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.

Wonderful Experience

We had an excellent experience with Jakub during the application of my marriage based green card. He is very friendly and has a very calming influence to help you manage the daunting immigration process. He clearly outlines to you the process and all the documents needed.He is also very thorough & or...ganized with the applications and very prompt to respond to your queries (via email, text or phone). The entire process from submitting the application to receiving green card took about 6 months. We would highly recommend his service!

Highly Recommend

My husband and I worked with Jakub on my husband’s immigration case into the United States from Canada. We had an excellent experience. Jakub was thorough, considerate and often times went above and beyond to see to it that our case was expedited and accurately handled. Whenever we had questions with... the process, he took the time to answer and if he was unsure he would research and get back to us. He was open and consistent with communication and very respectful of and empathetic to our situation. We had worked with other immigration lawyers before and they just treated us like a number and dismissed our questions. Not with the case here. We give our highest recommendation.

Excellent Lawyer

Jakub Szlaga helped me gain my citizenship within a year, when it had literally been dragging out for over a decade because of the INS and their tendency to be slow. He was quick to respond to any of my questions and didn't use lawyer jargon and was comforting as well as extremely professional and on... point. I'm so lucky that I happened to meet him.

Best legal experience to date

Attorney Jakub Szlaga handled my mother's immigration case. Despite being young, he masterfully navigated the nuances of US immigration law, in the face of my mother's case being a difficult one. In fact, several other lawyers were reluctant to take the case because they were unsure they could delive...r the result. Szlaga not only delivered the promised outcome, he proved to be a knowledgable source of wisdom throughout the process, explaining difficult legal realities in simple language, helping my mother handle the stressful process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Phelps and Szlaga to anybody looking for legal help and advice. Their primary desire to help others and the approachable and friendly nature in which they tackle the client-attorney relationship is a refreshing departure from a frequently unpleasant way in which legal professionals treat their customers.

"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."
