The lawyer you need

I had a conviction in my record that affect my ability to get my citizenship. Mr Johnatan came highly recommend from my immigration attorney and he was right. Mr Minkus went out of his way to get my conviction changed to the level that won't affect me anymore. I highly recommend his services.

For anyone who needs hope

I was wrongfully advised by an immigration lawyer to expunge my criminal record that consisted of a drug related charge in order to apply for residency. My wife and I quickly found out this was not true and were referred by two different lawyers (who did not know one another) to contact Mr. Minkus. W...e were without hope and filled with stress. After meeting with Mr. Minkus we retained his services immediately. We had an idea about how much his services would cost (and although it took about a year to be able to) we came prepared. It was worth it. He informed us how much more difficult our case is because we expunged the records. He was honest right from the beginning and actually cared. He didn't disregard our stress and anxieties like most lawyers we met with. Throughout the whole process we never had any difficulty getting in touch with him and he updated me every step of the way. Although our chances were slim to none in getting a favorable outcome- he did it. Thanks to him and his hard work we now have hope that I can become a resident of this country and can take the next steps to do so. As the decision was finalized the judge made sure I knew... "You have yourself a good lawyer here." I will recommend, and do recommend, everyone who needs hope to Mr. Minkus.

A miracle worker for me and my family

I hired Mr. Minkus a month ago after a convoluted incident that left me with criminal trespass and criminal damage to property, possibly pending a burglary charge. The confessions I had written and the police notes that were taken while I was in custody painted a very bad portrait of me and the syste...m likely would have given me a severe sentence if not for Mr. Minkus. He was able to negotiate with the ASA assigned to my case and ultimately the criminal damage to property charge was dropped and I was given a very lenient supervision sentence, allowing me to expunge it by July of next year. This man has done more than I can ever imagine to help me and I am extremely grateful for his work. I would recommend him to anyone who's in trouble with the law and needs a lawyer who can go above and beyond what he's asked to do.
