Magic

My name is Ismael I was a victim of an injustice in Vallejo where I committed a mistake that entrapped me into a situation that severed my immigration process for long years without any remedy available for me, it was an impossible case to solve, not one attorney in this world could help me vacate th...at old felony.... Mr Ben was the only soul capable, if I had to give a word to his service it would be: Magic. Thank you Sir for your professional and outstanding service !

Criminal and immigration case

Ben vacated my aggravated felony and won my Immgration case appeal with BIA and got my green card, now I am happy I can be a citizen of USA and Mr Hall is going to handl...e my citizenship case as well. Thank you Mr Hall I am hoping people like me will read this and know there is a hope and a good Attorny like you who will fight for there client!

Excellent immigration lawyer

I am so fortunate to have found Ben. He helped me through every step of the way. He is so PROFESSIONAL and RELIABLE. My case was semi-complicated, when I first came to Ben I was in removing procedures and also in the middle of applying for my green card through my husband who’s a citizen. Ben sy...mpathize with my case and he never judge me in any way, I felt like he was a good friend someone whom I could confide in. I had at least four courts with the immigration judge and Ben always knew what he was doing and always did what was best in my case. He was always so positive and pleasant to talk to thanks to him I was able to obtain my green card. Thank you Ben!!!!!

Knowledgeable and friendly

I worked with Mr Hall on a criminal case that could have a great negative impact on my immigration status. He, along with Mr Eckdish, worked with my criminal lawyer and they advised him of the next steps in order to not have my visa revoked. I'm very glad I worked with him!

The Best Immigration Lawyer

Looking for the best Lawyer to represent me with my Immigration Papers - Change of status was a very stressful thing to do. I enquired with the first Immigration lawyer that I was referred to was not able to handle my case. My case was one of those tricky, difficult case to deal with. I wasn’t refer...red to Benjamin Hall but with prayerful search online I came out with 4 Immigration lawyers here at the San Mateo County and I contacted them on the same day, giving them a brief explanation of my case, my contact etc. After sending all my emails, and calls to these offices, I thought to myself whoever will reply to my calls/emails first, that person will be the one that I will work with. Benjamin Hall was the first Lawyer to contacted me that same day. So we started on that very same day (July 2018) to work on my case. He works diligently, patiently with me all through the process of my change of status up to last Friday, 26th April. I got a call from him that he received my approval letter from Immigration re my green card without an interview which is rarely happens. I recommended Benjamin Hall as a trustworthy, honest, and very down to earth person to work with although there were other lawyers who advise me not to work with him but I strongly trusted him that he was a Godly sent to work on my case.
