Exceptional Immigration Attorney!

Peter is truly extraordinary. From the very beginning, he fought for us with dedication, precision, and genuine care. The process was incredibly stressful and deeply personal, but Peter made every step feel manageable through his patience, clarity, and unwavering commitment. He consistently went abo...ve and beyond—clearly explaining complex details, responding promptly, and always ensuring we felt informed and supported. It never once felt like we were just another case. Peter genuinely cared about our outcome, and that made all the difference. When we received the news that our case was approved, Peter celebrated with us. He understood how meaningful this milestone was and treated it with the importance it deserved. We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Peter!

Peter is best lawyer!

Peter is such a good lawyer! The green card application process is stressful, especially in the current political climate. Peter put our minds at ease from the very beginning. He was thorough and patient in walking us through the process, and we felt supported the whole way. He is on top of everythin...g! He responds to emails so fast. He was thorough in preparing us for the interview and on all the paperwork. He came with us to the interview and helped us feel safe during it. He has relationships with the immigration officers and was able to provide timely follow ups with our officer after our interview, and provided us with updates. My case was approved, and we could not be more thankful for everything Peter did for us! Highly recommend his services if you are looking for an immigration lawyer. I fully intend on hiring him again when I apply for citizenship!

Wonderful Experience!

When we began my husband’s green card journey, I was hesitant about if we really needed a lawyer since we are both detail oriented people and thought we might be able to handle our case ourselves. However, we realized quickly how confusing things can be and the challenge it would be to do while balan...cing our lives. Working with Peter alleviated so much stress and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with him. Peter gave us peace of mind in a way that exceeded all of my expectations. Peter provided such prompt case updates that we rarely checked our case portal due to our confidence in him and his communication. What would’ve otherwise been an anxiety ridden process was transformed into a process where we could relax and trust in him and his team. Everyone we interacted with on his team has been incredibly kind, caring, responsive, and detailed. When we initially met Peter we felt at ease and instantly knew we were in good hands. Peter continually impressed us throughout the entire process and Livia was wonderful to work with in preparing our documents. The due diligence, reputation, and preparedness of his team allowed our case to be approved seamlessly and much quicker than we ever thought possible. Peter is empathetic and is it clear that he truly cares about his clients. He is a rare find and a wonderful person. We are so thankful to have worked with him!

An immigration attorney who genuinely wants to see you succeed !

Peter is an exceptional immigration lawyer. He is very meticulous, professional, and truly cares about his clients. During my Adjustment of Status for my Green Card journey, he was not only a fantastic attorney but also a genuine friend who advocated for me at every turn. His whole team is incredibl...y responsive, organized, and quick to communicate. They clarified each step of the process and consistently made me feel supported and less anxious. Thanks to Peter and his team, what could have been a daunting experience felt manageable and well-directed. I wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone in need of trustworthy, compassionate, and effective immigration legal support.

Gets the Job Done with a Smile!!

Working with KILO Immigration has been such a blessing for us. Going through the immigration process through marriage can be stressful and emotional, but Peter and Livia made everything feel manageable and even reassuring from start to finish. Peter stood out right away — he didn’t just treat us l...ike clients; he truly connected with us on a personal level. It genuinely felt like he was on our side, invested in our story, and determined to help us every step of the way. That kind of sincerity is rare, especially in this type of law, and it meant the world to us. Both Peter and Livia were thorough, attentive, and incredibly compassionate. They explained everything clearly, stayed transparent throughout the entire process, and made sure we always understood what was happening. We never felt lost or overwhelmed — instead, we felt supported, informed, and at ease. Thanks to their care, expertise, and kindness, the whole journey went smoothly, and we’re so grateful for the outcome. If you’re looking for a team that combines professionalism with genuine heart, KILO Immigration is absolutely the place to go.
