Hired attorney

My family hired Mr. Bartell when no one wanted to take my case because I had a murder convention. Mr. Bartell told me that the chances of winning my case were slim and if I wanted he would return the money. I trusted his honesty and he made me feel very comfortable. He hired an expert to make my case... stronger. He fought for me in person to make my fight clear. He keept me calm an guided me to victory during a very stressful trial. He demonstrated my rehabilitation and changed with evidence. His closing statement sealed the deal. He also helped me afterwards when the Home Land Security attorney appealed our favor decision to make sure it wouldn't get overturned which he did successfully. I got to stay in this beautiful country were I was raised thanks to him . My family and I highly recommend his services.

Horrible experience

We hired Jonathan to manage my wife's immigration paperwork. Unless you want to have to babysit someone do not hire this guy. Even though I gave him everything he needed right away it would still take them months to file the paperwork. Literally over a month to file her change of status and 8 MONTH...S to file her work permit. I didn't know the work permit should have been filed until USCIS told us in the interview(otherwise I would have been all over him about it). I brought it up to Jonathan and he said he would look into it since it was in his contract to file it. He said if he found out they didn't he would reimburse me some money. Instead of reimbursing me he decided to try and file it at that time, so they could say that they did, which didn't matter because she was already about to receive permanent residence. She could have been working for 8 months, receiving health benefits for 8 months. Save your self some time and work with someone who is actually going to work for you. I literally had to come unglued with him and his team to get them to do anything for me.

I am so sorry that you feel this way. I am very pleased that we were able to be involved in your spouse receiving her permanent residency to the United States. I take pride in the work and results we obtain for our clients and I am sure that you and your family will have many years of joy and happiness. Best of luck and congratulations.

Results!

Johnathan took on a very difficult immigration case for my wife and I involving a 601 Waiver. It was a long process but he kept us abreast of the cases progress. Requests by the Visa Center for additional information were made and he responded promptly. Ultimately we were successful and her waiver wa...s granted. Would highly reccomend.

Excellent attorney

I have been working with Jonathan Bartell for quite a few years now. Giving the complexity of my case I would not want anyone else to represent me other than Jonathan Bartell. He is always on top of things and gets everything done in the timely manner. His knowledge of the immigration law and a...ttention to details was the key to my success in winning my case. I could not be happier with the outcome! I would definitely recommend mr. Bartell to anyone who is seeking strong representation of their case.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"One of the most difficult types of law to practice is immigration / criminal law as it requires an understanding of two separate fields of law that have unique laws and procedures. Attorney Bartell is one such attorney. His comments on AVVO not only indicate his knowledge of both criminal and immigration law but also his ability to apply such knowledge to assist aliens who have criminal legal issues. I endorse Attorney Bartell in both the area of immigration law and the area of criminal law."
