Highly Recommended!

Adam is simply the best. It was a superb experience as he guided us through the green card process.

Simply the best in business

Adam is, without exaggeration, the best in the business. He won for us one of the toughest immigration cases: the waiver of the J-1 visa based on exceptional hardship. This is an incredibly difficult case not in the least because it is a two-step process: the waiver needs to be approved by USCIS and ...then by the State Department. The latter weighs the hardship case against policy implications and in the vast majority of cases declines the waiver (even if USCIS renders a positive recommendation). Our case had a 1% chance of approval and the particular J-1 visa we had had not seen a positive recommendation over the past 5 years. We knew the case was incredibly difficult so we consulted many attorneys before we selected Adam. Frankly, most attorneys sounded very negative on our chances, most shied away from taking on the case, including a few that (to our surprise) are ranked very highly by avvo.com. We went with Adam because he was the most prepared of all: he knew the law inside and out (while most attorneys had to consult their books right in front of us), he was pro-active from the beginning laying out a course of action including an incredibly detailed list of all documents needed. He had a clear plan from the very beginning on how to approach this case and instructed us step-by-step on what to do. He set us up with a family counsel professional whose detailed analysis on our family background, dynamics, health, and culture, played a large role in winning the case. What we liked the most about Adam is that he is always accessible and easily reachable; if he was not available or away on business/conferences, he would always call back/email within 24 hours. He always kept us in the loop and patiently explained the process in each step. Adam is determined to win and he will fight hard for your case. We are convinced that his plan, determination, and hard work was the main reason for us winning the case. He called/emailed immigration and the State Department on many occasions to make sure they had received all the needed documents, to update them with more recent information and advocate for the case. This is very uncommon since most attorneys (and we've had our share during this process) would lay back and wait rather than proactively work on the case. In short, Adam is a brilliant attorney, with a wealth of experience, and vast knowledge about immigration law. He is honest, direct, determined, and very courteous. He is so highly regarded in the business that he consults for the vast majority of Universities in Southern/Central California and Ivey league schools in the East Coast (including Harvard and Columbia University). He is now working on our green card. We have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so. Also, please don't be deceived by the high ranking of some other attorneys in this webpage; we have talked to almost all of them and Adam has them all beat hands down.

Great immigration lawyer

Adam is very accurate, efficient and effective in getting any paper work filed and successfully making a case. He also took care of my couple of referrals. Definitely best immigration lawyer ever.

Nice experiences

I have read through some of the previous reviews and totally agree what they said - we had similar nice experiences. I am fortunate to have Adam and his office to handle my Labor Certification, 140, and finally, 485 for my wife and I. He is patient, infinitely knowledgeable and very professiona...l. He answered my e-mails and phone calls quickly, gave me good advice on the applications and all related issues. Adam is a very kind person, genuinely care for his clients. It took more than 4 years before our priority date became current in the Visa Bulletin; as our cases lasted longer than anyone had expected, Adam brought us the much needed peace of mind, we trust him completely. From time to time we had to deal with certain issues, including two RFEs for 485; Adam and Paul handled these perfectly, and, there had been no extra charge beyond the initial payment 4 years ago. Overall, we highly recommend Adam and Paul for your immigration needs.

Great service provided!!!

Adam is the most competent immigration attorney that I've ever had. He is approachable, responsive and very very knowledgeable in helping us satisfy our immigration needs. He replied out emails, usually in less an hour, and he always returned out phone calls within a day. His extensive experience and... knowledge makes him a trustworthy and top rated attorney in the industry. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs immigration lawyer. You can't go wrong with him
