A pleasure to work wiith

Froman Law Firm guided me through a significant change in my immigration status, a process that spanned many years. From the very begining, David and his associates and staff were responsive and attentive. I live in Missouri and was still able to meet with David as well and correspond easily by phon...e and/or email. David's responses were always timely. Because of his vast knowledge and expertise with immigration law, David prepared me for every step of the process and advised me on what to anticipate. I am truly grateful for David's expertise, proficiency and accessibility and would highly reccommend him. Thank you David for facilitating a life-changing situation for me! KC - Missouri

Very Meticulous and Thorough

Before I contacted David Froman, my green card application, over a ten year period, was rejected three times, and my several prior appeals were also denied. David was very meticulous and thorough in preparing my case, and articulated the same very nicely, which resulted in the approval of my case. Da...vid has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the immigration law, and he is very professional in his approach. I would highly recommend Froman Law Firm for all immigration matters.

Great Immigration attorney!

I felt like I had an impossible situation in trying to obtain my green card. I had found my self aged out of the system due to the immigration services many misstakes in missplacing my paper work. In addition, because I was aged out, I had no one that could file for me. Mr. Froman worked very hard... researching all the new laws that were coming into affect and figuring out one that applied to me. It came at just the right time. I was able to transfer to the four year university of my dreams.

  • 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.
