Wonderful work!

We reached out to Mark Davidson for assistance with our immigration case, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. The team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and deep expertise in their field. The lawyers were always ready to answer any questions, significantly reducing our st...ress throughout the process. Mark handled our case with assistance from Ruslan. The preparation for the court was conducted at the highest level: every detail was meticulously thought through, allowing our case to be presented most effectively. Thanks to their efforts, we won the case, which was a huge relief and joy for our family. I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking competent and reliable legal support. Many thanks to the entire team for your hard work and support!

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.

Excellent Immigration Processing of my Petition for my Same Sex Spouse

As soon as the Supreme Court declared the Defense of Marriage Act to be Unconstitutional in 2013, I contacted Mark Davidson to request Residency for my spouse. Davidson and Schiller worked efficiently as a team to guide me through all the steps (the I-130, the Hardship Waiver I601, and finally, the ...Consulate Interview. This was a nerve wracking time for me and my spouse and I was so nervious when we went to Juarez to have the interview with the consulate. I was so worried that the Consular staff wouldn't like something in the paperwork that we had prepared and they would reject my petition and my husband wouldn't come home. As it turned out, Mark's team had followed all the steps in the process perfectly, they gave us a package of paperwork arranged exactly as the consular personnel wanted, and he received his visa within a week. I give Mark Davidson 5 stars and I have already recommended him to many of my friends, including my co-worker Tom Bloom, who brought his son Sam to Davidson where he successfully got his wife's green card. I can't say enough about how thoughtful, organized, and efficient, the services of Davidson and Schiller were and I will continue to recommend them to anybody who asks.

Thank you Mark!

The least I can do is to provide a fair review. My journey to the States was very easy thanks to Mark. He worked on my visa two years ago - it was approved within a month. In July 2016 Mark accepted to take my case for perm residency. Mark and his assistant Leigh, much obliged, have been more than he...lpful to me in a stressful time where a new administration has been taking over and the uncertainty for immigrants is growing. Mark, thank you very much. I have been recommending Mark to anyone seeking a phenomenal lawyer's advise and help.
