I called this law firm worried that I may be charged with an exorbitant consultation fee. However, I was met with a warm welcoming voice over the phone and later transferred to a qualified attorney who was helpful and thorough with my queries. In addition, they took time to understand my concerns and laid out the steps that will assist me in my journey. I left the conversation with greater understanding and a path forward. i will recommend this law office.
I am writing here today about my experience and the process of my immigration case. A while back I was in a very grave predicament regarding my immigration status.

I-601 Waiver
My wife and I got married a few years back. One of the most urgent issues we wanted to tackle was her immigration status in the United States. Unfortunately, she was brought here as a minor over 30 years ago and didn't have a way to prove that she entered the Country legally in order to adjust her status inside the U.S. I suffer from extreme health problems and need her assistance and support constantly. Having her leave the Country for a unknown period of time would cause immense hardship for me and the rest of our family, emotionally and financially. Thankfully, Attorney Shan Potts was able to help us apply for the waiver, all while explaining the process and answering all our questions and concerns. His help was greatly appreciated and we are happy with the results of his work.

Fiance Visa and Green Card
Me and my wife are very thankful for your assistance throughout the whole process. Contact Shan after he answered one of my questions and I have nothing but good things to say about the level of service I have received. His office was very friendly and understood our situation well and made me and my wife feel comfortable throughout the whole process. My wife got her green card two days ago. Would definitely recommend Shan Potts for anyone applying for a green card.

H4 & EAD
I retained Mr. Potts to help with my wife's H4 & EAD since my company is a small sized and they did not have their own immigration attorney. Mr. Potts and his team were so professional and gave us notifications on time and gave us a list of documents they needed and also gave us instructions for getting the visa stamped on my wife's passport. Very glad to have worked with Mr. Potts, would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs immigration assistance.

Most Reliable Attorney
I retained Mr. Potts for a green card application and I can honestly say I was the most relaxed I have ever been when applying for an anything immigration related. They got all the information from me and completed all the forms and applications by themselves without any mistakes and I got my card today. Will definitely retain Mr. Potts for my naturalization.

Honestly the Best Experience I Have had with an Attorney!
Mr. Potts handled my case beautifully. I was very impressed with his professionalism and ability to handle my case in a timely manner (faster than I even anticipated). I would highly recommend him not only because he is a great Attorney but also because he seemed to truly care and understand the importance of my circumstance. Thank you so much Mr. Potts!
