Perfect Attorney for all your immigration problems.

I am so grateful and thankful to Chris and Jen! Chris and Jen United I and my husband...wow!! My husband is an American and I'm a Nigerian, at first we thought it was impossible, after contacting Chris, everything went well. All paperwork was done with less stress and on point. Chris replies his... emails so fast and always with solutions, very polite. I don't know how to express my happiness but I recommend anyone with migration problems to contact Chris and you will be glad you did!

Excellent Immigration lawyer.

My wife and I didn't know where to begin on helping her to apply for her green card. We found Christopher and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. He was honest, very professional, and easy to talk to. He was straightforward with his fees and quick to respond to emails and or calls. He helped... us gather everything we would need to present a strong case. I would highly recommend him for your all immigration needs. Thanks Christoper for a fine job!

Extremely Helpful

We are so grateful to have found Christopher Pogue after speaking with over 20 other attorneys. My husband and I had a very complicated immigration case and Christopher was extremely helpful throughout the entire long process. He did extensive research, was very knowledgeable, and was always ready ...with response for everything USCIS threw at us. The immigration process and waiting game was very stressful and strenuous on our relationship. We were very fortunate that Christopher was always available for phone conversation or very quick to respond to an email whenever we had a question. He constantly reassured us about our case, explained things so we could understand, and was always honest and upfront with us. We cannot say enough good things about Christopher. We truly highly recommend him for any immigration case, especially the tougher ones. Thank you so much Christopher, we could not have got through this without you.

Excellent immigration and naturalization lawyer

Mr. Christopher Pogue is one of the best immigration lawyer that we have worked with. He has been very generous. Me n my wife were just relaxed during the whole process of my wife's immigration case. He also handled my naturalization case. He always gave us the clear picture ahead and the time frames... that he used to give us were bang on. He was always available to meet, respond and answer any type of query regarding our immigration process. He used to prepare us and guide us well ahead of time. He is very friendly in nature which made us complete stress free during the whole process. Thank you so much Mr. Christopher for handling our case. We highly recommend to persons having any query regarding immigration or naturalization process should contact him up. All the best Christopher for your future endeavours.

Exellent Immigration Attorney

Mr. Christopher Pogue is an awesome immigration attorney. He is very knowledgeable about the workings of the USCIS; he was very responsive, trustworthy and kept my wife and I informed when I requested his services in March of 2012, for the change of status of my wife as a Permanent Resident of the US.... We did not know the details of the requirements and the expectations of the USCIS. After I explained our objectives to Mr. Pogue, he enthusiastically and patiently explained and defined all the information, requirements and expectations of the USCIS for our objective. Mr. Pogue thoroughly prepared all the required USCIS forms and arranged all the supporting submissions from my wife and I, and then, it a smooth sailing from there on. He kept us informed constantly for the duration of the process; within months my wife received her Green Card in the mail. Thanks to Christopher, he made it easy for us. We cannot thank him enough. My wife and I highly recommend Mr. Christopher Pogue for any persons with any transactions with the US Citizenship and Immigration service. He's the best!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
