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 question...s. 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.

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.

Immigration Assistance

Early 90's if I still recall it right , I hired Atty. Hanlon for my immigration need and from the time that we came to know each other and even develop a friendship. I find this fine young man to be capable and able to deliver what we agreed for him to do in my behalf. I have complete confide...nce that he will do the same to anyone who will seek his expertise regarding there immigration questions and needs.

Hanlon Law Group is Awesome

I start working with Hanlon Law Group since 2002. Daniel P. Hanlon is our Immigration Attorney. I was not referred by anyone saw their news paper advertisement called and set an appointment with Mr. Hanlon. Prior to working with Mr. Hanlon I worked with couple of other lawyers and I had horrible exp...erience with them. Hanlon law group managed all my family member’s immigration cases and we are extremely pleased with their outstanding service. One of the main thing we like about them that their entire office stuff is awesome they are always friendly and helpful. We are extremely satisfied with Daniel Hanlon and our wonderful paralegal Vivian Chang. Hanlon Law group is an affordable law firm and they always work with their clients. I can say they care for their clients because they always cared for us and still do. Anytime I need any help I can call their office and they always help me. They always explain the whole process and do a wonderful job on follow up. I wish all the best to this firm.

An immigration lawyer and a friend

I've first met Atty Hanlon the year 2000 thru a relative when he was still a Partner with Reeves and Associates and since then I had been a client and a friend to this date. As an immigration lawyer handling my case since then and me moving from one employer to another is a BIG challenge for him. But... Atty Hanlon handled it extremely well and without a doubt a master in his own rights. Atty Hanlon is very very professional, result oriented and works diligently with your case with only one thing in mind, get it done and get it approved in no time at all. I would recommend Attty Hanlon any time, any place, anywhere with a high flying colors. Kudos to Atty Hanlon and his group. The BEST immigration law firm I ever had.
