Best Immigration Lawyer in Illinois

20+ years later, and my mother was finally able to get her Green Card! We spent thousands of dollars and hours with many different lawyers, but Jeffery was different. He got it done, and at a fraction of the price! My mom's case was extremely difficult, and Jeff handled it with professionalism and cl...ass. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable on immigration law and, most importantly, he is very trustworthy. I learned through my mother's process, that trust is one of the most important things you can get from a lawyer, and unfortunately something that very few immigration lawyers have. All the other immigration lawyers we had in the past would only fill out forms. Jeff was the only one that truly cared and actually consulted and vouched for us. Jeff is different from everyone else, and you owe it to yourself to reach out to him in your immigration process. My mom’s case was extremely difficult, yet Jeff was able to win it for us! I highly recommend Jeffrey, and he will continue to be the one I reach out to for anything law related in the future. Thank you Jeffrey Middlesworth for changing the lives of two immigrants!

Extremely helpful lawyer

Jeff was unlike any other lawyer. He was very compassionate, friendly & trustworthy. He thoroughly listened to our case & allowed us to pay in reasonable payment plans. He made sure to keep each person involved in the case well informed & always answered our calls in a timely manner. He spoke Spanish... to my family members who couldn't understand English. He made our case the least stressful as possible for us. Will always continue to use Zuma Law for any problems in the future. Definitely recommend him!

Great guy

Respectful, intelligent, ethical,knowledge of the law and affordable, what characterize Mr. Middlesworth. The funny part is that I couldn't trust my own judgement to pick a lawyer for my case, since I had bad experience in the past, so I had to trust one of his past clients, which I meet online to th...e Facebook page of "Immigrate to the US". I wasn't disappointed,actually I was very impressed by his work, and I will highly recommend Mr. Middlesworth to all of my fellow hardworking immigrants.
