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 service and help throughout the process

Paul and his staff were excellent. Everything was very smooth. He explained everything thoroughly and let me know the lengthy timeline to expect...so I was extremely happy when my application was completed within 6 months! I am now a US Citizen! Even if your application and case is straightforward l...ike mine, I still highly recommend hiring an attorney to take care of everything as you can get instant accurate answers to questions or concerns along the way to put your mind at ease as well as know what to anticipate ahead of time and feel fully prepared. Thank you Paul and assistant Norma!

I recommend this firm

I highly recommend Law Office of Paul Parsons. Bernadette De La Cruz handled our case and we are more than please with all the work she did. After being dropped 11 years later from a previous lawyer who did nothing, we felt hopeless. We walked into Bernadette’s office and she gave us hope. Never was... she negative, she worked hard for us. Never did we think that my husband would ever receive his green card. This past April that dream came true for my family after a couple of years of starting with a new lawyer. My husband is now a resident of the United States. No more fears!! Thanks to Paul Parson and his team, especially Bernadette. We will forever be thankful for handling our case.

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.

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.
