Highly recommended immigration attorney

Mr. Paul Parsons is an excellent attorney, extremely professional, very knowledgeable, really cares about his clients and attaining a positive outcome for his clients. Me and my husband highly recommend Mr. Parsons for any immigration matter one can have. We used Mr. Parsons’s services to handle ...my immigration case for the Permanent Residency (Green Card) application, Removal conditions from the GC and obtaining US citizenship via naturalization. From the very first appointment, Mr. Parsons was very professional and helpful in navigating us. He conducted a very thorough interview to gather the necessary information from us, explained all of the forms, walked us through the application process and what we could expect, gave a detailed list of the documents and information that we needed to gather, and handled everything in a way that made the process understandable, as easy as possible for us, and in a manner that showed he truly cared about us and attaining the positive outcome we sought. Throughout the process, Mr. Parsons and his office manager Norma stayed in constant contact with us, sent reminders of upcoming dates and procedures, appointments and basically handled everything for us. At the end of my immigration journey, I couldn’t be happier to hold my Naturalization certificate which has finally realized my dream of being a US citizen. In conclusion, we are highly satisfied, pleased, and happy with the level of service provided and way that Mr. Parsons handled our case. Paul Parsons, in my opinion, is the best immigration attorney and if you need one, I strongly recommend Mr. Parsons and his team.

Best Inmigration Lawyer in Austin

My wife and I hired a Houston Lawyer at the beginning of our readjustment status ( I-485) because we were living in Bryan, Texas, he was our best option at the time, then we moved to Austin and started to notice and feel that our Houston Lawyer wasn't fulfilling our expectations and he didn't care a...bout us, we thought to change our Lawyer, due to this we looked on the internet for the best lawyers in Austin and we found Mr. Paul Parsons, he is one best rated Immigration Lawyer on the web. He didn't only fulfill our expectations, but he and his team were always above and beyond on every situation of our case. If you are looking for a lawyer for immigration purposes we totally recommend Mr. Parson's firm to handle your case.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney

Paul Parsons was recommended to us by an immigration attorney in California who stated Paul's reputation among fellow attorneys was exceptional. Paul was hired to assist our daughter- in -law in completing her U.S. Citizenship. From the beginning to the end of the process Paul and his team were quick... and responsive in addressing all of our concerns and making sure we understood each step that was involved. The process of obtaining U.S.Citizenship can be overwhelming. We feel forntunate that we hired such a professional, compassionate, and efficient legal team. Many thanks to Paul Parsons and his team. She could not of gone through the process without your never ending support.

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!!!!

We recommend Paul Parsons’s Office / read why.

Why going for a Law Firm? There are many reasons to choose to work with a law firm when starting an immigration process to the USA, and since I believe everybody has a personal reason, I can only speak of my own experience and am writing this because it might be useful for someone else as well. Any i...mmigration process is a highly bureaucratic process, and we decided to work with a law firm since it would help us organize the massive number of documents (many that are not clearly explained in the USCIS website) and because we have a handful of friends who all said that you really should have a lawyer for USA immigration. Why Paul Parsons Office? We read dozens of reviews (Google and Yelp) for an Austin, Texas based immigration lawyer and all the roads pointed to Paul Parsons’s Office. The reviews were great and we went for it. They did not disappoint, they are honest, thorough about the documents they need in order to organize your case (they make sure you do not forget any detail in preparing the documents) and they were there for us in every aspect of the journey in getting our materials in order to present a flawless case and that helps not only you but the US department as well since they would have everything they need to evaluate your case. Human Aspect. This kind of process can be highly difficult since you and your life can be under severe scrutiny, but Paul Parsons’s staff is great. They humanize the process, you feel like more than a case number, more like that they know you (and they do). I would like to extend a special thanks for Paul's Paralegal Daniel who was incredibly patient, competent and friendly, Daniel truly made the experience a pleasure. Cultural Awareness. For me, one of the most important facts that can make the experience in introducing yourself to a new culture in a process like this is working with someone that is aware of your own culture. Paul Parson’s Office knows and understands the multiple aspects of the Latin culture and that makes a huge difference. Do we recommend Paul Parsons’s Office? 100%. Go for it, you will not be disappointed. Flávia & Tyler Brazil & USA
