Excellent Immigration Law Firm - Great Service

Our family is incredibly thankful to Alan and his entire law firm for their hard work throughout my case. When I was first looking for an competent immigration attorney back in 2009, I wasn’t sure where to turn and I chose Alan based on the excellent reviews online . I am glad and extremely thankful... that we went with Alan. Throughout the timeline of my immigration journey, everyone at his law firm was kind, patient, and informative. I cannot thank them enough for their assistance, time, and effort. I wish Alan and his team continued success and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced immigration law firm.

My Experience with Aln Goldfarb

Attorney Alan Goldfarb worked on Permanent Residency case and di an amazing job. From the beginning to the end. Always quick to respond emails and phone calls and kept me informed the whole time. If it wasn't for him I would have lost my petition because he found a discrepancy on my documents and tha...nk to him and his team I was able to fix it. I highly recommend Attorney Alan Goldfarb and his team.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Alan for several years and have appreciated the opportunity to collaborate informally on occasion during that time. He has an outstanding reputation among immigration lawyers, for knowledge of the law, diligence, and integrity. He has a diverse practice - I know he handles complex employment-based matters like J-1 waivers for physicians and also works with a wide range of issues for employers, like H-1Bs and L-1s and labor certifications. He also works on family-based immigration and removal proceedings. He and his law partner Michael Davis have a very successful I-601 waiver practice for Mexicans. I endorse this lawyer."

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.
