We are glad we made the right choice!

We consulted with and compared several lawyer’s offices, and then we choose John Buda. Unlike other lawyer offices that you only meet with Assisant who cannot always answer your question. At John Buda we got the chance to meet with John every time for our meetings and he responded quickly for emails.... He is professional, confident, sharp, friendly, and humor! I read some similar experiences online and from the people I know, but their cases were not smooth because of the lack of immigration knowledge. Thanks to John’s professional service, our case was very smooth. We could not be happier. To those who are/will be going through this process, hiring a lawyer like John Buda is definitely the right choice and makes it smooth.

Professional and courteous service

John Buda helped me successfully process my application thanks to his excellent service and professional consultation. I was very surprised that Buda would personally reply my email promptly most of the time. Buda was able to answer my questions and got to the point that clarified my concerns duri...ng the process. In addition, his paralegals were also very courteous and responsive each time as I called in the office. As I started to prepare my application, I looked for an attorney whose team should be very responsive, precise, and knowledgeable with courtesy. Why? Who will you expect to fill out every single piece of information to the forms and organize all kinds of documentation for their clients? It’s their paralegals. Most of attorneys only show up at the beginning to evaluate your case if it fails within their consultation price. Afterward, they will hand the chores to their paralegals. However, John was willing to walk through my paperwork in person and to spend time discuss my case thoroughly. Most important, he is very knowledgeable in this field that really gave me a peace of mind. I also appreciate the way John and his staffs prepared my document that was organized and comparatively secure. Instead of simply sending confidential documentation via email with lack of security, they adopted cloud-based file transfer service to send my files. They also created an appendix listing out all the addendum that was really helpful to give good impression to the person who would review the case. After all, I believe it’s a right decision to have Buda Law to handle my application. Thank you very much John.
