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.

Green Card Application

Bernadette De la Cruz has been our attorney during the process of applying for a Green Card - she guided us faultlessly through everything. She submitted all documents, educated us, and was never more than a phone call away. I would HIGHLY recommend Bernadette and this law firm.

Simply the best law firm!

I am a client of Mr. Parsons for over 5 years now. Back in 2016 I have consulted Mr. Parson's law firm for the first time after a bitter experience from elsewhere. Trust me, that was the best move i made related to my immigration. Mr. Parsons himself and his staff are highly professional and diligent... and took care of the case immediately. My progression from a work visa to EAD to Green card to Citizenship, kids, change of locations, change of jobs. I was always assured of smooth transition thru out these natural changes. I highly recommend Paul Parsons law Firm and we are not done yet :)

The best immigration lawyer in Austin.

I was looking for a good immigration lawyer to help me with my situation. Especially due to vivid 19, most lawyers do not accept office visits. I did some research online and read reviews. Then I read all the great reviews about Paul Parsons. I scheduled a phone consultation with him. After my consul...tation, I was very reassured with his advice and recommendation. I retained him as my attorney right away. The whole process was very easy and I was kept to date about my through her awesome assistant Norma. She was very awesome to work with. I highly recommend Paul Parsons. He is the best immigration lawyer in Austin. You will not regret having him on your side. He has many many years of experience. Thank you to Mr. Parsons and your great staff. God bless you all. Teddy.

Exceptional and expert team offer peace-of-mind and professional service

Mr. Parsons and his team offer exceptional support for immigration. They were calm, clear, and helpful in managing my visa as well as my citizenship document. I have navigated immigration paperwork on my own in the past; however, the peace of mind I got from this process was well worth the fees--in p...articular, as the logistics got more confusing during the pandemic. They understand the system and provide useful, clear advice. I've already recommended them to multiple people.
