He is the reason I am able to live my life fully as a mother

Roy Kevin Petty was and remains the reason I am able to live my life fully as a mother and a single one at that. My marriage was difficult and the details were painful. My parents brought me illegally to this country when I was a baby and left me with my aunt. I was arrested and ice took me and R...oy convinced the lieutenant to release me. Roy kept me grounded, focused and determined as a human being, which gave me the confidence boost I needed to move on. This confidence is why I am the best mother possible. I am thankful and grateful to him because my ex tried to have me deported. I am in a good place to parent my child, which never would have happened with another lawyer. He made the experience that much more human. I will always refer him to others.

Best attorney in my 20 years of dealing with US immigration

Roy is not just a great attorney with great results, but he is also a compassionate and caring human being. I had a complex "Writ of Mandamus" case and had talked to 5 other top-rated DFW area immigration attorneys. Other (top-rated) attorneys either didn't have enough knowledge of the law, or were c...hickened-out to take on a case against US DOS. Roy took on the challenge, treated me with utmost respect, spent as much time as needed during our face to face meetings and then kept me in the loop via emails. When I asked a question or had an update, he replied to me personally within a day or so. The whole experience of working with him was like working with an old friend... Thanks! Roy

I strongly recommend them as I was involved in an asylum case and they were brilliant. Special thanks to Roy Petty, who showed great consideration, decency, efficiency, intelligence, legal acuity and wisdom. Top marks all round.
