very helpful experience

I had a very effective experience with Mr. Kimura. I explained my situation to him, and although it was a rare case, he asked about all required information regarding my case and at the end provided me very productive advises.

Great services

Gen is very professional, and I highly recommend him. We have been using his services for almost 5 years. I met Gen through my brother's referral. Gen helped my employees and my relatives to get H1Bs and permanent residency. Gen's knowledge of the immigration system was amazing. He clearly explaine...d to us the potential obstacles and pitfalls of the immigration process. He is very compassionate for your case.

EB2-NIW

Spoke to Mr. Gen Kimura and after talking to number of other attorney it seems like Mr. Gen cares about me. He gave me 10 minutes and after that I may not be suitable candidates for NIW. Thank you for your time, once I have more publication and citation you will be my go to place. Thanks

L1A case approved within 15 days without RFE

We hired Mr. Kimura to help my company file an L1A petition (premium processing) and it was approved within 15 days without RFE. We were very impressed by his knowledge, honesty and customer focused services. In the past, we have worked with some big law firms in town and some medium sized firms, and... our cases were denied a numerous times. Working with Mr. Kimura was a great experience, he is very hands-on. He reviewed the documents himself and always kept us informed. I strongly recommed Mr. Kimura.

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.
