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.

Top-notch Immigration Services

David Ware and Kathleen Gasparian are absolutely top-notch Immigration lawyers. My wife and I hired their services for several immigration applications - work visa, green-card, and U.S. naturalization. The legal services provided were nothing short of outstanding, including their reasonable fees. ...All our applications were successful and were concluded quickly, without a glitch. Having our Immigration processes through the Ware|Gasparian firm was one of the wisest investments we made since moving to the United States. Highly, very highly recommended!!

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.

Outstanding!

David Ware and Associates (DWA) is a legal firm that is the hallmark of professionalism and excellence in every ramification in the legal field. My employment-based Green Card application process (including my wife and daughter) lasted only 7 months without a single error or delay. As you know, the g...reen card process is fraught with many levels of uncertainty, and exceptional care is required at each stage in the process. The attorneys take their time to listen attentively, and proffer explanations that are factual to the issue. As a client, I felt their care and concern for me from these responses. This review touches on 4 key aspects of DWA’s professionalism: (1) Meticulosity: This lawyer and his team carryout several rounds of detailed analyses and checks on every form that is to be submitted to USCIS. Clearly, with this level of attention to detail, the process ended up not only error-free, but also heartache-free. (2) Responsiveness: Throughout this process, the paralegals (very professional) were always on-hand to respond to any queries, doubts, or questions. In fact, it is not just about the spontaneity of their response, it is also the correctness of their answers. This is because they speak with the relevant attorney to get the correct information or answer to any question. They respond promptly either by email or by phone – there is nothing that beats an immediate response/answer when you need one! In addition, everyone at DWA, from the receptionist to Attorney Ware himself, is very personable, and easy to work. (3) Use of Technology: This firm uses computer software that is very easy to use – anyone with or without computer skills can use their software. This allows the client to complete the required forms online for the attorney to review. It is a real-time process! In the end, you will receive a complete copy of all documents filed with USCIS for your records. (4) Inexpensive: I know, by now you will be thinking that this is going to be one really expensive legal firm. On the contrary, for their professionalism and excellence in service, they are also surprisingly affordable. The firm allows what I call a stress-free payment plan that makes the whole process appear free at the end. They accept credit cards, debit cards, checks, cash, etc. Seriously, this firm reinforced my belief that the best things in life do not necessarily come at astronomical prices. The bottom line is that this is a top legal firm, and I am very happy and pleased to have used their services for my immigration requirements. I enthusiastically recommend them!

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.
