Maney , Gordon, Zeller P.A

Me and my family had a great experience with Maney , Gordon, Zeller P.A handling our immigration cases. In my opinion they are some the most knowledgeable and professional lawyers I have seen in the United States. They took our case after my mother had visited several other law firms that told us w...e didn’t have a case and that our best chance was to return to our home country. When Christian Zeller and his team took our case, he was very clear that our situation was complex and that it would take significant time, however, he believed they could help us and they promised they would do his best. Throughout the entire process, the follow-ups and updates were done promptly and without missing any deadlines for any of the filings we had to make. Whenever they provided us with instructions these were very clear, accurate, and in order. Additionally, if we ever needed anything or simply had questions about our cases he or anybody of his team were there for us .They absolutely follow through until each one of our individual cases were completed. My family and I now reside permanently here in the United States partly because of the great work that Maney , Gordon, Zeller P.A did for us. My best regards to Christian Zeller and his team.

a very knowledgeable immigration attorney

Chris Zeller of Maney & Gordon has been my immigration attorney for several years. Chris is a very knowledgeable and capable attorney, and has always been very responsive. His communication is excellent, and problems and situations are handled and resolved promptly by him and his staff. I highly ...recommend Mr. Zeller. I have also met Mr. Maney on several occasions and have found him to be very personable.

Super kind and caring personality

How often do you meet a person whom you feel you can trust completely ? This has been the case with Christian Zeller. He is extremely kind and really cared about finding the best solution for me. I had many immigration questions, and he has been giving the best advise possible. He is the type ...that will help you with a question even if he is on vacation in Europe. Choosing his services for my situation was a very wise move.

"I endorse this lawyer with all my heart. i have known Chris for all of the 22 years i have practiced immigration law, and have worked with him on immigration matters even before he went to law school. Chris is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of immigration, and has, as an immigrant, been personally subjected to the process. Chris has been a speaker at the American Immigration Lawyers Association's National Convention two years running (2014 and 2015), and only the best get invited to speak to their peers. I give Chris a 5 star rating in knowledge and expertise. i highly recommend him as attorney and friend."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I highly endorse Christian Zeller. He is an outstanding advocate in the field of immigration law. I have seen him succeed at the most complicated and difficult immigration cases. He is Board Certified in Immigration Law, a distinction only a handful of lawyers ever achieve. This is a similar premise to doctors achieving a specialization in a certain area, such as cardiology. When your loved one has a heart attack, do you take them to a general practitioner or to a cardiologist? The same goes for immigration. He has passed rigorous boards and examinations to become an expert in his field. Christian is dependable, knowledgable, and will go the extra mile for his clients. I am honored to work alongside such a talented individual."
