Jacob Jan Sapochnick

My experience for EB1A with this law firm was frustrating and disappointing. I initially chose them for their reputation in handling complex immigration cases, but the lack of transparency and professionalism became apparent as the process went on. There were privacy issues with document handling as ...I was directed to upload my confidential materials into a folder where I had access to other clients documents. The billing itself lacked transparency. There were no time logs or explanations tied to specific work. The invoice read more like a checklist of my uploaded documents than a breakdown of tasks performed. I expected professional accountability, not vague references to supposed work that can’t be verified. I felt unheard, unsupported, and overbilled. For the cost involved and the stakes at hand, I expected far more professionalism, communication, and care. I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience.

well , i had a long journey looking for an immigration lawyer doing E2 change status, i was on B1/B2 visa, made 3 interviews with different lawyers , all of them gave me different requirements , and some of them were really hard to to prove, then i searched for a lawyer in my area where i'm, and i wa...s looking based on the highest reviews, so i emailed 3 or 4 of the highest rankings, Jacob office was one of them(that was in dec2024), the only one responded was Jacob office , a nice guy called Julio and started answering my questions by phone calls and emails, and kept following up with me with no charges, tell i decided to proceed as time was passing fast( i had to do premium processing to catch my i94 before expire). then i got email from my case manager and attorney , Anahita the attorney , kely was the case manager, both are so nice and understanding , they made looks easy for me during a zoom call to review my case and the requirements . Honestly they asked for a lot , but when something was really hard to be applied Anahita find the solutions. I paid 50% of the fees upfront, and they started preparations, that was hardest part, after case ready to file i paid the other 50% and they file the case with the premium processing. i totally trusted them from the beginning but i was still afraid of any failure or asking for more procedures from the immigration dept., well i got that email telling me my case got approved. I highly recommend this office for an E2 visa as my experience with them was satisfying. thank you.

I was referred to Jacob by a friend. I applied for the O1 visa. Ms. Marie handled my case. Both Marie and Jacob have been proactive and supportive through the whole process. They were easy to access and helped me understand the nuances of the process. Marie is brilliant at preparing the applica...tion! Jacob is friendly and he steps in from time to time to overlook everything. I can now say that these are people who really want you to win. I would recommend them without a doubt! I got my O1 approved in one go!

I highly recommend Sapochnick law firm, they made my O-1 visa case as strong as possible which got approval in less than 10 days, with no RFE and special thanks to Unica. She is very knowledgeable and was always responsive, clarifying my doubts throughout the entire process and cared about every step... of the process as much as myself… Looking forward to working with you all in the future.

I contacted this attorney through a message with the comment that I only wanted to be contacted via email so that I could organize a consultation with one of my employees that is out of the country. I received a call nearly 3 minutes later from a woman who is from this firm. She was very rude through...out her call. She was very abrupt with all her questions and barely listened to my responses before asking new questions. When I told her what type of Visa my company was interested in pursuing, she instantly rejected it as viable without listening to me fully that we wanted to work towards getting it in the future. Upon notifying her that I had a meeting starting in 3 minutes and that I had initially requested that we scheduled time over email to include my relevant employee, she said "Ok, I will email you" and abruptly ended the call. It was not a professional interaction, she did not even read the message that I had initially sent in, and it was barely even listening to my responses or clarifications during the call. We will not be working with this firm because of this interaction.
