Extremely Insightful Advice!

I had consulted Paul on various matters related to my F1 visa status and employment. He was able to quickly answer all of my questions and give me a very clear idea of what I am and what I am not allowed to do. He also provided a lot of useful advice on what documents I should keep on record and how ...I can apply for other visa status after graduating from school. He went way out of his way to provide useful advice beyond what I was asking for. Also he is a very kind person. Thank you again! I highly recommend Paul!

Excellent legal counsel for visa services--highly recommended

Mr. Bertoni was knowledgeable, professional, and patient. We had a phone consultation followed by a long video session. His fees were more than worth the excellent legal counsel provided for an immigration-related inquiry. Not only did he take the time to explain the complexity of the different steps... in our current stage of the visa application but he also anticipated possible questions before we even formulated them. We feel confident with our long-term roadmap thanks to his diligence. Working with Mr. Bertoni was a pleasure. He reduced so much of the stress as we navigate these waters. My partner and I enthusiastically recommend his services, and we will surely consult Mr. Bertoni again for any further legal inquiries in the visa-application process.

I highly recommend Paul's services

Paul has been key in driving several visa applications for our US organisation for about 2 years now. He is highly knowledgeable and professional. He has the ability to clearly communicate and educate me on the immigration process, always trying to get the best option. His French speaking skill was a...lso a great help.

  • 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.
