Excellent immigration services

We have worked with Mr. Ware on a relatively unusual immigration scenario (an O-1 visa for a scientist who is not eligible for a greencard). From the beginning, Mr. Ware and his associates have been responsive, realistic, and competent. The up-front fee was considerably more reasonable than those quo...ted by other firms. Mr. Ware himself answered all e-mails addressed to him, even though the case was handled by a more junior (albeit no less competent) member of the firm. Best of all, our story does have a happy ending: the petition was approved within a couple of weeks of submission. We fully intend to use their services again for visa renewal.

Very effective and professional service

A company that wanted to hire me on an H1B work permit retained Ware Gasparain for this purpose. From the outset every member of the team was very understanding of my needs and the companies, phone calls were always returned promptly and the quality of the paperwork that was submitted to USCIS was... beyond reproach. This was evidenced in the work permit petition being approved within 4 days of submission. Having gone through this process a number of times before And dealt with a number of immigration attorneys before and I can honestly say that none have managed the process as professionally and efficiently as the team at Ware Gasparain. I would have no hesitation in recommending their service for any immigration purposes.

Impressive

Spectacular lawyer and law firm. Extremely knowledgeable. (A leading lawyer/expert on employment based green cards -- especially for academics.) His law firm processed my case very efficiently but with care and attention to detail. They responded promptly and with great expertise to all my qu...estions or any situation that arose. Excellent work. They helped me obtain my green card in under 10 months (starting with labour certification). Also very affordable. I strongly recommend Mr. Ware and his law firm.

Knowledgeable Legal Services

We have been seeking legal advice and immigration services from David Ware & Associates for over eight years and the experience has been wonderful. They are prompt, courteous and importantly, knowledgeable about immigration laws and the changing scenes. The attorneys shared information on legal servi...ces and promptly responded to my emails. With one or two exceptions, they quickly verified, approved and submitted the petitions. They were very professional conducting the business and I strongly recommend their services to my peers.

Quick turnaround, professional and very thorough

I've been consulting with David Ware & Associates for over 6 years now. They've advised me back when I was a student and they've handled all 3 of my H-1B applications. My sister has used their services for 2 H-1B applications. The entire team is very knowledgeable and I have nothing but great things ...to say about Kathleen, Elaine, and Julie. On my last H-1B application, timing was critical and they managed to pull it off in record time! I've never needed to work with another immigration lawyer because David Ware & Associates has never disappointed. They've always delivered and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Avvo Rating

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.
