Excellent Attorney

Helped me in obtaining U immigrtion visa when my other hired attorney was procastinating on my case. Quickly moved my case to Mr. Shonk who deligently got certifications and all the paperwork done in a timely manner. Finally got my work authorization too. He made the whole process easy to understand ...and kept me updated at all times. I would definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their immigration problems.

I was in great danger of being Deported , other attorneys turned me down , they said there was nothing they could do and my wife met Mr. Paul and hire him, He got me out of jail , work with me through all the process, went to meet relatives to their jobs or houses and more, He went the extra mile for... me , Me and my family are very thankful . Thank you Paul !!

Looking for a lawyer who's afforadble,dependable, and reliable who'll get the job done?

The services received from Mr. Shonk were very professional and handled our situation with care. Our family resides in New York , our brother needed representation in Ohio, was a huge challenge. Shonk made it possible! Mr. Shonk listened to our situation, unlike the other lawyers my family and I have... spoken with. He is an asset to his company. I truly recommend him to anyone in their worst situation.

My family thanks you Paul Shonk

I truly appreciate everything Attorney Paul Shonk did for my brother when he was in trouble with immigration. My brother was arrested in August 2013, with immigration in October 2013 and home by December 2013. There was no false hope or promise. He gave an honest opinion and told me the truth. My br...other had a 50/50 chance of getting deported. He went to speak to him without charging us yet and was honest about where we stood with his case. He stuck to the price he gave me until the very end. He said he will do his best and did just that. He went the extra mile for my brother and my family. At the end, everything came out exactly how he said. My family appreciates his honesty, integrity and hard work. Thanks to Paul Shonk, my brother is out of trouble, with family and was not deported. Anyone who hires him should believe in him because what he says he will do, he delivers. My family is forever in debt to him. Thank you for everything!
