I've hired Zach to write an opinion letter to the judge about the immigration consequences of a potential criminal conviction. He worked closely with my criminal defense attorney and I was impressed by his knowledge on the subject. In the process of drafting the letter, Zach was very open about discu...ssing the content with me. In the end, his opinion letter served to influence the decision given by the court. One of the best aspects of working with Zach is that he is very responsive and eager to give advice to the client. He is very quick to responding to my emails and doesn't hesitate offering his advice, even on subjects he was not paid to give advice on. He is also very up-to-date on the latest rulings in the 9th circuit. If you are looking for an immigration attorney in the Bay area about immigration consequences of criminal cases, I think Zach Nightingale is your best option.

He does everything by the book, not too intuitive. Quite expensive! Expect $20,000 + for simple immigration case involving deportation. I had good lawyers in the past. Won all my cases. Mr. Nightingale however was terminated after $30k hole in my pocket and unable to close my case. Had to hire new la...wyer.

Zach is one of the sharpest attorneys I've met. He's very meticulous and truly cares about preparing a bulletproof path to full-on immigration and naturalization into the United States. He's also quite up to date on recent 9th Circuit rulings. His experience with criminal defense that comes together ...with the ever-changing and sometimes counter-intertuitive immigration law is invaluable.
