Comprehensive and reliable!

I got to know Howard thru a friend’s referral. Howard has strong expertise and years of experience in both immigration law and family law which suits my case perfectly. He was responsive and was very thorough with my questions, key steps, strategic planning, and potential obstacles/risks, etc. Howard... is sensitive, professional, confident, and extremely helpful. Also, his hourly rate is very reasonable given the services he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a strong and trustworthy attorney.

An Excellent Attorney!

Howard is an excellent and incredibly effective attorney. I first met him when he was the company attorney for the IT company I was working for in the early 2000's. He help me apply for my H1B visa and even after leaving the company, I sought him out to apply for my greencard and eventually my citize...nship. During that process, I was very pleased with how responsive he was to my questions, whether by email or by phone. When I had a case for another family member, I did not give a second thought as to who I was going to consult. Howard has continued to be very responsive to my questions, following up on any issues I may have. I sincerely appreciate all the help and professionalism that Howard has shown me. I would gladly recommend attorney Howard for his service with no doubt. Thanks for all the help you have given me through the years and God bless.

I highly recommend!

Howard assisted me several different times; first with my DACA case and then with my residency, and both times he was very professional and attentive. He always kept in contact with me and answered every question I had...and I had a lot! He is always very honest, patient, and kind. This is why I high...ly recommend Howard to anyone. I feel extremely lucky to have found such an excellent lawyer that I could trust and count on throughout the whole process.

Family Lawyer

Our family has used Howard for a long time. First time Howard prepared my dad's will before he passed. Then he prepared mine and my husband's will. Updated when my son became an adult. He also prepared my mom's will and helped me execute her will when she passed. He advised my son in regards to ...applying for a fiancée visa for his fiancée to come to the US. I recommended Howard to other friends and they appreciated his help.

Knows his business

My husband and I met with Howard regarding my husband's citizenship into the United States.He was very knowledgeable and very up front about what would happen and what could happen,And how long it would take. He has always returned phone calls even while he was on vacation with his family. I don't kn...ow any other attorney that has done that.His prices are very reasonable for what all he does and the time he spends on your case.Very honest and down to earth.Easy to approach and discuss personal life with. He won't candy coat the legal system but makes it understandable. I can promise he wont take the money and leave you wondering he keeps you informed and can feel free to call him at anytime for any questions.
