exteremely bad experience

I hired a lawyer from this firm, each time I asked a question they charged me and took months to do my job, literally months. They do not care about your request they just get the money and disappear for long time. The attorney did not have basic knowledge on my case, and they lost several paralegals.... The paralegals just come and go since the attorney i worked with was terrible.

Very pleased

Mr Ware, offered me guidance and answered my questions very precisely, in timely manner (even on the WE). To me that's primordial, i will definitely hire him and recommend him to anybody.

Professional and Courteous

Over the years (H1, Green Card, Naturalization), I have been lucky to have David Ware (and other attorneys on his team including Kathleen Gasparian, Elaine Kimbrell, Samantha Hechtman and paralegals Julie Herzog and Yolanda Fortuné) guide me every step of the immigration process. I always felt that I... was receiving the best advice at the right time, with the right level of communication, follow-up, and support as needed throughout the process. All that with a human touch. I would recommend David Ware and his firm to anyone seeking help with their immigration journey.

Be Assured, You Are in Great Hands!

I am an educator at the university level, a tenure track professor. I came in contact with this firm because my employer does business with them. And I am so glad that I did. They quite competently handled both my H1B and LPR throughout, with a successful result. The firm has an amazing team of atto...rneys, including Mr. Ware of course: immensely professional and knowledgeable, very responsive, and yet so easy to work with. I had to work with two paralegals, Ms. Herzog and Mr. Sui, both of whom were/are as much professionally competent and amiable. I have had some really good attorneys before. Here is why this firm is even better. a) They allow you to pay their fees stretching over a reasonable amount of time frame, in monthly installments, so you do not feel overly burdened. Plus, I also found that their fees are reasonable given the quality service they provide. b) No document goes to USCIS before multiple attorneys review it. Oversights and mistakes can happen even on a genius lawyer’s part. That risk gets reduced with multiple minds. I won't have to think even for a millisecond to recommend someone, who comes to my contact, to their office for legal help.

Permanent Residency

I had excellent experience with Ware immigration, processing my green card petition. Mr. Ware and the team is absolutely terrific. They all take your application like their own and give very clear instructions. Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Julie are awesome paralegals. They communicate very professionally and ...help you very friendly. They know very well how to deal if anything comes up in the process. Also, they make you relax and will take your stress out of your way. Yes. It is a long and stressful process, but Ware immigration knows how to do everything for you. All in all, I highly recommend ware immigration to my family and friends. They are the best of the bests and you will get awesome service. good luck!!
