Best Immigration lawyer

There is not another immigration lawyer that is as good or knowledgeable as Scott Devore! His vast experience and knowledge about immigration law and the process makes it so much easier for his clients. He is also very responsive and thorough - which is very important- we were able to work through al...l the steps efficiently to get my husband’s green card as quickly as possible. He has a way of breaking things down so it is easy to follow and anticipated all our questions so we were prepared along the way. His reputation is stellar in this field , he came highly recommended and we were so appreciative of the expertise with which he handled our case.

As good as it gets

Scott was my attorney for 21 years (yes that is how long it took to process my case). He is very knowledgeable, knows immigration law in and out and if there is one person that can help with a very difficult situation it is definitely Scott. After 2 decades, he has earned my gratitude and brought my... case to a positive outcome. He has spent a significant amount of time responding to immigration and immigration courts. He flew from his home office in Florida to meet me in Cleveland for my court date twice. Once in 2010 for the initial hearing and the second for the final hearing in 2020. He even flew 1 day from Florida to Cleveland to hand deliver my file to make sure it gets there on time. You will not find a more dedicated and helpful attorney anywhere else.

Best Immigration Attorney in Palm Beach, FL

Mr. Devore is the best Immigration attorney you can find in Palm Beach, FL. He is a great communicator, very patient, and always available. He eased us right away since the first appointment. He is a true professional. My husband and I loved working with him. Super sweet, efficient, and organized! I ...would recommend Scott Devore to absolutely anyone who is looking for an Immigration Attorney. Thank you, Mr. Devore, for making this process as painless as possible for us!

Best in Class - Always Accessible

Immigration is never easy. Scott has helped me through a very tough time in my life with the utmost professionalism, all whilst making me feel like a friend and calming my nerves - he truly cared about my case and it was evidenced by the way he handled it and his attention to detail. I didn't feel li...ke I was just a file on his desk. Scott has handled all necessary paperwork in the quickest manner and never took more than 30 minutes to respond to an email or a text from me - he has been truly accessible throughout my case and was always on top of things. I could not have done it myself and Scott was absolutely instrumental to my immigration case. Scott understands the law perfectly, has ample experience in the field and has been doing this for so long, he knows everyone from Security to Judge on a first name basis in the West Palm immigration world and beyond. I would recommend Scott 10/10 times for any case/question involving immigration.

Worth the money

I hired Mr Devore for a family members immigration case. He was very thorough as to letting me know exactly what was going on. He answered my phone calls and text messages any time of day or night. He was very accommodating in every aspect dealing with the case. I would absolutely recommend him 100...%. Thank you Scott.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
