Thank you Immigration Professor!

I had consultations with a few offices before choosing to work with The Immigration Professor. They offered the best rates for my needs. I worked with The Immigration Professor for two cases. I am grateful to the team for their guidance and their reassurance through a very stressful and intimidati...ng process. They answered so many questions, and stayed on top of so many documents and important dates. Thank you in particular to Miriam Garcia, Lauren Gabbaian, and Carla Castro for their hard work ensuring success for both my cases!

Successful preparation and application

My husband and I had our initial consult with Robert back in 2024 and we're convinced in the moment to hire the Immigration Lawyer team for our adjustment of status application. We worked closely with Lauren Gabbaian and Maria Fernanda throughout our process. They both were highly engaged, attentive,... and detailed with their responses regarding our case. Maria Fernanda gave us excellent guidance in our applications and was available to answer any and all questions that we had. Lauren was candid and honest with us throughout the timeframe of our application, which we greatly appreciated. Her sound advice kept us on track of our goal. We felt well prepared for our interview after meeting with Robert (who really helped guide and calm us through the process) and are happy to share that we were granted our immigration benefit. We can't thank Lauren, Maria Fernanda and the rest of the team enough for their dedicated work, especially in these very busy times. We're full of gratitude and can't recommend them enough (we've already referred a friend).

Highly Recommended -Vawa

Atty Robert Perkins and his team I should say “highly recommended” for any immigration cases. Mr Perkins and Lauren Gabbaian are wonderful people! They listen, take their time to answer your questions and they have lots of patience. They make sure you fully understand everything and all the answers ...are clear to you. I really appreciate their professionalism and the advices they gave me! The team made my cases moved forward without any bumps along the way. Atty Perkins is very knowledgeable, honest and detailed oriented. He treats you as a friend and not a client, I did not feel any stress when we had our conversations via zoom. I am in Las Vegas and He is in California. Distance was not a problem for him. Where ever you maybe who needs his help on immigration please don’t hesitate nor think twice. I and my kids are very grateful and happy for the results of my case but mostly because I have found that in these times it is very difficult to find a good lawyer like him. My green card was mailed without going to interview. I thank the Lord most of all for making this happen, he directed me to The Immigration Professor Atty Robert Perkins. Thank you again Atty Robert Perkins and your team! I will use your service again in the future for my citizenship.

Trustworthy and efficient lawyer

I highly recommend Robert Perkins and his staff to anyone in need of immigration help. Robert is an expert attorney and he guided me and my employer through the complicated process of work sponsorship for a green card. When he was done, he also completed the green card process for my son. Robert doe...s his job with patience and compassion. I can’t thank him enough.

My husbands’ return

When I contacted The Immigration Professor, I was going crazy.  My husband had been stuck in Honduras waiting for his visa for almost a year, even though he was supposed to be back after only a few weeks.  Our daughter was only four years old when he left, and I was left caring for her and my disable...d ex-military father all by myself.  With The Immigration Professor, I was able to sue the government to get him back.  Lauren and Robert were very knowledgeable about the process and kept me up to date at every step.  Lauren was very responsive and sympathetic whenever I had a question or I was worried about anything. And even though my husband was in Honduras, Robert always made himself available to him as well. It was strange and wonderful having someone taking care of me through all of this.  And now I finally have my family back together. Robert and Lauren showed me a perfect balance of professionalism and genuine concern and compassion. Their attention to my needs and focus on the case never waivered. And now I finally have my family back together! My husband and I will forever be grateful to them both. I wish I had contacted them sooner

"Not only is Robert Perkins extremely knowledgeable, but he has always been generously collegial with his time and expertise. As a Trusts & Estates attorney, I know only enough about immigration to be dangerously unhelpful. Robert has always provided me with wonderful guidance when the occasional client inquiry arises in the world of immigration, and has done an amazing job with the clients I have referred to him. I highly recommend Robert's excellent substantive capabilities and caring demeanor."

"Robert Perkins and I shared office space in Los Angeles, and I had many opportunities to see him work in the immigration field. I have also collaborated with him on investor visas for mutual clients. Robert is a true professional in this complicated and ever changing area of the law who treats his clients with respect. Robert’s knowledge of the immigration laws is unparalleled because he has a national practice. He is often able to come up with legal strategies for complex cases that attorneys without his experience and depth of knowledge would not recognize. I highly recommend Robert Perkins as a first rate immigration attorney who gets the job done. ."
