Excellent Attorney on my E-2 case

Jacob is a great attorney. I had 4 cases with him already and all of them were a success. He is very smart, think outside the box and prepare a solid case. I recently applied for my E-2 with Jacob's firm. everything was pretty straightforward. We went through business plan together and planned the fu...ture of the business on solid grounds. Lupe took good care of our case with the vision of Jacob. Highly recommend him

Helped once more!!!

This team is amazing. This is the second time I'm reviewing them because their help is truly a blessing. Jacob Sapochnick's team helped me with my F1 student status two years ago, which was approved without issues. Now, just yesterday, I got granted a green card, and I can stay with my husband in the... U.S. forever, cherishing our lives! Jacob's team always treats each case individually, making it look as if it were their only one. Their responses to questions are prompt and to the point, making them a very professional group. Me and my husband will be forever grateful for their unbelievable help in our journey to making our dreams come true. We wish you all the best!!!

Top notch professional immigration knowledge

We were looking for experts in immigration and H1-B in particular. We were referred to Jacob and his team by another friend who highly recommended him and we have just completed the process with Jacob and are very satisfied from the level of subject matter expertise, exceptional personal service and ...overall success in achieving the end result. Jacob and his team evaluated several options and have recommended the path and approach that would work the best for us, while educating us on the details so that we feel informed and confident in the process. We'll be looking forward to continue and work with Jacob and his firm in the future!

The Best Immigration Lawyer office in usa

Working with Jacob on my L1 immigration process was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Before i chose to work with the Jacob office i passed no fewer than eight lawyers. Despite the concerns from the large distances and after the consultation on the phone i got the impression that ...this is the lawyer office that i will hired to work on my case. This office has a great team to work with. Not only are they committed and skilled, but they also partner with you every step of the way. They quick to answer emails, easy to access via phone, and was such a help throughout the whole process. I had a very difficult immigration case which was turned down by not 1 but 3 immigration lawyers who told me it was not impossible. Thanks to the amazing Kate and inese so professional that worked on my case phenomenal I am the happy men in the world that found this office. Highly recommend everybody. This the best Immigration lawyer office in usa don't think twice hired them.

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.
