Naturalization Process

I am thankful for Mr. Goldman's knowledge and attention to detail in processing my naturalization application and supporting paperwork. He made the process seamless and was always there to answer my questions. I give Mr. Goldman my unconditional recommendation.

5 Year E2 Visa approval from US Counsulate in Toronto

My equipment sales and rental business based in Toronto Canada required frequent travels into US. There were several expansion possibilities which developed and I was very confused how we could best make use of them for long term gains.. I met Mr. Goldman and discussed the possibilities and he advis...ed us on E2 investor opportunity available to Canadians. The process sounded very complex initially but the way it was Handled by Mr. Goldman was very impressive. He gathered all the relevant information's in a very simple format and translated them into a very effective submission to the US Consulate as support documents to E2 Visa applications. All through the process Mr. Goldman was very easily approachable and very patient with numerous questions I had. The support letter and the compilation of Tabs were excellent and helped us get a 5 year visa to expand our business in US. I strongly recommend Mr. Goldman and I am glad I went to him for his advise.

Very happy with Mr..Goldman services

The inmigration service office did make a mistake on my case, they decide to end with my legal status in the United States saying that i did not submit the information and documents they did required to remove my conditions, which i did, i paid the money that they required for the process also,, m...y husband who is american citizen try many times to solve the problem directly but was impossible to get an answer things did not looked good. We found Mr.Goldman he was very helpfull since first time, give us advice, help us to prove that we did our part on time, and represent us with the office solving the matter quick, we even got our money back. The explanations of every thing we ask were clear, easy direct contact, friendly office inviroment.

Mr. Goldman is a great lawyer !

Mr. Goldman is an excellent lawyer . His knowledge and work ethics are phenomenal ! First experience I had with Mr. Goldman was free consultation , he took his time and explained everything I needed to know about my case (green card based on my marriage to my husband who's an american citizen ) . I ...had no doubts when I decided to hire Mr. Goldman and I was very pleased . Every time I had a question about my case he responded rite away with an answer via email or a phone . You don't get those type of services nowadays and I was very great full for all his help ! 3 weeks from a day my paper work was submitted to an immigration office by Mr. Goldman I was scheduled for an final interview , and not even month later I was approved for my green card . Mr. Goldman was present during an interview and as always he was very supportive and help full ! I'm a very happy client and I would recommend Mr. Goldman's services to everyone !

backHOMEinORLANDO

I was picked up and facing deportation by I.C.E. this year (2011). i was picked up in orlando and transferred to the detention facility in baker county in end of September. One day after my family hired Mr. Goldman to represent me, he came to visit me. He was very knowledgeable in his field and gave ...me ALL the information on what steps he would take. I was released in less than 2 months time (faster than anyone else i was incarcerated with) and I made it HOME (in orlando) mid November, before holiday time. I would recommend Mr Goldman to anyone who maybe facing similar problems as i was.

"I have known Tom Goldman for nearly twenty years. When I first met him, I self-nominated him as my mentor. He was working as a financial advisor at the time and I was a "newbie" estate planning attorney. I needed someone wiser and experienced - I chose Tom. He has the highest integrity and I would not hesitate to endorse or recommend him."

  • 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.
