Green Card Process

Daniel managed my wife's green card process from start to finish. His work is impeccable in every respect. I cannot speak more highly of his depth of knowledge, attentiveness and availability. We were working under a fairly tight deadline and at no point did I fear we would miss it. Daniel had it... covered. He had wonderful resources already prepared to help us manage the information gathering process, and also customized all our materials where it was advisable to do so. On a personal level, Daniel is a friendly and warm individual and is a true pleasure to work with. I have already recommended him to a close friend who also had a great experience consulting with Daniel on an immigration matter.

E-2 visa

Attorney Berner is the type of attorney every client wants. I worked with Attorney Berner through our representation of a mutual client and found him to one of the best immigration attorneys I have ever worked with. Based on my experience with him, Attorney Berner is very knowledgeable and experience...d in the E-2 visa process. He was very thorough and had a sound understanding of the whole E-2 visa process, which could not have gone any smoother for our client. I would definitely recommend Attorney Berner and his firm to others.

O Daniel fez um otimo trabalho me ajudou muito na negociação da compra do negocio, no contrato de aluguel, ajudando meu advogado de negocios e depois me preparou muito bem para entrevista, quando cheguei no consulado tinha tudo na ponta da lingua. Recomendo.

Extremely professional and great at explaining

Daniel has helped me with guidance on complex situations, always putting my mind at ease. In all of the circumstances on which I consulted with him, he would explain to me all of the options and the consequences of each path I could take. Immigration is a tricky area in law and Daniel is clearly high...ly skilled in all matters of it. THANK YOU Daniel for your help with my questions and concerns always. You are the best!

The Best lawyer that I know

Yes I am fairly young and haven't met many lawyers in my life. When I was having a difficult time with my visa issue, I have consulted with several lawyers from famous ones to not well known ones. I was lucky enough to meet Daniel who was extremely friendly, responsible, reliable, and honest. It seem...ed like he was trying to solve this riddle for his own family. I highly recommend hiring him for your visa issues cause he will get to it ASAP and give you the facts that you need to know. I do not know how many lawyers I would see in my lifetime, but he is the BEST that I have seen so far. Thank you Daniel.

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.
