尊敬的律师John和Emma, 十多年前,我的先生曾与John律师相识,我先生对John很有好感,他说John是一位值得尊敬与信赖的律师。 如今,我亲身经历让我更加真切地体会到,律师和Emma助理不仅专业精湛、经验丰富,而且极富责任心与同情心。 在我提交案件之时,正值我先生刚刚过世,我心情很差,头脑不清醒,案子情况复杂、手续繁琐,让我倍感艰难与压力。然而,您二位非常温暖可亲,以不厌其烦的耐心、细致入微地帮助我处理每一个环节。您们的敬业精神与善良之心,在我最孤单无助的时刻,给予了我莫大的安慰和帮助。 您们是一支难得的团队,专业与温情兼备,严谨与善良并行。能够得到您们的帮助,...是我生命中极为宝贵的恩典与祝福。 衷心感谢您们所付出的一切!这份恩情,我将永远铭记在心。 此致 敬礼! YAN SUN

Mr. Buda is very supportive and responsive. You will feel like you are talking to one of your family members as he passionately shows interest and attention to your case. Despite the ups and downs during my relatively long journey, he always made me feel reassured. On the other hand, he never gives y...ou false hope or inaccurate information. He is very honest and genuine. Furthermore, his paralegals are fantastic (especially Emma). Emma was very patient with me and my obsessive emails and inquiries. Mr Buda and his team dealt with my case professionally and made sure it reached the finish line in the fastest way possible.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I highly recommend John Buda and the Buda Law Group to anyone that will be going through the immigration process. I reached out to John (June 2017) when looking for a lawyer to help our family with the immigration progress for my wife and son. I wanted to find someone that would be as invested in... the process as we were. I am a very organize and detailed person and I was looking for someone with those same qualities. His calm approach throughout, provided confidence and was reassuring. John & his staff took the time to get to know us and took a personal interest in our situation. He walked us through every step along the way, telling us what to expect, providing the resources and information needed to navigate this process, as well as helping us organize our supporting documents. Anytime I had any questions, John and his staff were quick to respond to my calls and emails. When it was time for our Immigration interview (May 2018) John was there with us. We were very well prepared, and it was smooth as could be. Fast forward two years, (February 2020) it was time to apply to have the temporary status removed for my wife and son. I called John and he started preparing the paperwork right away. He again laid out the steps we would go through and provided us with the information we needed to organize our documents. My wife and son recently received their approval letters and their new PRC’s. We cannot thank John and The Buda Law Group enough for helping us. If you need legal help with the immigration process, I encourage you to contact John Buda and The Buda Law Group to discuss your situation.

From start to finish John was there for us

We would like to thank John for helping Jane and I through the long process of Jane's Visa. He helped us with all the paperwork and double-checked everything. John has been there with us through the years it took to get Jane her Permanent Resident Card. John is very professional and we highly recomm...end his law firm for all your immigration issues. Jane and I will forever be grateful for all the work he has done for us!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
