Highly Recommended

Love my experience with Meltser Law Group. I had a consulting meeting with Mr Meltser back in June and he told me not to worry about the complicated process to apply to become a permanent resident, the law firm would do everything for me. I just need to provide the necessary documents and complete th...e online applications. I got my documents ready within a month and they submitted my case in early July. Every time I have any concerns or questions, I always email my case manager or the lawyer. I would say sometimes I get a reply for about one week but if it is an emergency, I get a response back the next day. The front desk always picks up the call if I call the office. I just got my green card last Saturday and it only took me 3 months to get it. I think it is all thanks to Melster Law Group's professionalism and they have 3 different people to check all my documents are valid and accurate before they submit my cases to the government.

Honest, transperent, professional

We have had a consultation with Mr.Meltser. What caught my eye right away he wasn't wasting our time. Didn't do any promises, but Only clarified the facts, nowadays laws, rules and regulations. His advises and the knowledge of today's immigration situation in the country were superb. Very transparen...t, honest in his opinions and professional in his Attorney - Customer approach.

Thank you!

Dear Mr. Meltser, I simply wanted to say thank you for helping me with my legal issue – I live in a different state than you and it was obvious I would not be a potential client for you; nevertheless, you took the time to answer my emails promptly, point me in the right direction and offered to co...-counsel. Meanwhile, several other lawyers in my current state that I reached out to, gave me a runaround, or did not know how to handle my unusual case, or simply ignored my calls or emails. If the opportunity presents itself, I would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again!

A very professional and informed attorney

I was fortunate to have met and worked with Mr Melster for my immigration process. I was told twice that I didn’t have a chance to adjust my immigration status and just when I was about to give up I met Mr Melster.The Knowledge and experience he has made me feel hopeful that I could obtain not only a... work permit but also my permanent residency. He was always polite and professional in his communication and listened to all my requirements very patiently.Highly recommended.

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.
