Very helpful
I called the office of Mr. Kannan and left a voice mail. I was called back by the secretary within an hour. I had a few specific questions and was told that I would get a call back from Mr. Kannan, who called me even earlier than expected. I wanted to make an appointment to discuss my issues, but Mr. Kannan gave me answers to all my questions on the phone for free! I was truly amazed at his knowledge and helpfulness. What an awesome attorney!

I highly recommend attorney Alex Kannan and his staff for those people that need legal assistance in immigration. I found Alex knowledgeable and he communicates timely regarding the status of the legal action. He is fluent in Spanish and English which was very important for some of my friends that did not speak English. The best part of working with Alex was the results. He accomplished exactly what he said he was going to do. I was very pleased with the entire experience with Mr. Kannan

Dedicated Professional
I have known attorney Alex Kannan for a little more than 4yrs now. His dedication to help others is exceptional. Since I have not required any law services, I have most definitely referred him to friends and family. Therefore I know that Alex is always reachable, explains the case with clarity, and always meets his end. Most importantly, Alex speaks Spanish! I will continue to recommend Alex.

Professional attorney, that was easy to reach and followed through in a personable fashion.
When we found ourselves in need of an attorney, Alex was there to guide us through the whole process. Calls were promptly returned when we left messages and we never felt that our case was being ignored. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to any of my friends or family in the future. The outcome of our case was favorable, even better than we expected. We were facing a felony charge for distribution of a controlled substance. Thank you Alex

A TRULY PROFESSIONAL LAWYER
MY PARTNER APPROACHED ALEX KANNAN AND WE DISCUSSED HIS DESIRE FOR MY PERSONAL PAPERS. AT FIRST, I WONDERED ABOUT THE NEEDS. AS WE CONTINUED, I REALIZED THE NEEDS. ON THE DAY OF OUR INTERVIEW, I FULLY REALIZED WHAT A TERRIFIC PRESENTATION HE HAD MADE OF ALL OUR PAPERS TO INS. I PRAISED ALEX KANNAN FOR HIS PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION OF FACTS. HE DEFINITELY PREPARED US FOR THE "WORST", AND RELIEVED US OF OUR WORRIES. WE WERE ELATED.
