Affordable and hit the target

Mr. Mark extremely knowledgable immigration lawyer at affordable price. What you need to know about him is he will not respond to you fast so does other lawyers unless they charge you ridiculuose amount for every minute they spent on your case. Have to mention it took me time and effort working with... him but what need to be considered is immigration is hot topics in USA and lawyers get overloaded and have luxury of selection and obviously use advantage. Mark on the other hand had spent counless hours with me face to face while was always struggle to reach him over phone or email and asked no extra payment. If you decide to work with Mark keep in mind your personal input should compensate affordable price. If looking for convenient pay and forget type of lawyer be ready to spend at least three times as much. My personal opinion the way he works keeps him affordable. My NIW case was success but would I listen to Mark at start it would take significantly less time to conclude my case.

Disapeared

I engaged Mr. Harington's services over a year ago and after the initial consultation and an e-mail with some instructions he simply disappeared. Does not answer phone, reply to e-mails. The only reason I believe he is still alive is because his mailbox, which is full and cannot accept new messages a...ll the time, gets emptied and accepts new messages on Mondays.

Unreliable and Dishonest

Really bad experience. Very deceptive. He is responsive initially, but after you pay the initial fees he disappears on you. Could not get a hold of him for months and he caused a delay in my filing process. No updates from him afterwards. Does not answer the phone and you can't find him in the office.... Very unprofessional, does not deserve a single star.

Excellent work all over a complex and lengthy NIW process

I worked with Mark on my NIW and he was of a great help, he doesn't let you deal with para-legals as other do, you will have direct communication with him everytime you need to. I understand some times it is difficult to get him over the phone from the first attempt as he will be with other customers... but often he calls or texts you back. I personally and honestly can say he was very efficient, knowledgeable and provided me with guidance all over my process. $ fee wise I found him by far the less costly option in the market on top of that you'll get a direct interaction with the lawyer himself. I recommend whoever looking for a good laywer for NIW to approach him asap. One last thing don't get afraid when he uses some strong language when sending out your petition or RFE as he knows what he is doing. Great job Mark and thank you for your fantastic effort and work.

Exceptional yet very affordable!

Hired Attorney Mark Harrington of the Harrington Law Firm for my I-485 case. His work was nothing less than exceptional. He worked diligently with me. I found him both knowledgeable and dependable. His professional legal fees were very reasonable and above all he is just a phone call away when you... need him. Most lawyers are difficult to access in the hour of need and often you are dealing with their paralegals and not the attorneys themselves. I would strongly recommend his services.
