Posted by M.I | August 09, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Asylum

I granted my asylum case with the help of Mr. Mark Davidson.

I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism and guidance provided by Mr. Mark Davidson during my asylum case. From the very beginning, he was always responsive, addressing all my inquiries promptly and thoroughly. His attention to detail and accuracy in providing information were invaluable thro...ughout my journey. Mr. Davidson's dedication to my case was evident in the way he meticulously prepared and presented professional and precise evidence. He consistently encouraged me and ensured that I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Mr. Davidson for anyone in need of legal assistance. I am truly thankful for all his hard work and commitment to my case.

Simply put - the best

We reached out to Mark Davidson's office regarding our ongoing immigration case after working with two different immigration lawyers that seemed disinterested and unprofessional. I'm glad we kept looking for competent legal help and ultimately found it! Mark and his team are simply the best. We w...ere helped, properly guided and always felt valued. The communication was always clear and concise, we really felt that our lawyer cared and was doing a great job. Mark's team was awesome! We're definitely going to stay in touch for future immigration needs, and I would HIGHLY recommend Mark's services to anyone.

Awesome immigration lawyers

Used Davidson & Schiller for changing status to Conditional Resident, then Permanent Resident and eventually US Citizen. Since they are in downtown Chicago, their office was easily accessible. They helped me go through the process with ease and answered any questions I had. I did had some hiccups in ...my case (USCIS fault), however they kept on top of things to make sure the case won't get affected. They sometimes have latency in their replies, but eventually do get back to you. Other than that, you can't go wrong with them.

PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY LAWYER!

Awesome lawyer with awesome staff! I found him on this website when I needed a second opinion about my temporary Green Card (when my first so-called lawyer messed up my case and had me apply for a waiver that he did not even filled properly and to top it of I found from Mr. Mark Davidson I DID NOT ...NEED- that put my case on hold for 1 YEAR) . I fired my 1st lawyer and I hired Mr. Mark Davidson and in 3 WEEKS, thanks to Mark, I had my Green Card in my hand. Mr. Mark Davidson and all his staff were VERY PROFESSIONAL, ,patience,worth my TOTAL TRUST,easy to communicate and get in touch with,affordable rates and I could continue with the praise forever! That is the reason why I ask him to represent me again for my permanent Green Card last year and I will continue that this year when I'm going to apply for citizenship! My advise to anybody looking for an immigration lawyer: Do not make the same mistake that I did when I hired my first so-called lawyer :from the money point a view.I was told by my friends that lawyer form downtown are more expensive and they all do the same! NOT TRUE!!! My 1st layer ended up charging me much more than Mr. Davidson! I am going to be grateful all my life to Mr. Mark Davidson and all his staff :especially Mrs.Olga, Mrs. Yllca !
