Great Immigration Lawyer

Atty. Goldstein was very helpful during my face-to-face consultation. He answered all my questions professionally with an expert explanation. I would recommend his immigration law expertise to my all friends and family anytime.

Best immigration lawyer in MA. Great team of professionals!

Could not have been happier with the work and professionalism that was provided by Joshua Goldstein Law office team in preparing my case. It's hard to find a caring attorney like Josh. I was so worried because of my complexed, most unique case of requesting a status change and a waiver. Josh and his... highly professional team took the lead, were with me at each and every step of my application, and got my green card approved even without an interview! Josh was able to speed up the preparation of my application and met all of the time goals. His assistant, Kristen (Immigration Parallegal) was able to put together all the aspects of my case in a very strong waiver letter that was clear and easy to understand. The provided all the required documents USCIS needed, organized them and did not leave anything out. The case was well prepared, well supported with clear and relevant evidence that are easy to understand. Josh and his team helped me to avoid costly mistakes that could have taken extra time or even cause the case to be denied. The team supported me in the court as well. They knew what they were doing and were able to explain all the details and specifications so that I could understand. Joshua is hard working, kind, intelligent, responsive and quite brilliant. His team of assistants were respectful, considerate and happy to listen. I appreciate the team's efforts enormously! A great lawyer and an awesome team! I couldn't recommend them more and will forever be immensely grateful for their dedication and excellence!

Eva--I'm so happy for you that your case was approved. I know how stressful the immigration process can be. Thank you for trusting me and for selecting me for the privilege of representing you as your lawyer. Keep in touch if I can do anything more to help you down the road.

Citizenship Approved!!!

Josh, as I call my attorney Mr. Goldstein, has been fundamental in my citizenship being approved. He and his staff have been always very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I felt from the beginning until the final interview (he was there) that I was in good hands. Throughout the process, I receive ...from either Mr. Goldstein or one of his associates the needed instructions, reassurance, and communication for a successful ending. I highly recommend working with attorney Josh Goldstein.

Great Immigration Lawyer

Joshua Goldstein's office were very helpful. They were clear on what immigration expected from my case and helped build build a strong case. Joshua Goldstein helped from application process all the way to the interview process. When my husband went for his interview, he was confident and was granted ...his visa. We are finally reunited!!

Outstanding service, great outcome.

I hired Josh around 2.5 years ago, right after being placed into removal proceedings after a failed I751 with waiver. I was almost ready to pack my bags, until a friend recommended a consultation with Josh before doing so. From that point Josh and Eric were extremely positive about my case, they... said it would take time, but eventually they could get my 10 year green card approved. They safely navigated my path through a new I751, 2 court appearances and my final interview. Two and a half years down the line I now have been approved, finally out of a nightmare situation. There is no way I could have gone through this complicated process without Josh and his colleagues by my side, they clearly deal with immigration issues such as this on a daily basis, I would recommend his law firm to anyone.

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.
