Thanks to John I am legal

It is incredible that a phone call could change your life in minutes. I have been in the US for the last 22 years and I visited around 10 different lawyers getting the same answer: NO.  My adjustment of status case was complicated, but all the lawyers I contacted for years gave me either false h...opes (leading the case under wrong setting which could eventually result in rejection by USCIS and possible deportation) or told me to wait for the law to change one day.  Sometimes we trust lawyers' opinions and that is the final step we make. In my case I lost so many years in opportunities, in visiting my friends from my country, I even missed my dad's funeral.  My mind was set that my case was doomed. After so many years, me and my wife decided that we had to give it a last try before giving up and leaving USA for Guatemala, where I am from, or Russia, my wife's home country. My wife researched many lawyers for a long time, but we got lucky and blessed that she found John’s profile on YELP.  We really liked that he responded to all comments very professionally. He does all the work by himself, without delegating it to dozens of helpers who might make careless mistakes. The consultation is well worth it, as John really prepares for it, reviews all related laws and new developments. Originally we thought we needed to go through consular processing and waiver, upon a closer review it turned out that we could apply for adjustment without leaving the US, and through a completely different route, with adjustment based on old relative's petition all prior lawyers simply dismissed.  John really dedicates his time to each case he takes and provides quality work for his clients, without dragging the cases for years (we experienced that firsthand before with a "lawyer" who kept charging the case managing fee for months before we figured out we had no case!)  In the phone call prior to the consultation, John asked me key questions that ultimately led to a successful resolution of our adjustment of status immigration case. During the consultation, he outlined all possible outcomes and our actions, explained all relevant precedent cases, checked on all our USCIS correspondence and documents, prepared a list of pending things for submitting the packet to USCIS. He was clear and direct about the fees, which were very reasonable, and to the end of the case he kept true to the agreement.  After packet was submitted, he kept in touch and let us know when there were any changes, with same day responses to any of our concerns and questions.  All in all, from paperwork submission to final interview, the process took us 9.5 months.  We as a family have nothing but great respect and admiration for his professionalism and detail-oriented approach on the preparation of the documents, on how to coach us for final interview and how he backed us up in person at the final interview.  John has a special charisma and his presentation is a plus at the time of the interview. No doubt he is up to date in the always changing policies and rules from the USCIS. That is an important factor, a decisive factor that could change things for the better. Before we went for it we discussed and checked the current laws so we were prepared as we were.  I am a local in the city of Los Angeles, I have lived here since 1998. I would recommend John as a lawyer to any of friends and to my family, hands down. I have been around and he is the best. Our lawyer had the information and education that actually made a change for me and my family. We have interacted online and in person, he is a gentleman with the skills that only could be matched by his good heart. He truly cares and I can say that I know a person that is making a truthful change in society. Now we have the green card and it is a reality and a blessing for us. So Thank you, John.

Highly recommend!

John is an excellent attorney. We had a wonderful journey obtaining our permanent residency with his help. From our first session, he laid out everything in the process clearly and helped us every step of the way. John is super responsive and made himself available any time we needed him (through pho...ne and video calls) and always made sure we were on top of what we needed to do. He is professional and attentive to details. From answering questions, to filling out forms and preparing for interviews, he was always there for us. We are so thankful for having him as our attorney. We recommend him to anyone that needs immigration service!

Impeccable service and a friendly, reassuring approach

My husband and I were delighted by John's services and felt very lucky to have him guiding us through a rigorous and extremely complex immigration process. As an Australian with a US partner, I wanted to be sure that we spent as short a time as possible apart while waiting for our case to process, an...d also that everything would be done accurately so that there would be no complications or delays. John advised us of the different options available to us, along with time frames, costs and implications of each, and then worked with us to lodge successful applications for a K1 Fiancee Visa then Green Card. We worked with him for over a year and throughout the whole process he was the epitome of professionalism, responding to all emails promptly, and usually within the hour, and making sure that we were on top of all the steps we needed to go through. He made everything clear and intelligible and never spoke in baffling legalese. We also really appreciated his calm, friendly and approachable demeanor, and felt that we could get in touch with him at any time and ask him anything we weren't sure of. Without John's assistance, this would have been a stressful and bewildering process and we are so grateful to have had him assist us. Thank you very much John!

Could not have wished for a better lawyer!

So fortunate we chose John as our lawyer during this heavy weighted and stressful process! My husband is from Russia and John and his team completed our documentation and paperwork for his his green card (i-485) and travel/work permit. We have been working with John for a few years - our process... took exceptionally long due to our several moves which John was with us every step of the way advising if our decisions would be beneficial for our case or not, and of course updating USCIS. We have not had even one unpleasant experience with John. Things to highlight about him are: 1. His quick response time. The previous law office we tried would not get back to our emails for weeks at a time! That was incredibly stressful to us. John, without fail, always responded within the same day we reached out to him with a professional response. This really put as at ease - we really felt he was by our side despite living in NYC and him being in LA! 2. His professionalism. He always returned emails in a professional manner and with fact based info. 3. His turnaround time for submitting paperwork to USCIS - he diligently and attentively reviews documentation and submits it immediately after. 4. He really keeps himself up to date on the latest laws. He emailed us several times on governmental changes. When you work with John you can be rest assured you are in good hands. You will know you have the best with you at your side! Thank you, John!

The Best Green Card Attorney you could have.

John has been instrumental in my green card application. I found him through doing my research online for a US Green Card Attorney and was really impressed by his blogs and specifically his immigration podcasts. Best attorney I could work with and I found him without any personal references. Si...nce I am based in a different city, John kicked off his professional services by doing a through review of the provided documents and doing a follow up video confrencing, which really provided me a great comfort level. Truly appreciate all his hard work, professionalism and prompt actions here to help me get the green card approved. The case was more than complicated and wouldnt have been able to do it without his professional help and representation. I am really glad John was able to represent me here and made me really feel comfortable with the whole process and responses. My case is definitely a great win for John. John is very knowledegable, methodical and extremely professional and thorough in his dealigs with US immigration matters. I would recommend John's professional services to anyone going though the US immigration and green card process.
