Scott D. Pollock

Scott Pollock brought hope and happiness back to our lives. No exaggeration here. They get positive outcomes for the most difficult issues in immigration law. Scott Pollack and Associates are immigration law masterminds. If you are up against impossible odds this firm will defy the odds. We initiall...y applied for AOS with another attorney and we received a NOID due to a very difficult issue. We knew that a response to this would take an experienced, competent group of attorneys. Initially we worked with Anne Relias who, after hearing and studying our case, she was very knowledgeable about what we needed to help prove our case. Her brief was well composed and we all thought was strong enough to overcome this NOID, but subsequently was also denied. At that moment there was so much going on in our lives but Scott Pollack, Anne Relias and their team had so much faith in our case that they continued to work as determined as ever. They proceeded with the lawsuit and throughout the whole time they were very clear, confident and kept us frequently updated. Me and my wife faced one of the most difficult and rare type of cases in immigration law and the whole process was painful and long, but the outcome was positive and the first in the country we've ever heard to have a good outcome. It's very hard to find attorneys who not only ever had experience with cases like that but that also had a good outcome. Not only competence but Scott Pollack showed compassion and tremendous effort and hard work to make our case continue through all the process and get our petition approved.

I had my first consultation with Mr. Pollock a couple of years ago after meeting with other immigration lawyers both in Illinois and in California (where I currently live). Mr. Pollock was the first lawyer who was honest about the intricacies and inherent difficulties of my case. In his explanations ...he demonstrated a keen understanding of immigration law and a realistic perspective of the ramifications that my case could potentially have. My wife and I decided to move forward in hiring Mr. Pollock. After we hired him, we both were utterly impressed with his professionalism and that of his legal assistant (Ms. Markasovic). Both of them made the processes of filling out the different immigration forms and gathering all the supporting documentation very easy. At every point of this journey both of them were available and they addressed all of our questions promptly and courteously. Also their attention to detail was very helpful because many of these forms could be very overwhelming to fill out. If anyone is interested in finding a good lawyer I would encourage this person to look carefully at Mr. Pollock's work and gather a perspective of his career as he has a breadth of experience and a sincere desire to help the immigrant community. An anecdote will demonstrate what I am referring to. Prior to my interview with USCIS I asked Mr. Pollock why he decided to practice immigration instead of a type of law where there is more money. He explained to me that he decided to do this kind of law after seeing all the human rights violations in countries like Guatemala as well as the human toll that immigrant communities have experienced because of the broken immigration system. Mr. Pollock's answer confirmed to me that I not only hired a good lawyer but one who had a humane perspective of the plight of the immigrants who try to make it through this maze that is our current immigration system. Overall I felt very happy to have Mr. Pollock as counsel and I definitely recommend him.

I am very very grateful to Scott, Linda and to his Law Firm for all the time and assistance they gave me during this process of immigration and naturalization. First, by applying and acquiring my R-1 Visa, my Permanent Residence and then, my Naturalization as a citizen of the United States. I felt ve...ry confident all along thanks to their professional work, for being present with me in paper and in person at every moment. The Interview day for my Naturalization and the day of the Oath Ceremony will always be very memorable to me. A special ‘Thank You’ to Scott for coming to the Interview and for being there with me during my test with the USCIS official, a very crucial moment. It was a day full of emotions, nervousness, but I made it. Becoming a US citizen for me is and will always be a very significant event in my life, not only for myself and those who depend on me, but especially because of the up-coming federal elections of this year. I feel deeply obliged to vote and I will do it conscientiously. I honestly do not find sufficient words to thank both of you enough for all the hard work, always very professional, on time, patient and effective. I simply cannot think of any other attorney better than Scott D. Pollock and Associates. From the bottom of my heart! May God bless you always!

Scott and his team helped me through the years, first with obtaining my H1-B, then with obtaining my Green Card successfully. He and his staff were always responsive and professional. They were even flexible enough to do meetings via Skype when I was living overseas for a few years. I always felt tha...t I was in good hands. I could not have done it without their help!

Mr. Pollock assisted my immigrant partner (now spouse) for 15-plus years through complex processes of obtaining his H-1 Visa, Employment Certification, and permanent residency-- overseeing a successful outcome to our marriage petition and my husband's Green Card in 2015. Along the way, we took his A...djustment Petition as far as the BIA. Mr. Pollock's arguments were well-reasoned and clear based on the law, and he explained everything thoroughly and clearly to us. He and legal assistant Maria Hernandez are eminently qualified, thorough and understanding.
