Adjustment of Status

Stuart is very good at what he does and very knowledgeable. Everything he did was done in a timely manner and was on top of everything. Gave me very in depth instructions of what I needed to do and bring in to the office. Does not set unrealistic expectations. Would definately recommend for any ty...pe of Immigration legal matter.

Green Card Through Marriage

For those who want to know, I was inspected at JFK Airport in New York City 20 years ago. When I finally decided to apply for my green card, I knew I needed the help of a lawyer because immigration laws and paper filings can be a daunting and stressful experience for most of us. I initially consul...ted with a couple of lawyers who had been practising for over 15 years, but they were hesitant and reluctant about taking my case. Desperate, I went to ailawyer.org and picked Mr. Gilgannon out of a huge list solely based on satisfactory Avvo Reviews that quite a few people were willing to write. During our free consultation, Mr. Gilgannon was understanding, straightforward, willing and ready to handle my case above all. With good organization skills, he laid out clear steps to help us confidently navigate through the nerve-racking immigration maze. Thank you again, Mr. Gilgannon for doing such a wonderful job!! For anybody out there looking for a reliable, honest, hard-working and trustworthy lawyer, do yourself a favor and hire Mr. Stuart Gilgannon. You will not regret it!

Wonderful Attorney

My wife (American citizen) and I (German citizen) contacted Attorney Stuart Gilgannon when I decided to immigrate to America from Germany. We could not be happier with the work he's done and help he's given to us. In fact, we are sure we could not have gotten through the immigration process without... his guidance. From the first, we knew we were in good hands with Stuart. He clearly has a strong grasp on Immigration law which made us feel secure in the process. He gave sound and realistic advice to us every step of the way. But he also has something special: an innate compassion for the fears and confusion the process brings to those going through it. He was always patient with our questions and worries, and we always felt understood by him, all of which means so much! My wife and I are now in America and I have my Green Card. We couldn't be happier. Stuart gets our sincerest thanks for helping make our dream a reality. We would not hesitate to recommend Stuart to anyone going through the immigration process. He's a great attorney and a very nice person.

Thanks to a great attorney

With a sure hand Mr. Gilgannon guided my same-sex partner and me through the "mine field" of immigration law. I suppose most other immigration lawyers could have done the same, but it's Mr. Gilgannon's attitude that impresses: professional but friendly, outgoing, and always there when it a questions ...arises or when reassurance is needed. We owe the resolution of our situation to him.

The best and most stress free immigration experience

Stuart is not only a great lawyer but he also took care and time to get to know my needs as a client and met them perfectly. I've used Stuarts services twice and both were a great success. He made every step of the immigration process as easy as possible and understandable for me. Stuart was availabl...e whenever I needed him and made the whole experience enjoyable and as stress free as possible. I would recommend his service to anybody, and have. Everyone I know who has used Stuart has been very happy with everything he does.

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.
