Don Lacsina Pangilinan

I had the opportunity to work with Don for my H-1B visa and Green Card application. I have worked and consulted with several other business immigration attorneys and I have to say that Don's knowledge and client service standout. He is very thorough and extremely diligent. He offers personalized s...ervices that you don't get when you work with some other firms. I would highly recommend him to anyone in my network that needs an immigration attorney.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Don Pangilinan several years ago when I needed assistance with H1B sponsorship for a job opportunity. My positive experience led us to pursuing his services again for our marriage based Green Card application in the last year. Over this time frame, I faced nume...rous personal challenges including the recent pandemic which further delayed an already complex immigration process. Mr. Pangilinan was simply brilliant in his expertise and judgment in navigating that process. Mr. Pangilinan's deep understanding of immigration related matters coupled with his remarkable problem-solving ability helped us overcome a number of hurdles on the path to permanent residency. His foresight in anticipating potential problems/scenarios and his ability to mitigate them always made us feel as though we were in safe hands under his guidance. His professionalism was evident in his prompt responses to all our queries by phone/email - including during a weekend! Moreover, his calm, unassuming and respectful demeanor always made us feel comfortable in our interactions with him. I recommend Mr. Pangilinan without hesitation to anyone seeking immigration advice or legal support.

I want to personally attest to Don and his team for their superb professional guidance and execution from initial consultation all the way through successful issuance of an IRl Visa for my wife -- and now green card -- official permission that allows her to be a lawful permanent resident of the Unite...d States of America, with work and travel authorizations. This is a day I could only have dreamt of just a short time ago. Don has been a true partner in this journey that began two years ago, a steadfast optimist in advocating for a clear approach to immigration. I have many people to thank for the gift of having my wife join me in the US and to becoming a family in my home country. Additionally, we now have a baby as well, a little miracle that became part of our story. Of all the people I have to thank for their support in this journey, Don rises above them all. He has conveyed a sense of dedication and urgency at each stage and always met my wife and me where we were, with a reassuring path forward. He conducted calls to accommodate time zones and was always responsive. This journey for my wife and I wasn't always easy and we felt the distance across the ocean and the hardship of being apart, as we dreamed one day of being together. We did not give up, but we pushed on. Don was steadfast as well. If not for Don's good judgement and counsel at many stages, I do not know what outcome we might have had. I trusted in my work with Don and most importantly, I trusted him. Immigration to the US, and international law is nuanced and Don helped us understand it, and helped us achieve the best possible outcome which was by no means a foregone conclusion. He has now helped give my family and me a chance at a life together here in the US that we may never have had. I am, and will be, forever grateful. I highly recommend Don and his team.

When, together with my wife, I made the decision to stay in the US and needed to understand and work on my legal status I was told to look for professional help at Philip Levin & Associates. And this recommendation did not come from a random web site or newspaper but from a highly respected immigrati...on attorney who was taking care of my case but needed to take a long break from work. I still remember her words: "they are very competent and extremely honest". Those words couldn't be more accurate. Since the very first meeting with Philip Levin and Don Pangalinan to the last interview with an INCIS officer, my wife and I felt that our immigration process was being taken care by professionals who not only are competent in what they do but also really good people. And I cannot emphasize enough how important it is. What they did for us went way beyond achieving our objective which was to get a work based green card for me and my wife. They understood our fears and frustrations, answered our never ending questions, and personally worked with us to surpass any obstacle on our way. During the whole process, Don Pangalinan stand by our side, always patient, always professional, always ready to share his knowledge and insights with us. He is a prepared professional, very accurate in his statements and never let us down. The green card process can be stressful and complicated but having Don with us in this journey made everything clear and as stress-free as possible. Wilson
