Christian Georg Andreas Zeller

In his introductory meeting and in his welcome letter we were told, that “the real essence of lawyering is that of caring”. This might be true for layers who really care – and there are many, however, I personally had not the feeling that this is true for Mr. Zeller. We were told and have it in writ...ten that his firm would answer calls on a timely base. Fact is that you should be happy if you receive an answer at all. But be cautious with those answers. We were told by his Associate that we can still travel to the US by our previous Visa Waiver if our E2-Visa would get denied. As this sounded funky we tried to reach Mr. Zeller over the phone but could never reach him. We then asked his Associate for a written confirmation. After receiving the confirmation email, we booked a flight to the US. Guess what – your Visa Waiver is no longer valid once an E2-Visa has been denied. So, another $1400 down the drain. After proofing Mr. Zeller’s statement wrong, we were told by Mr. Zeller that he never gave that statement and his Associate simply made it up. However, asking Mr. Zeller for our loss of $1400 based on his Associate’s lie, we were told, that although this statement was definitely made by HIS employee, he (Mr. Zeller) does not feel like this would be his problem. After arguing back and forth he finally agreed to refund $1000 as a “courtesy”. A lawyer with a true work ethic would have apologized a thousand times and refund the full loss.

I run a data recovery company and hired an exceptional data recovery engineer from New Zealand. Data recovery is a sectretive industry. DR companies spend large amounts of money in research and development. We had know idea how challenging the to the green card would be for an expert in this industr...y without a college degree. My first experience with a lawyer with a simple H1B application was horrible. I received three phone calls and no paperwork was submitted and basically gave away $2500.00 Then I was recommended to Christian Zeller by my corporate attorney. Chris is very knowledgable and was able to provide my employee H1B immediately. That is; however, where the real battle began and the tenasity of Chris and his team proved invaluable. We were able to prove the my employee did posess special knowledge and ability. We were shot down once and refilled accordingly. At the time Chris was not an expert in data recovery but he is now. My employee and his family now have there green cards and are purchasing their first home. I highly recommend Chris and his staff, you cannot go wrong with them!

Competent, but overpriced. You really feel like a number with him. Since I had a small immigration case, I was relegated to only dealing with paralegals which were competent, but not stellar. Once I hired him, he never talked, emailed or saw me again. Every time, I asked to talk or see him, a paraleg...al would call me back to deal with me. He might treat his corporate clients better, but the firm is not worth the price for an individual's immigration case. I interviewed 4 lawyers and chose Maney, Gordon & Zeller because of the volume of my type of cases they handle per year. I would have had the same good results for 30% less with most other immigration firms. I regret paying this premium and being treat like a number.

The firm of Maney & Gordon came to us as a recommendation. We were very fortunate to have Christian and Liz assigned to us. They've been taking care of our immigration needs for many years now and can't imagine anybody else handling our case. They literally treat us like family. I don't just say that.... For example, as with any legal endeavor, as air tight as it seems, there will always be a stumbling block. With clients like us who has everything riding on a positive outcome, panic sets in as if the world is coming to an end. This is where Christian and Liz become family. They spend the time talking us down and assuring us that they will be throwing everything at the stumbling block along with the kitchen sink if necessary. Extremely assuring where by the time the phone call concludes, we are feeling positive and at ease. This is something they don't have to do. Especially after a long day with a lot more on their plate than us. After all these years we learned to let Christian and Liz just do what they do best. Help families realize their dreams. Christian and Liz come very highly recommended. Anybody with immigration issues would be very fortunate to have these two in your corner! Thank you Christian and Liz!

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.
