Incredible legal service.

Mr Parson and his team are the absolute best at what they do. I had a very complicated immigration issue that I needed help with. I have consulted three different lawyers who were not optimistic at my prospect of winning the case. When I met with Mr. Paul Parson, he was very nice and accommodating. H...e took his time to review my case and asked all the necessary questions which I answered frankly. He said to me, " Ebrima, we will win". Those words were very comforting and my mind was at peace. He introduced me to his legal assistant Ms. Norma, who was also very accommodating, nice and respectful. My case was filed to USCIS and I was informed of every step of the process. Ideally, I was supposed to meet an immigration officer for an interview as part of my case petition. Mr Parson and his team however, did an incredible job filing my documents and my green card got approved without having to go through a dreadful immigration interview. I'm very grateful for the incredible Work that Paul and his team did for me. I highly recommend their service. They are very professional and gives hope to the hopeless no matter how complicated your case maybe. I shall be working with this team again when the time comes for my naturalization as US Citizen. Mr. Paul Parson and team are the BEST!!!!

Amazing lawyer

Paul is an excellent lawyer. I worked with him for several years, first changing from a J1 visa to an H-1B, then renewing it, and finally applying for (and successfully getting) a green card. He works very diligently and always had me updated every step of the way, even responding to emails over the ...weekend. In addition, despite encountering unusual challenges along the way, Paul and his team were always able to overcome them and his predictions for each process timeline were spot on. If you're looking for a competent immigration lawyer, I highly recommend Mr. Parsons.

Mr. Parsons saved us from an incompetent officer during our interview!!!

Mr. Paul Parsons is the most knowledgable, professional and efficient attorney in Austin. He worked on my H1B work visa for years and when I got married, he and his staff managed my case. When my husband and I went to San Antonio for our interview to get my Green Card, the officer there simply said t...hat he would have TO DENY IT due to us leaving the country while the change of status was in process. So, we called Mr. Parsons who, Thank God, was more knowledgable of the law than the officer himself, and he asked the officer to check with his supervisors before denying the residency card. Mr. Parsons even told the officer the name of his supervisors and within minutes, the officer that once had been so eager to deny my Green card, came back saying that my attorney Mr. Parsons seemed to be right, and he proceeded to approve the Residency Card immediately. Needless to say, it was so stressful for us and had it not been for Mr. Parsons the outcome would have been a sad one rather than the happy one we had. I fervently recommend him to inform you and manage your immigration case with the upmost care and efficacy. I know he saved ours.

Review for Dr. Paul Parsons

I had the great pleasure of being advised by Dr. Paul Parsons during my Green Card Application Process. Dr. Parsons was really supportive during the entire application, and took the time to personally contact the Immigration Office over the phone to speed up our Case Approval. I was completely satisf...ied by the professionalism of Dr. Parsons. He always replied quickly and candidly to the questions that my Wife and I had during our Case Evaluation. I remember Dr. Parsons emailing us on weekends and holidays with thoughtful explanations and updates. I can certify that he provides a world-class support for Immigration Cases. He pays careful attention to details and patiently clarifies the long-term issues affecting immigrants who decide to live, study and work in the US.

  • 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.
