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!!

Most Knowledgeable Immigration Attorney

Mr. Ware was my attorney for all my green card processes from my first HIB until I got my green card this March. He is extremely competent. I did everything he suggested within the timelines he outlined and the results were as I hoped for. As a native from Ghana, I knew next to nothing about the imm...igration process but he walked me and the university I work for through this process. There were some nervous moments for me because of the nature of my case but he was so honest and realistic and I have nothing but praise for him. I must also mention that Mr Ware surrounds himself with a solid team: Kathleen Gasparian, Julie Herzog, Marisol Hernandez etc. When I first met Marisol, we were chatting away so easily I forgot why I was there in the first place..she is just so friendly...along with every paralegal and attorney I dealt with. I will definitely be using them for the final step to become a citizen.

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.

Knowledgable, Ethical, Excellent

After having bad experience with another attorney, I was advised to seek Mr Ware’s advice; from the first time a met him it was obvious to me he was very knowledgeable, direct and clear. He explained to me what options I had for a visa extension and labor certification process. He explained the pos...sible issues and complications and recommended a path forward. He prepared a very complete and thorough package and did not cut any corners which help the applications get through without any issues. Don’t fall victim of unscrupulous or incompetent attorneys, if you want somebody you can trust will do the right thing and do it right you should consider him and his staff.

Very trustworthy and knowledgable!

Mr. Ware assisted me and my husband in getting our Green Cards and I'd highly recommend him. He was very knowledgable of the process and clear on what was required from us, the company sponsoring me and his firm. He's also straight forward in regards to the cost and we didn't end pay up paying a dime... more than he said we would. I've had friends dealing with immigration lawyers charging their clients for every phone call, email etc in which case they've ended up paying much more than they first expected. I personally prefer the fixed cost and no add ons! I think the paralegals dealing with our case could occasionally have been a little more responsive/clearer as to some of the questions we (myself and my company) had during the process. But, all in all, we're very satisfied. We received our green cards in 18 months. We've also used Mr. Ware for our H1Bs and never had any issues.

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.
