Jerry was very knowledgeable and detailed on my H1B working visa applying.

It is 1st time my company sponsored staff for working visa, we all have no experience with that. Jerry was very patient to explain. He also directly contacted my boss to get confidential information. He was very professional to communicate with my boss. He got things done as promised with an ext...remely reasonable price. He is the best Immigration lawyer you could chose to represent you, highly recommended.

Best Immigration Lawyer

I’m so happy and honored to be the first client to review Jerry. Where do I start…I first came to the US on a F1 student visa. After I completed my master degree in Music, I found a job in a music school to teach Piano in CA, so I needed a visa to work and stay. I found Jerry via a friend’s recomm...endation so I contacted him right away. Jerry is a very good immigration lawyer; he advised me over the phone and answered a lot of my concerns. So I ended up hiring him to file for my h1b. However, due to the lottery last year, I had no luck. Then Jerry came up with another kind of visa for me and he did get that approved so I could continue to stay and work legally in CA. It was a very creative solution to a difficult situation. As a foreigner from China, I found that having a skilled and reliable lawyer is very important. Jerry is a very professional, creative and skilled immigration lawyer. He is very creative and always gives me the most practical advises and solutions to my legal questions. He is also easy to get hold of and always gets back to me either by phone or emails. Also his Cantonese speaking staff helped me a lot too. In conclusion, I am very happy with Jerry’s legal services. From my h1b to Q visa to now a green card, Jerry has been playing a very key role in this path. Now I’m getting married to my boyfriend who’s a US citizen, without a doubt, I will need his service again. Given my personal experience with Cipolla Law Group, I highly recommend Gerald Cipolla to anyone who needs his professional legal services which is every penny’s worth.
