This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

** OUTSTANDING Lawyer & a GREAT person too!!

I don't even know where to start, this man is an unbelievable lawyer and an amazing person. As a Canadian, Jared worked with me to get my US citizenship. This was not easy as I owed years of back taxes to the US and was fighting with the IRS. With Jared's expertise and rock-solid advice, he steered m...e out of the mess I was in and then moved on to better things. Today I am a new and improved Proud American, thanks to Jared. You would think that would be the end of a happy story but a couple years later on a trip to the Philippines I met a beautiful girl. We dated back and forth for a few years and once again I returned to the Lawyer I can trust. Jared has been a huge help to me every step of the way. Today I am happily married living in the USA, again I owe so much to Jared. I will tell you Jared has been a savior for me, he takes care of business, he is proactive, he doesn't mess around, he gets it done now, he communicates like no other, when you call him or email him he actually gets back to you asap. He totally took all the stress out of life, this man cares and he shows it, I felt like I was his only client even when I know that's far from true. How do you do it Jared, you're amazing! On top of all that, I am not a rich man, and Jared made things affordable to where I was able to get it all done. Some things you can do on your own, but every time you have to resubmit a form because you filled out one line wrong you will have to pay USCIS again with long delays. Jared and his staff are very thorough, professional and absolutely the best. I honestly mean everything I have said, I truly don't know where you would ever find a better Lawyer with the care and concern Jared has shown me and my wife. Thank you Jared, you're the best!!

L1B visa

I'm incredibly thankful for the exceptional support from Jared Chiyuen Leung and Lorenzo Garcia Frausto during my L-1B visa application process. The entire process, from discussing the possibility of obtaining a visa to the final visa in the passport, took 1 year. I spent most of this time getting t...he necessary documents. The cost of US immigration attorneys was a source of concern for me, but I was happy when the final bill for services matched our original agreement at the end of the process. Despite the differences in documents between my country and the United States, I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to provide me with information about what documents I would need to get a visa. Thank you for your help! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking immigration legal services. They are more than an attorney; they are a true partner in your immigration journey.

Alex: Your comments are so generous. Thank you!! We really do see ourselves as your partner and are also deeply attached to your case too. We were just so happy that it worked out without any issue. Best of luck with your position in the US. Take care, Jared

Green card EB2 NIW

I hired Jared as my immigration attorney to assist me in National Interest Waiver (NIW) application to obtain my green card Employment-Based Category 2. I recommend his professional services as the NIW concept is a complex procedure! Jared and his entire was able to effectively guide me through th...is complicated application as multiple academics achievements, credentials and recommendation letters are required. The entire procedure lasted for 2 years with a lot of stress all along the way! When I received the Request for Evidence (RFE) from the USCIS officer in charge of my case, Jared demonstrated a high level of expertise in order to prepare the response to the RFE. The overall attorney fees are also very reasonable that also a very important aspect of the NIW procedure.

Best Immigration Attorneys

Jared and his team were absolute pleasure to work with. I have worked with quite a few immigration attorneys over the course of years in my different jobs. Jared stands out with his kindness, knowledge and promptness. He responded to my emails late at night or during weekends when I needed the answer...s quickly. He and his team, Amanda, Herman and everyone else I worked with are extremely efficient and best communicators. Would highly recommend!
