Jacob Lawrence Ratzan

I hired Jacob to represent me for my immigration to the states. He was outstanding in every aspect. Him and his team always responded to my emails quickly and answered all the questions I had. You could tell from the first time you meet with Jacob, he demonstrates a deep understanding of the entire p...rocess for immigration. He was able to figure out the best method for me and it worked. 6 months later, I received my green-card. He made everything easy to understand and headache free, I would highly recommend hiring him for your immigration needs, if I could give him more than 5 stars, I would!

I’d like to thank you and all your team, most sincerely, for all of the support you’ve given me since day one we started with my Green Card process. This has been for sure an exciting and a nerve-wracking process, but from the very beginning you have done an amazing job addressing all my question...s or concerns. I especially appreciate all of the time you’ve taken to accomplish the final goal.

Thanks a lot to Mr. Ratzan and his team, with his help I obtained a O1 VISA twice ! I'm a yacht designer and, when I decided to move to US, I obtained my first O1 VISA, without any additional request, thanks to the meticulous work of Mr. Ratzan. After a while I decided to accept a new job opportuni...ty and I Mr. Ratzan has quickly prepared a new request and I obtained a new O1 VISA that allowed me to work for the new employer. I'm very happy to recommend this office for any immigration procedure.

As an aspiring Mexican filmmaker I knew my chances were slim when trying to apply for a green card for the USA. A career in the arts is not always the easier one to justify as important, specially to immigration services. From the beginning I decided I wanted to apply for a EB-1 visa instead of the s...impler “artist” ones that are not for immigration. I wanted to have the chance to be a resident and not just a visitor. In the beginning I contacted five different attorneys and at the end I decided I would work with Jacob and his firm. I felt he had a great understanding and appreciation for the Latin-American culture and seemed really interested in making a connection with me and my situation. His perfect Spanish was an appreciated plus. After a first paid meeting on Skype and a look at my resume, Jacob knew exactly what he needed for my case from the get go. For almost a year I provided him with evidence of my career. I don´t know if I should mention this, but this is an example of how nice and understanding he was: He understood my economic situation and allowed me to pay him with monthly payments. It took me nine months but I managed to do so. Immigration is a nerve wracking and exhausting process. My case took almost two years but at every point, Jacob and Fernanda Melgarejo made me feel appreciated and like a human being. Their hard work, experience and guidance on this grueling process was invaluable and I´ll never forget how much they helped me. After all the hard work and everything invested on it, my case dossier was thicker than the yellow pages book and fortunately the outcome was positive: My application for a EB-1 Immigration Visa was successfully approved. I could not believe it. They say it only takes one person to believe in you so you can make a change in the world. I know these people´s work changes the lives of those who are blessed of having the chance of having their cases on their hands. And for being one of them, I´ll always be grateful.

When I was starting to look for an immigration lawyer my friend Larry recommended mr. Ratzan and his firm. Im extremely glad he did, couldn't have found a better and more dedicated lawyer and firm. Him and his team were excellent studing very patiently and carefully my case to a successful outcome. I...m comfortable recommending his services to my friends and family.
