the Australian Consulate in 1997. He came highly recommended. I didn't have much faith that I'd be able to work in the US as other attorneys had advised me that I would not qualify, but with David's meticulous, knowledgeable,... creative and honest work, I was granted the O-1 visa- one of the most challenging visas reserved for top-level talent. For the next 17 years, I was able to do what I love in the US thanks to David's hard work and encouragement and guidance as I built my career and continued filing and winning the prestigious O-1 visa applications. To 'win' a green card case, I had to reach the point where I could clearly prove that I was among the very very top percentile of from my country -Australia - and that I would be a benefit to the USA through my charity work with wounded warriors, fire departments and more. Eventually, when we thought I was clearly at the tippy top in my field, Mr. Yurkofsky petitioned for a green card based on "extraordinary ability" which was granted to me relatively quickly. Thanks to David, today, I am a permanent resident of the United States. I've referred several international friends to David and he helped them just as he helped me. David just doesn't put his incredibly detailed work into helping me with immigration and visas, he also puts his heart and soul into it. I still recommend him to others because I know he'll tell them the truth, not just what they want to hear as he did with me. What struck me the most was his creativity and honesty. An honest and creative New York lawyer? Yes, they do exist and I couldn't have been happier.
