Immigration Papers - From Visa Fiance to US Citizenship - 8 years

Paul and her assistant, Norma, handled my DHS situation since my arrival in US. All papers were done in a expedited way. Paul and Norma provided me ample information about the process, the length of each step. I was happy to see them at citizenship ceremony. I do recommend them to any forms and forma...lities with Homeland Security. They are very professional, knowledgeable and make all these processes simple.

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!!!!

Excellent immigration lawyer

I was very pleased with the representation provided by Mr. Parsons. He helped me with the process to obtain and renew my H1 visa, as well as my permanent residence. He was very patient and explained each step through this long journey. He always promptly responded to any inquiries by email or phone. ...I am very grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone seeking help with immigration procedures.

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.
