Great job!

Mr. Gopal and his team did an excellent job giving us the information we needed for successful resolution of our case. Our case had some quirks and Mr. Gopal and his team responded to every query quickly and efficiently. We really appreciate their help and service! We highly recommend them for your i...mmigration needs.

His Knowledge and attention to details made my experience just so much easier.

I would definitely recommend Divyesh to any client seeking for immigration assistance! He is extremely down to earth, personable, and professional. Most importantly, he is very pleasant to work with and goes above and beyond for his clients. My wife and I have dealt with other lawyers and our experie...nce with Divyesh has been nothing but fantastic. He helped me file for my us citizenship which was denied in the past and for many other matters. I feel very lucky to have met Divyesh and I definitely made the right decision by hiring him. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. Having him made us feel at home. He is truly a trusted advisor and I highly recommended.

Amazing!

I have had the chance to meet several people and attorneys at Gopal&Pedigo. I can say with upmost sincerity that everyone at the office seems to be totally concerned about the welfare of the client. While the client is stressed about the situation they may have found themselves in. The staff as wel...l as, all the attorneys I spoke to whether or not I needed to retain them were very helpful. I would hopefully never have to use a immigration attorney, but if I needed one Divyesh Gopal or Kimberly Pedigo are in my opinion, one of the best. This is based on my personal experiences with Gopal&Pedigo. Give them a try if you find yourself needing an attorney. I feel confident you will be happy with the good work they do.

When no other attorney believed that my case was possible, Mr. Div Gopal did and I obtained my LPR in the United States!

For over two years I consulted with 5 other immigration attorneys about my case. Some of them didn't even bother in looking into my case because they said that it was impossible that I could become a permanent resident due to a criminal record of almost 30 years back. Those attorneys who showed som...e interest just wanted my money without giving me any assurance that I could obtain this benefit. When I met Mr. Gopal, he took the time to look into my case without even charging me a consultation fee. It took him over a month to get back to me, but when he did, he explained all the legal issues and matters in a language and terms easy for me to understand and believed along with me that the adjustment of status was possible. When the moment of setting up his fees came, he was EXTREMELY reasonable on what he charged me and also gave me a payment plan that was easy and accessible for me to pay. Finally, what he foreseen in legal terms came to fruition and USCIS approved my adjustment of status and granted me and my family our permanent residence. I recommend Mr. Div Gopal and will always endorse his professionalism and most of all his human and kind spirit and hard work for those who dream to make a permanent living in this great nation.

Sincere, Compassionate and Knowledgeable attorney and paralegal

We needed an attorney we could trust would be dedicated to our case. Doesn't everyone? Well we were fortunate to have found that quality in Mr. Gopal and paralegal, Shirley. Wow, how impressed I am with their compassion. More than 3 years ago we began the process. Myself being totally in the dar...k about what was about to happen, placed my trust in this firm. The first year was the most difficult. The long waits were horrible but every time I called or emailed, they were there for me. Very quick to answer emails. They go through it WITH YOU!!! You really feel supported and that you are not alone in the craziness. The 2nd year I was not as crazy although I was still a bit annoying I am sure. They still were very patient with me. The approval of the case has many steps. I now understand the process and that it takes dedication from the attorney and paralegal on the case as well as knowledge and being able to gain the trust of their clients. It is finally over and very worth it. If you want an attorney you can really trust that is honest and interested in your case and you need one that will go through the process with you emotionally. Very honest with us about every step. This is the firm for you. Incredible, how they were professional, compassionate and so knowledgeable. They were spot on with every step. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Div and Shirley. You are amazing!
