Posted by Yuri | August 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Outstanding job!

James is an excellent lawyer. He successfully pulled me and my family through sx year long immigration process, with H1b, its extension, couple of Requests for Evidence, and eventual permanent residence. He made stressful immigration process an easy ride. I would highly recommend James to anyone loo...king for an outstanding and highly competent lawyer. He is the best lawyer you could get.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
