Outstanding

Jakub is an outstanding attorney who guided us through the entire fiancé visa process with professionalism and care. Our case had some unique challenges — including having to schedule the interview in a different country and responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE) — but Jakub supported us every st...ep of the way. He explained everything clearly, prepared us thoroughly for the interview, and was always responsive to our calls and emails. After our wedding, he continued to assist us with the green card process, ensuring everything went smoothly. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were approved without any issues. We’re incredibly grateful for his help and highly recommend him.

$400 for consulataion

Mr. Jakub Szlaga charged me and my wife $400 for ''free consultation''. After meeting with Jacob for approx. 15 minutes he gave us some generic information like ''you need to have pictures together'' etc. He acted like he will represent us and asked for $400 dollars that I gave him cash but when I... called him week later, he announced that he won't take the case since it may be complicated (my wife is black I'm white) and that the $400 was for consultation. WHAT!!!???? I know I should have asked for some paper, but I used Kuba before for small stuff (with poor results and is probably good he didn't take it) You want a good attorney? Use American ...

Excellent immigration Lawyer

I recently applied for my green card with him and am very happy I found him. Not only will he guide you through the whole thing and explain what's what, he'll also give you pretty decent estimates of outcomes and their timelines. Keep in mind that this is immigration and nothing's guaranteed, but he ...definitely knows how to present your case. Thanks to him, my EAD came through pretty fast and I'm very thankful for it. Added bonus, his services are VERY affordable.

Professional, informative, and compassionate attorney!

My wife and I were recommended Jakub Szlaga from a family friend while we went through the green card application process. We had the usual worries and stresses that go along with immigration. Jakub was patient, diligent, and guided us along through all the paperwork and requirements. In addition to ...his wealth of knowledge of the inner-workings of the immigration systems, Jakub genuinely cares, and his passion shows. He really was dedicated to helping us and was very patient with our constant questions and worries. We could not have imagined a better person to assist us in this step of our lives. We are very grateful, and my wife is now a green card holder!

"There are not enough wonderful things that can be said about Jakub as an attorney, a friend and a person. Not only am I friends with Jakub, but we have worked together on immigration matters. We have also assisted each other with real estate and deed issues for respective clients. Jakub is best known for being highly skilled at navigating immigration matters, but is also an attorney that can handle most matters due to his hard work ethic and ability to research. Jakub is a consummate "learner," that always wants to know more to better represent his clients. Jakub's most important traits are his compassion for his clients and his dedication to assisting them. I highly recommend Mr. Szlaga's legal services."
