John Ting's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known John and worked with on several matters. He truly cares about each and every client and firmly believes in helping them to the best of his ability. He will not treat you like another file or number."
"When it comes to legal issues, the first thing a person should do is hire a lawyer. However, it's not enough to just hire a lawyer, you must hire the "right" lawyer. . Too often people mistakenly just hire a lawyer, or a friend that happens to be a lawyer. When hiring a lawyer, you MUST hire a lawyer that focuses on your legal issue. I recommend Mr. Ting to anyone needing an immigration lawyer. Mr. Ting is very detail orientated, knowledgeable, and meticulous. I have consultated with Mr. Ting for immigration issues for several my clients. I would recommend Mr. Ting to any clients or friends because Mr. Ting is the "right" lawyer."
"Years ago, I worked with John while he was a law clerk in the Supreme Court, Queens County (NY).
