Fast, easy & precise

My spouse was seeking a green card, and Metin made the process painless. We cannot imagine being more satisfied than we were using metin Serbest's expertise and services. The paperwork required by the government was, at times, difficult to complete. Our emails and phone calls to Metin were answered ...quickly, and the completion of the forms turned out to be relatively simple. Metin is a very personable individual, and we really enjoyed working with him. If we need legal services in the future, we will most certainly seek his legal help.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I was currently having immigration issues regarding a Visa problem. Therefore I hired a lawyer to help me with my case. Almost an entire year passed by without my lawyer helping me at all. That is when I decided to consult with Attorney Metin Serbest. He immediately began working on my case and resol...ved my issue within a month of starting my case. I had even consulted several Congressmen who were not able to reach immigration regarding my case, but Mr. Serbest clearly knew what he was up against and helped my case reach its goal. He is an excellent attorney, and I recommend anyone with immigration problems to consult with Metin Serbest.

The best Attorney

I would like to share my experience with emigration attorney Mr. Metin Serbest. For many years me and my family had a hard time to be legalized in US. I spent over $ 10,000 for two different attorneys but no result. Then I call US senator"s office, two congressmen who sent out a letter to emigration ...requesting to grant a work permit and a U visa to stay and work in US. The problem was my daughter's case which keep being denied or ignored. Finally a friend of mine told me don't waste your money and gave me MR. Metin Serbest' office number and told me a couple of things about him. My friend told me he knows several people who were on deportation and the last moment this attorney saved them from being deported and got them a visa or refugee status. He wrote a letter to emigration and made some phone and after 7 weeks my daughter received a 4 years visa after which she will be qualified to receive a green card. Now things you need to know about this attorney. 1) he would never rip you off 2) gets the job done no matter what your situation is 3) very knowledgeable, well known and got connections 4) very honest and kind person. trust me! Don't waste your money on other crooked lawyers, this is the only guy in Illinois that can get your emigration problem resolved!
