I have been working with Atty. Hanlon for years now, starting from my first H1B visa application. He and his staff are professional, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Vivian is especially helpful. When it was necessary, one of their lawyers at the firm accompanied me during an interview. It felt reassuring and made me more confident. I am now en route to my citizenship and I am extremely thankful that I have the best legal support in Mr. Hanlon and his team.
Attorney Hanlon is very professional, exceptional, straight forward, knowledgeable, and very responsive handling our case including all his team, from Receptionist all the way to the legal assistant / case manager. We are happy He helped us received our IV as family. Strongly recommended!

Changed my life! Excellent lawyer and human being.
Attorney Daniel Hanlon is an exceptional lawyer with a unique combination of professionalism, empathy, humility, and intellect. I had the pleasure of working with him and his team, and I can confidently say that they are the greatest lawyers in town.
The staff who greeted me were pleasant and helpful, making me feel welcome as soon as I entered their office. I was struck by how well-organized his office was, which demonstrates the level of professionalism and seriousness with which they approach their work. I toured other offices where files were stacked all over the place on shelves and in boxes, making me very concerned that my case would be lost somewhere in the midst of this chaos, but this is NOT the case here.
Attorney Hanlon was fully engaged and attentive throughout our initial meeting, taking notes and asking critical and relevant questions, his attention to detail quickly alleviated my concerns and put me at ease knowing that I am working with a seasoned and experienced lawyer.
He exhibited a high level of dedication and love for his profession that extended beyond the case. He has an amazing way of relieving your stress because he understands the pressure you're under.
Attorney Hanlon's brilliance and dedication to getting your rights are unparalleled. He is always up to date on changes to legal codes or proposed bills and was eager to address any concerns or questions I had, no matter how complex or recent they were. He even went so far as to look into specifics about my country, demonstrating his dedication to winning our case.
Fortunately, my case resulted in a significant victory, and his support literally changed my life. Although no one can guarantee the outcome of your case, you will go to these stressful courts with the best lawyer in town by your side.
Finally, I strongly recommend Attorney Daniel Hanlon to anyone in need of legal representation. He is a fair lawyer who can significantly improve your chances of obtaining your rights. On top of all of this, he has an excellent team of associates, paralegals, and assistants, you can be confident that you have the best representation on your side.

Highly Recommend
I'm writing this long-overdue review to express my gratitude towards Hanlon Law Group, who helped me with my EB3 process. I started the process in mid-2019, and both Daniel and Vivian were very patient with me from the beginning.
The process was very long and uncertain, especially with the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic. However, Daniel was always available to provide helpful guidance and support whenever I needed it. He understood how frustrating this process could be and helped me stay positive throughout.
Due to COVID-19, there were significant delays, and I expected to wait until March 2023 to get the result based on my priority date. However, I was delighted to receive my I-485 in July 2022, which was earlier than expected.
Throughout the entire process, Vivian was my primary point of contact, and she patiently guided me through every step. Her constant communication and professionalism made the experience much less stressful, and I'm extremely grateful to her and the entire team.
Overall, I highly recommend Hanlon Law Group to anyone looking for help with the EB3 process. They have a knowledgeable team, excellent communication, and an unwavering dedication to their clients. Thank you, Daniel, Vivian, and the entire team for your outstanding work.

Rated the #1 Immigration Attorney (by me)!
Our previous asylum filing was wrong, our marriage filing was messed up, we have bad attorney advice. Then Daniel Hanlon arrived with excellent advice. He had one critical decision in our case that turned everything around. Our previous 3 attorneys didn't know how to fix our case. My wife was in immigration court for removal proceedings, the DANIEL HANLON FIXED EVERYTHING!
He fixed our I-485 and I-130 and got our green card. He also fixed our asylum case the right way! Ask him about how to fix your problems.
Don't waste your time or money with any other immigration attorney. His rates are very fair, and he's very honest, and will get you the best result possible.

To the rescue…
I contacted Mr. Hanlon’s office when it became clear that the lawyer I had originally hired had dropped the ball on my immigration case. Vivian really helped me to transfer my case and walk through all the necessary steps to citizenship. Mr. Hanlon and Vivian are two of the most knowledgeable and caring people you could ever hire for this very important process.
5 Star Service!!!

Excellent attorney and highly recommend!
With exceptional and timely guidance from Hanlon Law Group, I received my work visa and I would unequivocally recommend approaching them for immigration assistance. They did a phenomenal job in researching and compiling all the documentation, making it presentable, and repeated proofreading of every word on the forms and letters. The experience and qualifications of Daniel Hanlon in handling immigration cases are at top-ranked including the experienced staff. As a petitioner, I believe the communication dynamics and synergy between Daniel, and the staff (especially Vivian and Blanca who I was in constant coordination) is a true contributor to a successful and clear case. They were always available and highly responsive over email or phone calls which helped tremendously in resolving all the doubts, questions, and concerns which made the application stress free and solid. Thanks for their team effort and support.

They made it happen!
I first met Atty. Hanlon in 2015 when I consulted his law firm to help me fix my papers here in the US, being a newly married guy and first time to move in the US. The process was painless and I felt like He is not a lawyer, but more of a friend and a brother. My first three years in the US went on smoothly then all of a sudden, things turned turbulent that I had to consult again at Atty. Daniel for help. I practically ambushed his office, came unannounced, and practically crying with the sudden turn of events. He patiently listened to me without judging me for being an emotional mess. He then gave me step-by-step advice on what to do next. It was a painful journey but Atty. Daniel and his team never left my side and carefully went on hand in hand with my journey. The monetary side was not an issue with them, from my personal experience and my financial standing during this ordeal, we barely talk about money and they were very flexible abiding on my own terms. After years of waiting, and praying, I finally got a court decision. It was the best day in my life when I read the letter from USCIS congratulating me. I could have not done it alone. Atty. Daniel and his team played a pivotal role in making this happen. I am forever grateful for the support that they have given me. Talking about not just professionally but morally and personally. Hats off to Atty. Danie and his firm.

Immigration case
I have a pending immigration case way back in 1994, and I in 2015 I consulted with Atty. Hanlon about what options are available to me regarding my case. Atty. Hanlon was very thorough and clear with the different options on how we will proceed in reopening my case. After a year I had my green Card and just recently got my Citizenship. with the assistance of Ms. Vivian Chung, who by the way was the one who was personally in charge of my case and who followed up with me if ever I missing a paper work. Atty Hanlon team worked hard to resolve my case where a bunch of other Immigration lawyers gave me wrong advices. I m strongly recommend Atty Hanlon Law group to any individual who will need Immigration assistance.

We Ace it!
Finding the best law firm for Immigration/Legal services is not easy. I am grateful that I found one. I found Hanlon Law Group, PC through Asian Journal News Paper. I hired him. He helped me to become permanent resident through Employee Base Petetion as a Nanny. I hired him again. The reason why, because my middle name was misspell and at the same time for my citizenship. It was a long journey, but we ace it. I took my Oath Taking last March 2021. Atty Hanlon and all of his staff treated all their clients as a family. Ms. Vivian Chang was a great paralegal. Thank you all. I highly reccomended Hanlon Law Group, PC.

Totally professional and on it immigration law firm here folks
I can’t tell you how grateful we are to have had Daniel & Hanlon Law Group's help here. The whole staff is completely awesome and nice too.
Here’s the thing folks, the immigration systems is COMPLICATED and there are lots of ins and outs. Sure you can try and do it yourself and save some money, but if you want things done right, stress free and correctly – not to mention in a FRACTION of the time of you bungling up everything. WELL then Hanon Law Group has your back! No appointment missed. No form forgotten or lost. Everything is double checked and a thorough system in place so your case is handled properly.
Daniel is a cool and laid back professional as someone who knows his @)$it should be. Vivian equally awesome worked through the paperwork side and walked us through the hoops so we knew what to expect. My wife is French and after the K1 you need help to get the work permit, ss, travel (after covid!) and the interview handled correctly so you can get your green card in a reasonable amount of time. I wont tell you how much we paid because every case is different but whatever your quote is - trust me it’s a flipping steal VS the stress of DYI. Do it once, do it right and do it here at the most excellent Hanlon Law Group.

An Excellent Law Firm !
I am writing this review for both myself and my brother. I referred my brother to Atty Hanlon to assist him with his employer’s petition as a nurse. I was lucky to have used Atty Hanlon back in 2003. They have top level service with emphasis to details. They were available each time I have a questions. His paralegals will guide you through the process . In 2009, I referred my brother to him and his original immigrant petition went through without issues only to find out there was the retrogression for nurses. My brother lost the sponsor. We used another firm to racapture the petition in 2015 and was not successful. I decided to seek Atty Hanlon’s service and as always he did not disappoint us. My brother and his family are now ready to immigrate as I write this review. I have never doubted Atty Hanlon’s capacity and I will continue to use his service and refer him to others because his knowledge on immigration law is unsurpassable.

Very smart and hard-working lawyer
I am one of his former client. I got an internship back in 2012 and I was facing a complicated situation. Mr. Hanlon actually spent time with me on the phone and we went through all the details. He finally made the call and think my case should be ok. It turned out we got my work visa through.
His assistants were very helpful and efficient. I certainly recommend his firm. The cost of his service is a little bit above average but he knows what he is doing.

A successful outcome!
We are very happy with the legal services rendered by Hanlon Law Group. Attorney Hanlon was very knowledgable about the Immigration process; personable and accessible. We started the I-601 Waiver for Mexico process with this law firm in 2011 but paused due to President Obama’s welcome changes in the process. Mr. Hanlon advised us very well on our hardship strategy and carefully reviewed and edited all the documents when necessary. The change took place in Spring of 2013. By the end of October 2013 and after a trip to the US Consulate in Mexico, permanent residency was issued. This was a very stressful process, but Mr. Hanlon always eased our fears. He met with us many times throughout the process and was always relaxed and took time to answer questions. We had met several lawyers before deciding on Hanlon Law Group, and this firm stood out because Attorney Hanlon treated us warmly with no pressure and made us feel secure in his hands. He was very professional and we would recommend him to anyone seeking immigration legal services.
