ダリルさんは信頼のできる弁護士さんです。

E-2ビザの更新にあたり日本語で対応してくれる弁護士さんを探していました。インターネットやフリーペーパーから何人か見つけ、最初に電話をかけたのがダリルさんでした。その時の電話のやりとりで、この人なら大丈夫そうだと感じあとの候補者には電話をかけることもせず、彼にお願いすることにしました。 結果は大変満足のいくものでした。必要書類の提出、質問等、ほとんどを e-mailですませられたことは、朝晩働いている私にとって、どれだけ助かったことでしょう。 また、アメリカ領事館への面接日の予約、面接に必要なフォームの提出、面接写真作成、面接費用の支払い等全てやっていただき、私たちは当日、ダリルさんに作成し...ていただいた提出書類を持って、安心して領事館へ行くことができました。 面接も非常にスムーズに進み無事にビザを更新することができました。 ダリルさんありがとうございました。信頼のできる弁護士さんを見つけることができ本当によかったです。

Very hard working, devoted, dedicated and efficient!!!

My H1B Visa petition was recently approved. I am very glad that I retained John Robert Egan LLC as migration counsel to handle my visa petition. When I look back, I think that I made the right decision in selecting my attorney. After reviewing H1B visa application for a few months, the United States... Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) demanded more evidence. USCIS sent us a Request for Evidence. That was the second time that I went through this type of paperwork to transfer my H1B to my new employer, and this time, the USCIS wanted a very fast response from me. Also, this Request for Evidence was more challenging because it wanted an evaluation of the evidence pertaining to my qualifications, in addition to documents from my employer. The evidence pertaining to my qualifications was difficult, but not unavailable. However, the USCIS has very specific criteria for the evaluator who would review my educational qualifications and experiences, and finding the right evaluator was very challenging. The law firm, in particular Attorney Mr. Daryl Takeno, invested a huge amount of time and effort in gathering all the necessary evidence. Mr. Takeno’s and the firm’s guidance was very helpful. Mr. Takeno went out of his way and used his personal contacts for some of the evidence. In addition, he did a vast amount of research to make this case strong. As mentioned earlier, finding the right evaluator to assess my qualification and experience was well-nigh impossible. Very few organizations in the US both meet the USCIS requirements and also have evaluators available while the tight schedule added to the difficulties. Only Mr. Takeno’s constant effort made it possible. I am very satisfied with the service provided by Mr. Takeno and his law firm. Mr. Takeno is very hard working, efficient, devoted, and dedicated, and he can feel for his client. Attorneys cannot guarantee the success of the case. During the time when my case was under USCIS review, I was comforted because I had a very strong feeling that my attorney, and his law firm, were using maximum effort, and trying their best to make my case strong, and finally to get it approved! Thank you so very much Mr. Takeno and Migration Counsel team!

Awesome work with Daryl Takeno

Since 2011, Mr. Daryl Takeno was doing all my immigration paper work. He has been awesome work and also very reliable. Whenever, whatever, I have any problems, he always contacted me directly and advise how to solve. He is the greatest immigration lawyer ever I met.

Very thorough

We came to Daryl with a somewhat complicated case. One that involved immigration and a divorce. Daryl not only handled the immigration case but also filed a divorce related to the case. We really liked how he walked through the entire process and backed up his course of action with regulations/l...aws. He provided a contract with details on the services he would provide and flexible payment options. When we had questions or concerns, he was receptive and often accommodated our requests. His availability was very flexible. Phone calls and emails were answer within the same day or 24hrs.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Since the Supreme Court decided that criminal defense attorneys are required to look into the immigration consequences of every case, Mr. Takeno has become my go-to resource answering all problems, no matter how convoluted or basic, with a patience that I rarely see in fellow lawyers. I have referred multiple immigration cases to Daryl and all were highly satisfied. I have heard from personal friends that he was calm and patient with them as he walked them through the necessary procedures to naturalize their wives. I also had him step into a particular deportation case and navigate the thorns with tact and knowledge. For immigration issues, Daryl is the person I trust explicitly."
