Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Martin Lawyer is a true expert when it comes to immigration matters, and he is particularly adept at professional employment and investor cases. He is careful and thorough in his analysis, and knows the "ins and outs" of government regulations, statutes, and court cases like no one else."

Immigration lawyer | Feb 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Martin knows it all when it comes to employment based immigration and even wrote the bible, "It's a Matter of Degree" on H1B work visas. His opinion is sought out by other attorneys working on difficult immigration cases across the country. He particularly shines when it comes to immigrant investors, having successfully gotten green cards for over 80 investor families. There are other fine immigration attorneys in SF, but Martin stands out from the pack by his wealth of knowledge and experience."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
