The BEST Attorney I could ever wish for!!!

My husband and I were struggling to adjust my immigration status for several years. Prior to hiring Mr. Puchalski we hired another attorney who was a complete joke, but we trusted her because we were unfamiliar with the subject. She did not help us at all and throughout the years only collected money.... Someone had mentioned Attorney Puchalski to us and I can honestly say he was a God send. At the time I was so worried there was no hope with legalization of my status and Mr. Puchalski WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that my case was solved. He took time to sit down with my husband and I several times throughout the whole process, explaining every step in detail. He always returned my calls when I had any additional questions/concerns. He is very knowledgeable about the immigration law. To everyone who is looking for a brilliant attorney please don't look any further. I recommend Attorney Puchalski to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer that works hard for their clients.

DO NOT USE THIS Man FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES

I just want start that people like him shouldn’t have even an attorney license, it should be taken away from him. This guy destroyed my family completely deal with our case for 8 years and took about 18K and accomplish notting but destroying my brother and his children’s by having them deported after... they had been in this country for several years. He didn’t file proper documentation and every time that our case was denied he was asking more $$ to file different documents. Make long story short my brother spent 93 days on a federal jail and I swear to God my brother has a clean criminal record and he is a very good person we were devastated when the immigration come and get him and his family at home. This guy took 3k more to help them to get out of jail but he never did anything not even a visit in Kenosha WI federal jail. PLEASE SERCH OTHER ATTORNEYS PLEASE DO NOT USE HIM KEEP YOUR FAMILY UNITED

I highly recommend Donald E. Puchalski.

My wife and I met Donald E. Puchalski through a good friend. The day we met Don, he was straight forward with our case and showed how knowledgeable he is on immigration. Don Puchalski represented us in an immigration matter which started back in 2015. He was professional and passionate about completi...ng our case, assuring us all the way that things will be ok and that our case will be approved. Anytime I called/emailed Don Puchalski or his office about any concerns and questions, Don and his team were always there to answer. It took time, a lot of patience, waivers/petitions, hard work and commitment from both parties to get my case done. Well, It paid off! On September 28th, 2017 was one of the happiest day in our lives, my case was APPROVED! At the U.S Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Since then my wife and I have been worried free, I am proud to have become a U.S Lawful Permanent Resident. I Thank Don and his team for the great work they’ve done, I am proud to call him my friend. We will retain Donald E. Puchalski when it comes time to apply for my Citizenship without hesitation. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an outstanding lawyer.

Please don't fall for his lies

The attorney was supposed to handle my husbands case and for many years I didn't hear anything from him. He took my money and didn't follow promptly, when I finally spoke with him he said he was taking care of everything but he had no idea who I was or what was going on with my husband. The last thin...g I found out was that his secretary took my money and didn't report it to him. He said She stole but then he said he did find the money after all. All of the secretaries that I met where gone that only lead me to believe he was a horrible boss too. His demeanor towards me was only polite when I paid otherwise he would dismiss me. He truly is a horrible attorney. He lost my husbands case because he didn't file anything promptly and I had to spend more money on another attorney. I truly hope that other people don't fall in his hands because he ruined my family's life.
