Great Experience!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support I received from Hanlon Law Group. Special thanks to Vivian for her all her hard work! My immigration process was long and challenging, but from start to finish, they made it so much easier to navigate. They were always there to answe...r my questions, address my concerns, and provide clear guidance every step of the way. Their professionalism and dedication made a huge difference, and I’m so thankful for their help. If you’re looking for an immigration law firm that truly cares about its clients, I highly recommend Hanlon Law Group!

Thank you Attorney Hanlon for the meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment, I now hold my green card and can build a future in this country with confidence.

Amazing Support by Mr. Hanlon, Vivian Chang, and their staff

I normally do not write reviews as we are very private people, however, in this instance it would not do Mr. Hanlon and his staff justice if we did not communicate how much my Wife and I appreciated Mr. Hanlon's and Vivian Chang's support. We absolutely appreciate you and your staff for your patie...nce and perseverance to stay with this case through Covid, a government shutdown, and other unexpected challenges to a successful completion. Sincerely, X & R

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.
