The Best

We urgently required a professional lawyer to help us with our investor visas as they are all expiring. We are grateful to have found Mr. Petty; with his knowledge and wisdom of this area, he negotiated our investor visas with excellent results. Mr Petty made changes to our subsidiary in Florida and ...reapplied the visas for us. Each one of us is thankful for his amazing pull off as we approached him in the eleventh hour and yet he managed to secure the interviews fast. At the embassy appointment, our visas got approved. Thank you Mr Petty for going the extra mile and burning midnight oil just to help us with this matter. Highly Recommended lawyer, professional and sincere with helping us; he took time to explain and answer all our questions. Thank you again!

He is the Best

He is the best. I highly recommend this attorney for help with any immigration case. I hired Mr. Petty to help with my husband's deportation case, and he won the case. I'm so grateful to him! He was very nice, very professional in his manners and very competent. He charged a reasonable amount o...f money for the case, about the same amount that three other lawyers wanted to charge me, After the trial the judge told Mr. Petty that he did a terrific job with the case. The judge admired his arguments. Mr. Petty argued with the government attorney, and the judge agreed with Mr. Petty on each point. After the trial was over and my husband was released, we hired him to help my brother in law immigrate from the Philippines. He gave us a discount in his price because we were returning clients. Again, he did a great job. He guided us through each step in the process, and the whole thing went very smoothly. His green card was approved, and it arrived earlier than we were told. I highly recommend Mr. Petty to everyone who needs immigration help.

Todo el personal es muy amable y servicial

Conocí al Sr. Petty hace 8 años, cuando ayudó a mi mamá y papá a obtener la residencia. Él me dijo, en su momento, que yo no era elegible. Fui con otro abogado que me cobro muy caro y al final me dijo que tenía que esperar hasta que se produjera un cambio en la ley. Pagué miles de dólares para oír lo... que el Sr. Petty ya me había dicho de forma gratuita. Hace cuatro años me robaron a mano armada en una gasolinera. El hombre me apuntó con una pistola y se llevó mi bolso y teléfono celular. Me acordé que el Sr. Petty dice en su programa de radio que las víctimas de delito pueden conseguir permisos de trabajo y tarjetas de residencia. Hablé con el Sr. Petty y él tomó mi caso y me dieron un permiso de trabajo por seis meses y el año pasado me dieron mi tarjeta de residencia. Todo el personal en su oficina es muy amable y servicial. Me gusta que el personal siempre me devuelve las llamadas y siempre puedo hablar con el Sr. Petty sin cobro adicional. Él tiene una excelente reputación por decir la verdad y luchar por sus clientes. Él no es un abogado que cobra y no da resultados, como otros abogados. Lo he recomendado con más de veinte personas y todos ellos han quedado satisfechos con su servicio. Recomiendo al Sr. Petty a todos los que necesiten ayuda con cuestiones de inmigración. Voy a requerir de sus servicios para tramitar mi ciudadanía cuando sea el momento.

Thank you

mr.petty I forgot to say thank you for today. I didn't think the prosecutor was going to stop picking at me. you objected like 9 times until he gave up. thank you for everything you did for me in court today. it was by the grace of God and your hard work that the judge approved my waiver. you fought... hard and convinced the judge. my wife and daughter cried when we got in the car to go home. I am so thankful that I met you and I still have a home to go to. I am your friend forever. Martin

Thank you for supporting me and paying for me

Thank you for freeing me from my manipulative and controlling husband.I dont have any money and was afraid he was going to kill me when he was on a drunk. I heard Mr. Petty helps people even if they dont have money. Mr. Petty and his wife freed me from my husband and paid for my ticket to California... and for my motel. I've been free of my tormentor for 2 months. Mrs. Petty went with me to the police and convinced the policeman to sign the papers letting me to get a U visa. It takes a year and I hope I will get the visa. Even if I don't I am grateful I have daca and for Mr. Petty and his wife. I have no money to pay them and I pray that God will bless them.
