very professional, knowledgeable,responsive, kind and caring

my brother hired Mr Myers for a citizenship case. the case over a year and half instead of 6 months. still waiting for oath. Mr Myers stood by us all the way and still is. he is very professional and responsive. it is very hard to find an attorney who is as professional as he is and at the same time ...so kind and caring. when you go through hard times, knowing that you have an attorney that stands by you is very rare these days. my brother and I are so grateful to him and would not hesitate to highly recommend him.

Simply the Best in Every Way!

We debated whether to use an immigration attorney to apply for my partner's Green card. After speaking to several immigration attorneys we happened upon Robert and from the first phone consultation we knew he was the attorney for us. I can't say enough about how helpful he was in preparing us for eve...ry stage of the process. He was organized, thorough, well-informed, prompt, quick to return phone calls, flexible in meeting place and times, Etc. On top of that he is a genuinely nice guy and understands the emotional ups and downs this process can create for his clients. When we finally got to the actual interview there was nothing that came up that we had not been prepared for. He brought a notebook filled with everything we had submitted including extra material for the examiner might be interested in. At the conclusion of the interview we were informed that we had passed and I don't doubt at all that having Robert as our attorney was a significant factor. After the interview Robert explain the timetable for the 10 year green card and citizenship. He went on to say that he would be happy to help with either but he thought we could probably do it on our own without need for an attorney. It goes without saying that we were both impressed with that kind of honesty. What has been even more impressive is what has happened since we got the green card. As the various deadlines have approached we received emails or phone calls from Robert reminding us of application deadlines. While filling out the 10 year and citizenship applications we ran into some questions we just didn't know how to answer and called Robert. In each instance he was more than willing to take time to answer every question we had, even though we were no longer active clients. The kind of care and service we have received from him goes way beyond what one would normally expect. We would highly recommend Robert without any kind of reservation to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. It is hard to imagine you could find anyone better than him.

Professional, Kind, & Fastidious

We hired Robert last year to process my husband's residency in the US. We did our research on a few other lawyers and firms and decided that we did not want to be treated like just another number. We found Robert through a network that serves the LGBT community, and we couldn't be happier. After may...be 10 minutes of calling the network, Robert promptly gave us a call to assess our case. He was informative, nonjudgmental (this was very important to us), and we did not feel like we were being tricked. We hired him and met up with him in his DTLA office, and from then on, it was nothing but a smooth process. He prepped us for the interview; he informed us of the documents that we needed to provide; he was humorous and patient with our questions. We don't like giving much superlatives, but he really made the process seem easy and far less complex as it is. The day of the interview we met him at the immigration offices downtown, and the interview was literally just a few minutes. Less than 10! We felt prepared; we knew what to expect. We couldn't have done it with his help. Thank you, Robert! You really did great on our case and we appreciate all your help.

Need an Immigration Attorney? I did!

I am currently a permanent resident and soon to be a fully pledged US citizen. I used the services of Robert Myers in 2012 for my immigration from the UK. I was travelling to the USA on an ESTA travel visa when I met my wife to be (we are now married and living in California, thanks to Robert). I ...was only on a travel visa which expired and my girlfriend and I decided to get married. This caused concerns for me because if I breached my visa requirements I could be barred from the USA for ten years which could have had severe consequences for my relationship. Therefore I was 'all in' and all my trust would have to be with an attorney. After researching and speaking to several attorneys throughout LA and southern California I eventually found Robert on this website. After speaking to Robert we decided to hire him due to several factors. Coming from England I was very skeptical about hiring an attorney. I had been on line and this confused me more as it is a minefield, as is the American attorney market. Robert was professional and personable from the outset. He was super knowledgeable in his field and soon made both myself and my now wife feel a lot more comfortable with the immigration process ahead of us. He was flexible on meeting us and drove to our location several times to conduct meetings. He was available whenever we needed him and as an added bonus he was priced very competitively which was much needed as I was running out of funding. Our case went straight through immigration in record time and with minimal stress. I put this down to Roberts competency and thoroughness in preparation. I have used Robert Myers for other services since then and he has always helped me or referred me to the right place as and when I have needed him. Therefore, I would not hesitate in recommending Robert Myers as an immigration attorney. Thank you Robert . 10 out of 10. I am loving living in the USA with my wife and my life has dramatically improved since leaving England.....thanks to you! British Army veteran, 40 years old. FYI

Me and my husband would strongly recommend Robert Myers for immigration process. Right from beginning, Robert was very proactive in the process, cleared our doubts regarding the immigration. He is highly professional and knowledgeable in his domain. He helped us in all the paper work, was available f...or appointments and was very responsive with our questions. If you want to finish your immigration work without any problems, then do take his help. He made our dreams come true !!!
