Best Immigration Attorney

Mr. Pierce represented my employment based 485 application and I got green card for me and for my family. My application was not an easy one, expected lot of hurdles and might not possible with other attorneys. He took 3-4 weeks to review and collected lot of material to understand himself first abo...ut my case/situation and he asked me to submit the supplementary documents which will go with the application. He anticipates what are probable hurdles and prepares you. He knows exactly what need to be done before we go for the interview, prepares himself and you. I felt very comfortable with him entire period of my application processing and during the interview. He is very experienced person, friendly and honest person. He is very professional in service and charges reasonable. He attends emails, phone calls on the same day. Sometimes he may forget few minute things about your case due to heavy work load, just need to remind him. But this is common in many busy attorneys. I suggest you write down everything what he is suggesting about the documents needed to be submitted with the application and about fees/payment time and methods, so that everybody will be on the same page. I recommend Mr. Pierce for all green card related services. I can say that you won’t get the best representative as compare to Mr. Pierce in any green card related cases.

An attorney with a heart

Our family has known Mr. Pierce for almost 10 years now and up-to-date he and his secretary has been an amazing help for our family with visa/immigration matters. We are very grateful and blessed to get Mr. Pierce help with our immigration matters. There are several things we could vouch for when i...t comes for honesty and integrity of his law firm. 1. He truly respects the situation your seeking help with he would do whatever possible to help you in his capacity to resolve or to find solutions for the problem your faced with. 2. Mr. Pierce is very honest upfront what ways he can and cannot help (he will not cheat you like so many other bogus lawyers around the country). 3. Very methodical when documenting and filling to the immigration authorities. 4. Quick to response when sudden situations arise and when we inquire with our questions. 5. Very trustworthy in protecting the privacy. But most of all he truly does his work with a kind heart in the hopes of helping his clients with his profession which most other attorneys are not. We would certainly recommend Mr. Pierce with a heart beat. Thanks.

Immigration Assistance

Mr. Pierce helped me as an adviser and also to prepare all the necessary Paperwork to apply for my Work VISA and a few years later my US Residency.

Work Visa's Simplified

If you are in need of any sort of work visa this is the place to go. Everything was clearly explained to me, making the process so much easier. Dealing with the government can be daunting but when you have someone walking you through each step it becomes very simplified.

Do not use RWPierce

Does not explain fees, charges way more than average, and loses papers. Had to send him files more than once, with the common complaint of him not being great with computers as to why they lose our files. Fees were never explained and you're left not prepared for thousands of dollars being due immedi...ately. Mr. Pierce also does not take the time to properly read what you request, wasting your time, and then bills for that time wasted.
