A Great Helper!

I needed solid legal advice on several complicated situations, and Attorney Conidi was exactly the person I needed. His recommendations were practical, clear, and tailored to my specific circumstances. Having gone through the immigration process himself, he understands it from both sides and brings e...mpathy and honesty to his guidance. I’m incredibly grateful for his time and support.

Everything Went Perfectly

Everything Went Perfectly My mother-in-law is a refugee from the war in Ukraine. We helped her reach Canada, but she didn’t have a U.S. visa, and given her age, we didn’t want her waiting at the border or risking complications. Attorney Conidi handled everything — all the documentation, the preparat...ion, every question we had. The crossing went unbelievably smoothly, and she spent only two hours at the border despite not speaking English. We’re now reunited in the U.S., and we are incredibly thankful. Highly recommend!

Difficult Male VAWA Case Approved!

I previously worked with another attorney who struggled with the complexities of my VAWA case. I felt hopeless — until I met Attorney Daniel Conidi. He was compassionate, thorough, and clearly experienced in handling delicate VAWA matters. He guided me step by step, made sure I understood everything..., and prepared me so well that my VAWA interview was approved without any issues. His dedication changed my life. I’m deeply grateful.

Exceptionally Effective in a Complex Immigration Case

I’m grateful I was referred to Attorney Conidi. He successfully resolved my complicated immigration situation after all my previous attempts had failed. He worked tirelessly on my case, and his firm’s staff was consistently helpful. These days, immigration litigation is tougher than ever — being ri...ght is not enough; you need someone strategic, meticulous, and deeply knowledgeable. If you need a seasoned immigration litigation attorney, Attorney Conidi is the one.
