The Best immigration lawyer!

I would like to thank Jacob Sapochnick and his associates for all of there help getting my fiance Assaf David back to the states after we were apart for over two years(after being together 8 years). The whole team really helped us through the most stressful time in both of our lives! We previously h...ad a horrible lawyer who gave us bad advice and didn't even spell Assaf's name right on the legal documents. After this we were lost on what to do next until Assaf found Jacob. After our first talk he answered all of our questions and guided us on what to do next with the K1 visa. Assaf was in Israel and I am in Cincinnati so we did everything online or over the phone. Jacob and his staff were very helpful and informative, they answered all of our questions promptly and professionally! We ended up having to do two different waivers the 212 & 601 and everything was done perfectly. We will do all of our future immigration processes with Jacob and only Jacob! I would highly recommend Jacob and his legal team to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer because he is the BEST! We are now happily together for 3 days and looking forward to our wedding! Thank you so much for everything Bridgette Clark & Assaf David

Jacob is the best Lawyer I've ever worked with

I've successfully applied for TN-Status three times now and Jacob has made what is a stressful situation as smooth as seems humanely possible. He and his team have answered every email and call I've made quickly and to my satisfaction and I've asked a lot of questions because of worry over the years.... Thanks Jacob and team for your patience! I highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for Legal help getting a Visa!

Wonderfull experience with Jacob's office

I am really thankful to Jacob and his really skilled team. I wanted to apply for Eb2 NIW green card, but I wasnt sure my case would be strong enough or if I have a chance. Jacob was really reassuring and gave me the reassurance to prepare the application. I thus worked closely with Kate, she is NIW e...xpert lawyer in Jacob's office. She helped me through the preparation of the documentation for the application, and thanks to her and Jacob we submit a really strong case. 6 months later I received my approval notice, I was really surprised as I expected some request for additional documents. Thanks to Jacob Sapochnick's law office high skill and enthusiasm my green card application went smoothly. I can't be more grateful to Jacob, I'll recommend him and his staff to everyone looking for help in their green card application.

Wonderful Immigration Attorney

I don't know how it happened, but before even meeting with JACOB J. SAPOCKNICK our US Immigration Lawyer, we had his cell phone number. This is how close Jacob is to his clients. During our meeting Jacob listened to me with great attention. Actually, I was trying to apply for the US CITIZENSHIP an...d I needed help with the N-400. When I explained to him my situation, he listened to me with great attention. Very quickly, he told me what, in my case, was important in the eyes of The Immigration Services. After that, he guided us so, my husband and I could fill out properly the questionnaire. Without pressuring us, he made sure to have every thing sent to his office on time. How he did it remains a mystery! Any way, once all the information and documents he needed ready and only at that time he gave my file to one of his associates so she can work on my N-400 Application. Marie did a very meticulous job. But, as I still had questions, I continued to write and call Jacob. He never let my questions unanswered. He really works diligently. My request to the Immigration Services was sent in no time. On September 11 I was in front of the Immigration Officer. Thanks to Jacob and his assistant advice I did very well. My request was granted! Today I'm waiting for the Ceremony to be Officially declared Proud American Citizen! The Law Offices of JACOB J. SAPOCNICK is really a great firm. Jacob and his team are wonderful human beings who treat their clients like Royals. More importantly, they know the American Immigration System inside out. With JACOB SAPOCNICK you are in very good hands! So If you need help talk to JACOB and let him work things out for you While you enjoy the sun of California...I DID!

Very good experience

We were very nervous, but Jacob reassured us throughout the entire green card process. We had seen another lawyer previously who was very discouraging, but when we came to Jacob, he told us it would be no problem- and it was true! We were approved, and are very grateful to Jacob, Katie, and Nadia f...or all of their help and patience!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
