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.

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...
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.

Thank you
Had a serious problem with my h filing. Time was running out and then I had to leave the us because of family demands in a third country. I provided mr Bartell the drop dead dates (4 days after filing) I could remain. Mr Bartell and his associate worked tirelessly with a supervisor in California a...
"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."
