Thank you!

It’s been a long process but Kevin made it happened. He is the one who give me not only comfort but helped me go through the process of getting my citizenship application approved. If not for Kevin, I wouldn’t be where I am now. I am finally truly free. Thank you Kevin.

Very accurate and precise!

I was looking for some legal address to send an immigration package and we were very dizzy with my husband. Thank god and some lawyers we could asure the address we found was correct to send over our stuff. Mr. Crabtree was one of those! :)

Amazing

I am a US citizen now and my very long and very difficult permanent residence process was handled so professionally by Mr. Crabtree and the office he works for that I do not only give their contact to people, I insist that they go and talk to them and hire them. The most professional and caring immig...ration lawyer you can get. If you have a chance he will work very hard to get you there.

Amazing

Kevin represented me twice, first while I was going through the immigration process and again a few years later when I applied to become a U.S. citizen. The work he did on my behalf on both occasions was second to none. Throughout this long and stressful period he gave me sound counsel and encourag...ement. He did a great deal of research and preparation. He always took the time to explain everything to me and to make sure I understood all my options as well as the possible outcomes of each option. I am so grateful for Kevin. He is the best.

My life today could be a disaster without Kevin.

I've Mr. Crabtree as my attorney for Asylum application a year ago. Before hiring him... I've hired some big-name, expensive but total ripped-off, well-known immigration attorney in San Francisco City, but the disappointments and the lack of communications with their clients, especially like most ...of us, the non U.S. citizen like me, a secure status, and keeping us inform with the progress of any kind of applications is rather important. After a big mess of the previous law-firm, I've found Mr. Crabtree thru a mutual friend. Not only a genuine smart with lots of knowledge, with his smart preparations for your cases, he is also a friendly, easy-to talk kinda guy. Less than 2 months (instead of having my court-date postpone to nine months or more later), I've successfully had my Asylum application granted, also glad that I have known a great person, a responsive, straightforward, and trustworthy friend. You've gotta try, you will only know. As for me, I've had enough of those cocky, big names with bad attitudes lawyers but does not do you any good.... Give Kevin a call, and at least have a talk with their law firm. Again, never try, never know.

  • 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.
