Highly recommend

I highly recommend The Meyer law office. I had a difficult case and got into some trouble when I was younger. over the past 10 years I've consulted with different attorneys who have told me they didntt think I should apply for citizenship and I should just maintain my permanent residence. Last year... I consulted with an attorney who also had her doubts but recommended me to Hans. As my last attempt I consulted with Hans and he said we definitely had a tough case but was the first to say he thinks I should apply, he gave me the hope that I needed to go for it. I hired him to help me ,Jackie was the Paralegal on my case she was so supportive through the whole process every time I'd have my doubts she'd say you know I think we built a pretty strong case for you and the uscis officers know everyone is human I think you have a good chance...2 mos after filing my application I got an interview notice and got my Citizenship 1 week ago ! They worked extremely hard and I couldn't have done this without them. I've already started referring people to them

Expertise & Skills & Excellence! Denver is fortunate to be home to MLO

I'm a Denver native & attorney since 2004 . When a beloved family member needed DUI defense a year ago, I knew there was only one firm, one lawyer and team, that I would trust to provide the best legal representation. Case went to a jury in Jefferson County and my beloved was found NOT GUILTY. Meyer ...Law Office saved my family's future, and did so professionally and with human insight/ compassion. I thank Hans and his team (Alexandra & Georgina especially!!!). The absolute highest quality of representation and care/concern. Sincerely, Kristin

Incredible results

My immigration case was nothing less than complex. Between Hans and his staff Julie, Lupe, etc. They saw something in me and my family, they knew that my 3 kids could not be with out a father and my wife could not be without a husband because of choices I made when I was a teenager. This took years t...o achieve through prayer, countless phone conversations, meetings, paper work that they did. Immigration put me through the ringer and they stayed with me all the way. In the end I am a U.S. Citizen and a grateful man for their incredible hard work and commitment to my family. Thank you guys for everything you did for us, and God bless you and your family's

Success

Hans Christopher Meyer and his team are the best law firm I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There are not enough good words to express my gratitude for their knowledge, dedication, compassion and work ethics of this amazing team of professionals. I have been adding little glimpses of th...e case that the Meyer Law Firm has been working on for my son-in-law throughout the last year. Here is my grand finally!! After being told our case was not a case that could be won by four different lawyers over a 10 year span, I was heartbroken. I felt totally defeated by an immigration process that felt it so easy to take a father away from a five year old little girl with no further concern for her future than that. We decided to just have him lay low and hope for the best. Well the best was in our future not in our past. I love my son-in-law very much and he is an amazing Dad for my granddaughter. He had chosen to stay in this country illegally so he could remain a part of his daughter’s life and help raise her, because we were not given any hope by the other lawyers we had contacted over a ten year span. He felt it was not an option to go back to El Salvador with my daughter (his wife) and my granddaughter, because of how hard it is to survive there and how dangerous it is to live there. To make a long story a little shorter, the inevitable happened. He was placed in Aurora’s ICE detention center and set up to be deported. This was not an option we as a family were willing to take with his life and the life of my granddaughter who is the biggest "Daddy's Girl" next to her mom. We hired Hans Meyer’s Law Firm and started the biggest and best fight we had ever been in. Han’s laid out a well thought out plan to move forward and keep my son-in-law from being deported while we fought the fight of getting a Post-Conviction Case overturned and keep him here in this country while we moved forward with the strategies it took to make my son-in –law here legally. Hans had many victorious moments during this case, but the greatest was the overturn of the Post-Conviction case that changed the status of my son-in-law from illegal, with only the hope of deportation too, able to be released on bond with the ability to apply for Permanent Residency and a future as a citizen of the United States of America. He now has the possible ability to stay here indefinitely, raise his daughter, travel legally back to his country to allow his mom to meet his daughter and to become a citizen. Thank you Mr. Meyer and the staff of the Meyer Law Firm for everything you have done for my son-in-law, my granddaughter and my family!

Helpful

I have been working with Mr. Meyer and his staff for about nine months and am very pleased. He has been very upfront with me and his team works very hard. He has never given me false hope, but has always been straight forward with the pros and cons of our case, I am extremely pleased to announce that... he was able to create a miraculous out come in our post-conviction case. He is a hard worker and always remembers that his work is affecting lives. I am grateful for all the work that has gone into my son in laws case. Thank you Mr. Meyer and his incredible staff.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Never have I met an attorney who is as influential, relentless, and compassionate. The incredible work and dedication he puts in to each of his clients is just the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Meyer built his firm from the ground up, and has transformed the legal landscape of immigration - not only in Colorado but nationwide - in the process. I first met Mr. Meyer when immigrant clients of mine were being arrested and deported after being profiled by racist police officers. Mr. Meyers helped form an alliance that ended up being able to get the law that previously allowed for this deemed unconstitutional. The more recent sanctuary city conversation, nationwide, is being defined, refined, and scaled-up by Mr. Meyers & his team. I know no other firm tenacious and brave enough to pursue policy advocacy as aggressively as they pursue justice for each client."
