Highly recommended!!

We found Jacob Sapochnick few years ago, as we were searching for an immigration attorney. We asked for a meeting and we received one in a very short amount of time. Most lawyers were very hesitant about our situation, but Jacob listened carefully, analyzed the options that we could to proceed and g...ave us hope. A few months later and this hope turned to reality. Jacob was personally available at all times and we felt confident and reassured while going through the immigration process. We cannot thank him enough for his care, compassion and work ethic. While working with Jacob and his team members throughout the few cases that our family required, they all been very professional and attentive to our needs. In this opportunity we would like to give a special Thank You to Inese Grate that provided us an exceptional performance and a new level of customer service. If you are looking for immigration offices by all means, go to “Law Offices of Jacob Sapochnick”, you will get the most professional, knowledgeable and attentive lawyers. Highly recommended!!

The best!

Jacob was the best immigration lawyer for me and my family. Jacob took care of all the paperwork with super professionalism, with a true sense of urgency and always followed up. He and his team were super sensitive and we felt very secure in Jacob’s care. We eventually, in his projected time of 4 wee...ks, got our E2 visas.

Great Support

This Immigration Law Firm provides outstanding service. Jacob and his team helped me with my I-601 case and I became a resident of the U.S. a few weeks ago. Thank you Jacob and team!

O1 business visa

I started my visa process super stressful but Jacob and his workers did their best to help me bring all the documents that are required! I was fully supported by them and eventually after 4 months i sent my file and got approval for O1 just in 5 days! No doubt ill do my green card process with them... in the future!

Avvo Rating

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.
