Excellent Attorney / Above and Beyond / Best of the best.

Lance Curtright is the best immigration lawyer I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in easily understandable terms and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. The odds against me were really huge and a very powerful legal thre...at to me. I didn't trust any lawyer to take my case but him. He was very straightforward and told me what to expect every step of the way, and at the end of the day he had the case successfully approved. I really appreciate everything he has done for me. I would highly recommend him to everyone! I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. He is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. So, if anyone is looking for a competent immigration attorney at a great price, head over to Lance Curtright. He is absolutely fantastic and did a great job.

A life saver attorney

I thought my life was lost until I found Lance. I had a very complicated immigration case which I thought it couldn't be resolved. Lance demonstrated deep knowledge of the law and the different venues that could be taken. He really surprised me with his expertise and thanks to him and his team I rece...ived my citizenship. I couldn't have made it without Lance and his team. I will be eternally grateful to them.

Incredible!

My N-400 Naturalisation case was stuck at USCIS. I have done everything; multiple Infopass appointments, Letter to Senator, you name it, none of those works. Then, another attorney referred me to Mr. Curtright and during our conversation, he laid out the strategy on how he will handle the case. My ca...se was adjudicated about a month and a half after our initial conversation. He also has an excellent legal assistant who always gives updates about the case.

Excellent attorney, alone, is insufficient to describe the wonderful work Mr. Curtright does for his clients

My wife's I-485 application was on hold for over 12 years due to TRIG (Terrorist Inadmissibility Grounds) provision 212(a)(3)(B). This is a new challenge for asylum seekers that has been aroused after the September Eleventh tragedy. I spoke to many attorneys about our ordeal only to see them scra...tching their heads in lack of knowledge about this new challenge. Because of my extensive research about this problem, I was by far much more knowledgeable than many immigration attorneys out there. It was until I heard about Lance Curtright and his Law Firm. I learnt that there has been at least one case " Amrollah " that was successfully litigated by him. I immediately contacted and hired him to help us tackle this horrible nightmare that had been consuming us for 12 years. It took him only six months to resolve this case and get my wife's Green Card. An excellent attorney is an understatement, he is a magician when it comes to immigration issues. How many stars do I give him out of five? I give him seven! Thank you, Lance, for helping us putting this ordeal behind.
