Very helpful

I have just gotten U.S. citizenship. Thanks to Paul Parsons and his office manager, Norma Sandoval, my citizenship application went very smoothly, and it took less time than I expected. In every step along the way they helped me with the instructions. The work was very professional and friendly. A...pplying for citizenship can be a daunting task, but they made it easy. I highly recommend Paul Parsons.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Paul Parsons handled my employment-based green card application from start to finish, including the PERM application and the I-485 petition. He and his team were extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient the whole way through. We were ultimately successful with very few issues, and I attribute... that to the fact that we had a thorough case submitted, which we would not have been able to do on our own without Paul's help. I highly recommend using Paul's services if you are looking for a top-notch immigration attorney.

Naturalization process

I worked with Paul Parsons and his team for four years and trusted them from the beginning. I had three cases (temporary green card, permanent green card, and naturalization) and all were professionally managed, well organized and the team made it less stressful for me. Obviously, I highly recommend ...Paul Parsons and his team for your immigration concerns.

Highly recommended for your immigration needs.

We read the reviews online and decided to consult Mr. Parsons for filing Permanent Resident (Category: EB - employment based Green Card). We were working very closely with Ms. Susan Dixon from his team. This is a team that listens to you, makes you aware of all current situations/ possibilities ...and provide with all your options and timelines. They were very helpful and prompt in responding our queries at lightning speed, clarifying all the questions we had (even though we had lot of basic and silly ones!), kept us well informed on the progress regularly (not once did we have to ask for updates on the progress) and most of all, helped us save money on medicals by filing the application on a quick turnaround so that the medicals didn't expire. The interview was also very well planned with a representative attorney in San Antonio to accompany us to the consulate.

Dr.

Paul Parsons and his office staff helped us obtain a residence card (green card) for my son-in-law. My daughter and her husband were married this year (2018) in Austin. His assistant Susan Dixon helped us every step of the way with obtaining all the documents that were needed and answering all of o...ur questions. This was our first time going through this process and we had lots of questions! Every time we called their office, they reassured us that we were following all the important steps. We visited with Susan several times in her office during the application process. My son-in-law's interview with the immigration official in San Antonio was last week and it went very smoothly. My daughter and her husband were well prepared by Mr. Parson's office and had all that was needed and knew what to expect. Mr. Parsons also sent a San Antonio lawyer to be with them during the interview. She was very helpful in reassuring them about the interview and answering any questions. Today, his green card came in the mail. We are very happy that they can now build their life together in the United States.

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.
