Great Experience!

Robert was with us from the initial green card application through citizenship. He was thorough, responsive, and professional. We found him personable and a pleasure to work with. Everything went smoothly with the process, and Robert made sure we were prepared for each and every step. We are lucky to... have found him.

Detail oriented, highly efficient and knowledgeable

Robert handled our marriage based permanent residency case and it was successfully approved. During our consultation, we approached him with a difficult case and he was honest in that we had a 50% chance of success. We appreciated the fact that he didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver. Rob...ert is very knowledgeable and efficient, polite and direct in his communication, leaving no room for misinterpretation. We followed his instructions, guidance and recommendations in gathering the required documents. He responds to emails promptly and answers all questions patiently. We didn't feel rushed during our consultation or any of the in-person meetings that followed afterwards. Nonetheless, our case was approved and we couldn't be more grateful. Can't recommend him highly enough!

An immigration lawyer you can trust

I first met Robert several years ago when I needed help navigating the immigration process of an application. Since then, my family and friends have gone to Robert and his team for guidance and representation. Robert has always been honest, professional and reliable. His team is very knowledgeable an...d are always up-to-date on immigration laws. They made us feel welcome and guided us every set of the way. We are very thankful for having met Robert and his team.

Highly recommend Robert!

I am a US citizen. In 2017 June I planned to file for my mother’s permanent residency. At that time my mother was in US on B2 ( visitor visa). I googled for best immigration attorney in Chicago -Milla & Associates popped up! Let me tell you, Robert and his team lived up to the reviews!!! We s...tarted with talking to Robert and he provided hours worth of advise to file permanent residency for my mother. Robert was very patient and answered all our questions and spotted an issue with our case right away. He gave us the option to file myself or to go via him. I went with option of filing myself hoping the issue he spotted won’t become a trouble. Even after deciding to file myself, I had a few follow up questions which he answered over the phone. 4 months later we got a NOID( notice of intent to deny) for the same reason Robert spotted in the first place. We hired him for Respone to NOID. It was such a stressful time preparing and providing supporting documents for the rebuttal response within 30 days. Robert and his team guided what docs needed to be prepared and answered our questions promptly, and was ready to help with any queries and follow up questions. Robert prepared a very strong rebuttal response to the NOID and sent on time. During the period of waiting for an answer from USCIS, he promptly answered my concerns on renewing EAD for my mother. Robert always had a very specific, accurate and clear answer to any queries. And many months later we received an RFE for response to NOID( which in itself is a BIG relief) as NOID was off the plate and USCIS was giving us one more chance. Robert and his team again stepped up to the challenge and gave very specific detailed guidance to prepare the right set of documents and verified and sent them on time. And in September we got the best news we were praying and hoping to hear for the last 2 years, my mother’s Permanent Residency is approved!!! We are very grateful to God and thankful to Robert and his team! We highly recommend Milla and Associates!!!

Naturalization Application

Immigrants' path to citizenship is often stressfull, unknown and at times frightening. Robert and his team have helped us throughout the years with the many steps we had to undertake. Their professionalism and expertise derived from the years of experience, were well displayed in every interaction we... had with the office. Undoubtedly, we enjoyed our history with the firm, and wholeheartedly recommend their services to any new Immigrant!!!

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.
