Perfect, efficient and caring experience

Bernard and Judy were the ones who dealt with me for my immigration process. I had had some problems in the past and was very nervous about trying but the Wolfsdorf firm was so thorough, caring, and efficient, that it all got done in a very timely manner. I arrived to my final consular interview pos...itively over prepared, all the instructions sent over by Judy through the months were straight forward and never confusing. I can never thank enough Bernie and his staff for their endless patience dealing with me long distance, and seeing me through one of the most important and stressful processes of my life!

Great Experience with the Wolfsdorf Law Group

Very professional, careful, thorough, and caring group. They are the USC trusted Law Group. That is how I got to know them when I worked at USC. They helped me with my Green Card application, and I have only very good things to say about them! They know what they are doing, and explain everything ver...y well. I got my green card approval in only a few months; faster than I thought was ever possible! Bernie and Jessica were the main people handling my application. I am thankful to them for life.

Angels on our shoulder

Since arriving in this country in March 2000, Bernie, Avi and the stellar team of attorneys at Wolfsdorf Immigration Law Group [WILG] have been an extension of our family, seamlessly and without hiccup, handling all our legal immigration affairs. Through the many successful visa processes, including... H1-B’s/H-4’s [which involved a trip to Mexico and two to Canada], F1’s for Shelley & Rowan, Green Cards and finally to Greg & Carol’s naturalization on April 26, 2013, WILG have been constantly reassuring, consummately professional and genuine to the core. The final leg will be the I-130 process for Shelley & Rowan and it is without question that we wouldn't think of any other Firm to take care of our family’s legal needs. For those considering legal immigration counsel have our evidence as a testament to the successful services that WILG provides, and WILG has more than earned our permanent, unreserved and highest endorsement.

Wolfsdorf and associates a firm you can truly trust

Wolfdorfs and associated have been instrumental in my success and have been diligent and exceptional over the 9 years in dealing with my immigration case. The team that has worked on my case through the years have strived to have my cases approved and even in a denial they were there to get the ball... rolling again never once was I out of communication day or night. With my final approval for my GC and receiving my card 2 months after approval it is with great pleasure to highly recommend Bernie and his team.

Wolfsdorf Immigration

Wolfsdorf Immigration are simply the best out there. They helped me with my H1-B case and walked me thru all the steps thoroughly. They were extremely helpful and professional. The great thing about this firm is that they work in teams, which is great, so if someone in your team is unsure about somet...hing, they'll get someone who has the expertise in that matter. My case was a really hard one to win since I work for a very small company. However, they were able to put together a very strong case and win it. The entire firm is full of great attorneys and immigration specialists.

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.
