Very prompt and professional lawyer.

I have a very unique immigration situation. I reached out to Mr. Thal’s office and was able to speak to him the same day. He has been very professional, transparent, and responsive to my situation. I would recommend him and his team to anyone needing immigration law support.

Extremely competent attorney

I hired Ngawang Dolker when I got a NOID and thought my world had fallen apart and today Iam one extremely happy client. My NOID was overcome thanks to her superior legal knowledge. She is a patient, accessible attorney with excellent communication skills. I got all my feedbacks in a timely manner an...d never at any point did I feel alone. Because of this, I was able to persevere through the stressful days, as I knew I was in the right hands. Her reassurance kept me going.Thank you so much Ngawang Dolker I highly recommend her to those seeking immigration benefits.

Citizenship application

To put things in perspective, let it be said that my case was quite complex, and that it was not all guaranteed that my application would be accepted, far from that. Yet I passed my interview and was recommended for approval. This is really the culmination of years working on an application for citiz...enship which Steven Thal took care of with meticulous care. I have always felt things were done seriously by Steven and that I could trust his opinion. He has been very thorough, which assuaged my fears that I may be blocked at some point in the application process. He and his legal assistant have been very understanding, patient, and have shown stellar hospitality. This is pertinent since prior to hiring Steven as my attorney, I had another immigration lawyer who treated me with utter disdain. I never felt an iota of negative feelings on Steven's part. If you are a non-immigrant going through the same grueling application process, you know how important it is to feel welcome. It is no small matter. All things considered, I naturally strongly recommend Steven's firm, and him in particular, with no reservation whatsoever.

Outstanding Lawyer and Team

We have had the privilege of working with Steve and his team for the past six years. Our daughter’s immigration case was complex and nuanced. Navigating this process required a knowledgable, steady hand. We had that in Steve and more. When we encountered a series of roadblocks, Steve had foreseen ma...ny of them and was prepared with a plan. All along the way, even when it became stressful and success was in doubt, Steve was collaborative, flexible and responsive. We appreciate that he was not only honest and realistic about our situation but also hopeful. In the end, all of the time and hard work paid off and our daughter has now attained her U.S. citizenship. Steve and Ashley worked tirelessly for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

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.
