Approved Adjustment of Status

I couldn't have picked a better Immigration Lawyer to help me get approved for adjustment of Status. The long wait is over and I'm so thankful for taking good care of immigration requirements. Very professional and staff support is topnotch.

Dear Attorney Dean and team, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for your excellent guidance and assistance throughout my journey of obtaining permanent residency in the United States. Your team has been incredibly professional, friendly, and dedicated, and I couldn't have done it witho...ut you. From guiding me through every step of the process to ensuring all of my documents were accurate and submitted correctly, you have been with me every step of the way. Your timely and effective communication was instrumental in making this process smooth and successful, and I am grateful for your prompt responses to all of my questions. Thanks to your hard work and expertise, I am now able to live my American dream. I am extremely grateful for all that you have done and I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking to obtain permanent residency in the United States. Thank you once again for everything.

H1B Application

Forever grateful to Atty. Dean because he turned my American dream into reality. He was able to give me an employer that will sponsor my H1B. The process went smooth and this is also by the help of his accommodating team. Thank you, Atty. Dean!

Legit, Hassle free and very efficient team

We started my husband’s EB3 application in the philippines. We’re all now in the US. (With 3 kids) Attorney Dean and his team were really helpful, accommodating and very knowledgeable in this field. They guide us step by step and gave thorough explanation of what to do and what will happen in the pro...cess. My husband’s PERM was already approved this november and now processing I-140 and soon the I-485, EAD And AP. They also processed my F1 student visa and was approved this november as well. We just can’t thank them enough for the top notch service. We’re beyond grateful for their hardwork and always making sure we’re on the right track. It is really worth the wait. Thank you very much Attorney Dean and Team. God Bless you more!

Fast immigration process and Friendly staff

My husband and I would like to thank Atty.Dean, Ms. LJ, and all the staffs who assisted us from step 1 up to the approval of my green card. Your office is very friendly, supportive and guided us all throughout the application process. Thank you for quick responses and clear explanations for each ques...tions that we asked. They make sure that we’re guided accordingly and keep us updated with the progress of my application. And because of that, I got my Green card in just few months. Again thank you very much. May you help more people with their American dream. God bless.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
