About Jonathan
Biography
I have lived the immigration process and not many lawyers can say that. My first exposure to the complexities of US immigration law occurred when I was empoyed by the United Nations High Commission of Refugees in a refugee camp in Thailand. In the mid 90's the immigration laws changed drastically, penalyzing families in the camp who had already been approved to live in the US for engaging in certain, how can i say, illicit behaviors. Admissions were enough to disqualify families from being allowed to enter the US. This struck me as unfair and very unAmerican. It was during this period of time that i wanted to help those who were stuck in the immigration web.
My further contact with immigration law occurred some years later, again before i was an attorney when i petitioned for my wife for her residency in the United States.

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.

Jonathan Aaron Bartell's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. He truly has a diverse skill set and has established himself in a niche where very few practice, yet many clients find themselves. This could exactly the firm you are looking for."
"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."
