A consummate professional.

We engaged Mr. Vladimir Galstyan to handle an immigration matter for an entertainer seeking to tour the United States. Our less-than-successful dealings with another firm had placed us in a precarious and confusing situation, with an almost impossibly short deadline to recover. Vladimir moved quic...kly, worked proactively and went above and beyond to achieve a successful result amidst high-pressure circumstances. He communicated effectively throughout the process and his advice was invaluable. Most importantly, his professional fees were incredibly reasonable for the quality of counsel we received. He is a consummate professional and, indeed, one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone. Chris

A True Life Saver

I came to Vladimir in a hopeless situation: My initial O-1 application got a 12 page RFE that my former lawyer kept from me for weeks. This same lawyer also wanted me to file a completely new case. But Vladimir had a look at my RFE and told me that he could fix it. At this point the deadline to send ...in a response to the RFE was only 7 days away, so I was nervous. But I trusted in Vladimir and he didn't disappoint me. He went into crunch mode and worked on the case all week, sometimes until midnight. We worked together very well and he picked up or responded to all my calls and questions. We kept to the master plan that he came up with at the beginning of the 7 day period and it was clear to me what I was supposed to do to help the case and what exactly he was working on at all times. USCIS approved my case (that had a 12 page RFE!!) after only 13 days. I couldn't be happier!

O-1 Visa and EB-1 Greencard approved!

I first worked with Vlad when I was going for my O-1 Visa a few years ago. He was very clear about what I needed to provide for him to process the case and very confident that we would have no trouble attaining the Visa, and he was correct! More recently I met with Vlad in regards to going for a Gre...encard. He was definitely the right Lawyer to go with because my case has been approved in a quick and drama free manner. The process was relatively simple for something as complex as this and he did an excellent job with my case. Love your work Vlad!

Review for Mr. Vladimir Galstyan

Mr. Vladimir Galstyan is a very nice and compassionate attorney! He knowers his field and is pretty determined to work for his clients benefit. He puts lots of energy into fighting for his clients rights. He informs you step by step and won't leave you in the dark. After all the attorneys I t...ried out he tuned out to be the best and his job. I'm very happy I chose him for my case. God bless him all trough his life.

Super lawyer! Know immigration law better than anyone I have ever met.

Vladimir Galstyan has extensive experience in immigration law and his thorough understanding of the entire immigration process is simply superb. He immediately addressed any concerns about my case and kept me completely informed every step of the way. He is truly an attorney that I would not hesitate... to refer my friends and family. Many thanks.

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.
