My Immigration Process

Kapesh was recommended to us by my cousins Luis Salas who used Kapesh services in the past. Our first meeting with Kapesh was short, but he gave us “hope” that our case was would be approved. Kapesh our together a fantastic application packet that was processed with no issue. We are very happy with ...the outcome and the successful immigration process he delivered. My wife and I will be eternally grateful to Kapesh for that. I would recommend Kapesh service to everyone that needs immigration services.

Outstanding and beyond service

I have been working with Mr. Kapesh for more that 20 months in a unique immigration case (EB1). I fully respect his work; the relationship with me and my company has always been available and open. Even though we had some "external" block, his preparation and support with his associates made me feel ...supported and listened. I fully recommend Mr. Kapesh!!

Immigration Services

KP!!! What a great guy to work with! I was born and raised in the US, Mojave desert to be exact, and married an Ethiopian woman after meeting her of all places on Tinder! LOL I recently turned 43 year old and never married before this but luckily for me, God had a master plan for my life. I just ha...d to be patient. My wife is the best thing that ever happened to me. After we got married it only took 9 months to get her Green card because of Kapesh's tireless effort and never say die attitude. He guided us through the entire process. And let me tell you the process of obtaining a Green card is not easy. It is confusing and unforgiving. It requires a mountain of paperwork and proof to get approval. And it takes experience and knowledge to navigate what seems at times to be an endless sea of documentation. Kapesh has mastered the system and knew exactly what was necessary to obtain approval. But even more importantly Kapesh is always patient and kind, making the process as painless as possible. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing immigration legal services.

Super personable & knowledgeable attorney

I engaged Kapesh V Patel to represent my wife and I in an immigration based matter for my greencard. KP was super responsive throughout the whole process and would get generally back to me within 24 hours. From our first meeting with KP we felt right at ease - he was easy to talk to and clearly kno...wledgeable on the subject. KP gave us a list of everything we needed to compile and we got to it. We had a fairly complicated application due to multiple financial sponsors, which KP managed with ease. He went over every document meticulously and asked us to re-scan documents that were “not-professional” enough for his high standards. The application was submitted and I had my greencard in hand 127 days later. This is incredibly fast by any measure. His fees are very reasonable and I would happily recommend his services (certainly for immigration matters).

Thank you letter

Dear Attorney Mr. Kapesh Patel, The purpose of this letter is to salute you with my very sincerely thoughts. First I would like to thank you for helping me in my criminal case, because you are a very experience attorney, you were able to convince the District Attorney to reduce my sentence signifi...cantly. By doing this for me, I was able to keep my job because my sentence was reduced. The previous attorneys that I hired were not able to help the way you did. Also I would like to thank you for showing me a sincere concern about my well been for me and my family, not only like my attorney but also as a good friend. Most of the times you ether answered my phone calls or you returned my calls the same day. The previous attorneys never showed me any signs of sincere consideration, I felt like I was just another client for them. One example is that I called them a few times and they never returned my calls. Finally I will express my sincere recommendations to any person that need to hire a Criminal/Immigration Attorney. Sincerely, Benito

"I have had the opportunity to work with Kapesh Patel on many occasions. I find him to be professional, courteous, and knowledgeable in his multiple practice areas. Kapesh is easy to talk to, and understands the needs of the everyday person. He will do his very best to help his clients, and every person I have ever sent him has been satisfied with the outcome. I have seen him put great time and effort into both the matters at hand, and into his relationships with his clients. I would not hesitate to work with him again or send him clients for any reason, and to me, that is the highest compliment I can pay any attorney."
