Excellent and Great Attorney Committed to Help and See Matters to the Very End !!!

Prior to choosing an immigration lawyer, I did a lot of research on the internet and immigration blogs, reading people’s opinions and problems they were having with some immigration lawyers. During my research, I found a great reviews about David, Wilson Law Group. I couldn’t have asked for a bette...r attorney or did extra research. I approached David. He handled my case in a professional, honest manner, stayed in touch and is a very knowledgeable attorney, which is very important as immigration laws are constantly changing. I trust David as I would myself. David is committed to help and see matters to the very end. I greatly appreciate his hard work and high level of professionalism. David is such a great attorney that I highly recommend to anyone who needs assistance with immigration cases.

Excellent Lawyer

I am writing to recommend David Wilson as an excellent immigration attorney. In addition to assisting me with other legal issues, he has been my immigration attorney for nearly 10 years. In 2006, I went to Mr. Wilson to have my working visa (H1-B) renewed. In subsequent years, my H1-B had to be t...ransferred from one employer to another. In 2008, he helped me with an employer who didn’t want to pay me for my final two weeks of work. Around 2010, we began the process of changing my status to Permanent Resident, which we achieved in early June, 2015. He won all the cases. In every single case, not only was Mr. Wilson effective and efficient, but also he patiently explained the details of each process. With English being my second language, and not being familiar with immigration laws and vocabulary, I always appreciated that he took time to explain everything to me. His confidence made me feel more at ease through some very stressful times in dealing with the immigration process. Should I need an attorney in the future, whether it is for immigration, family, or any other matter, I will contact David Wilson without hesitation.

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.
