Willing to Listen

We contacted Austin, who was recommended to us, to see about hiring him for my husband's petition to receive his permanent residency card (green card). Austin was willing to meet with us on a Saturday morning, which was really impressive. He really listened to us to understand our situation. This in...itial meeting made us confident to hire him. We had a tight schedule to submit the petition and related materials, but Austin was aware of the deadline and got back to our questions in a timely manner. He was also great at explaining everything in a clear and concise way so that we would be as knowledgeable as possible. He went over the final petition with us, and it was very organized and professional. I am confident that this was a main reason that the petition was processed quickly, and my husband's visa interview was scheduled for less than four months from when the petition was received. Austin encouraged us to have a mock interview with him, which proved very helpful. Many things he drilled with us were brought up in the actual interview. Austin accompanied us to the interview, and both my husband and I felt confident and comfortable during the interview because of Austin's help. In just over a week, my husband received his permanent resident card. We are very grateful for Austin's help, and highly recommend him as a competent and trustworthy lawyer who is willing to listen to his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
