Myron is truly a top immigration lawyer

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Myron at Quan Law Group. We are not immigration newbies, as we have worked with a handful of immigration attorneys around the country for various immigration matter/visa type. We came to understand how important a knowledgeable, experienced, en...gaged and passionate lawyer is, and importantly, how difficult they are to come by. For our marriage case, we have consulted and interviewed half a dozen lawyers, including many that we have worked with before and have great respect for. 10 minutes into our meeting with Myron, and despite having never met him before, we know we've found our lawyer. Not only does Myron know the in and out of immigration laws, he can answer every single questions with specific details that other lawyers failed to mention. Most of our questions are not straightforward and plain-vanilla. It was clear that he had thoroughly thought about them in the course of his practice, and he is truly obsessed with details - a great trait for an immigration lawyer. We can tell that he also has an excellent understanding of the current trend and recent development in the immigration space. We are very happy with the final product and are appreciative of Myron's advise all along the way. Last but not least, Myron's assistant, Ziya, was also fantastic to work with. She is very detail-oriented and always there to respond to our inquires. This is a dream team that we would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic

I married a US citizen in June 2014 (I'm British), Myron and his team (Paula especially is amazing) sorted me out in 3 months. As well as being amazingly well priced, they go above and beyond with their services. I am using Myron to petition for my sister also. Go see him, you won't regret it!

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.
