Greg McLawsen

Avoid this clown at all costs . This clown is incomprehensibly incompetent, clownish , runs a poorly managed network of wannabe clowns , ( think circus !! ). Someone ought to tell the justice department that this clown is ruining the circus for everyone else . But don't just take my word f...or it, see for yourself.

Married to US citizen and he wanted to break the marriage so we went into separation. During the separation I was jobless and had no income to support myself. I was living in rented apartment where it was difficult for to pay rent and manage other utility bills. USC was liable to pay all those becaus...e he had signed i864 support form while sponsoring me as his dependent. Only he was paying rent and power bill which was not sufficient. I had live my life I had other expenses as well. But he denied to take care of her food, medicine, transportation etc. As a victim of domestic violence and harassment from my husband I had to search for help both for divorce and Immigration attorney. I knew i864 form provides some support but how exactly it is applicable I was not sure on it. During my search for i864 support I found Greg McLawsen he was excellent in his response first he understood my case and then he told how I would benefited through i864 being dependent. He was very clear, transparent and very professional in his work. Greg did awesome job during the claim as he made sure he explained to my husband's attorney consequence of failing to pay i864 and made them pay for it. I am really thankful for Greg support in i864 claim. He is very reliable and supportive attorney Thank you. Greg for all your help and support.

I originally went to Tacoma community house for advise trying to save a few bucks and honestly I regret my decision. I enter the United States with out inspection and I submitted my immigration package with out doing the proper steps and I just found this out when I got a letter from immigration giv...ing me a timeline and requesting more evidence , I decided I had to contact a attorney , I looked online and I found Greg with great reviews so I gave him a call I spoke to him directly on the phone about my case and he gave me an appointment immediately, I went in for my consultation and he was so nice and friendly and he advise me on what to do in my case, he did the paperwork for me with in a few days and now we're just waiting for a response, Greg was seriously amazing and so helpful. He works with you and your needs. I would seriously recommend him to anyone who needs advise or help with immigration . He is a professional and all of his staff , all I have to say is that I wish I would of contacted him since the beginning it would of saved me a lot of trouble. I'm very thankful for all Greg and the law firm did for me.

We are so thankful for all the help we received from Greg McLawsen. He is so kind, and assisted us out of the goodness of his heart, agreeing to represent us pro bono because we could not afford an immigration attorney. We were pretty much about to give up after I was turned away from the US border m...ultiple times starting in early November 2013, and ending in late December when I finally got across. I was told I could not go and visit my husband (who I had been married to for over a year and a half) with an I-130 pending as I was an “intending immigrant” by their definition. He was an active duty military veteran, and I had just graduated from Naturopathic medical school. I was not yet working, and they said to be allowed across I had to show proof of working for at least a year to show I still had ties to Canada, and did not intend to stay in the US. I was unable to show them this, as I had been attending full time medical school for the past four years. The more times we tried to get me across, the meaner the border officers got, and at one point they even threatened to throw away thousands of dollars of my medical equipment that I had accidently left in my husband’s car. At this point we had had enough, and were wondering what we could possibly do on our limited budget. My husband compiled a huge list of immigration attorney’s in the state of Washington, and started calling them all to see if there was any advice or help that they could offer free of charge or low cost. We had no luck until we came across Greg McLawsen. We explained our situation, and luckily he agreed to help us. Right before Christmas, Greg came to meet us at the Peace Arch border crossing in Canada. He had prepared a document to accompany us, so that we could apply for Port of Entry Parole based on humanitarian reasons, and because my husband was active duty military. The border guards at secondary inspection refused to even speak to Greg, said I had no right to representation, and then sent him away. They refused to even look at the document he had so meticulously prepared. A few days later, my husband called to tell me we would be on Komo 4 news in a couple hours, and that they’d have me on via skype. On this news broadcast, Greg appeared and brought to light the often grim reality of the immigration system. The point he brought home is that I had been treated more harshly by immigration than I would have been if I had just “hopped the fence” and gotten into the US illegally. This highlighted the unfairness of a memorandum enacted by the Obama administration last November, which allowed military spouses who were illegally in the US to stay. I was informed on this same news broadcast that, thanks to Greg involving the media, that immigration had relented, and I would be granted Port of Entry Parole for a year. This year would allow me enough time to adjust my status legally, and obtain a Green card so I could begin working as a Naturopathic Doctor in the US. Though the process of obtaining work authorization is not yet complete, I have confidence that with Greg's expertise it soon will be. Just to finally be able to live with my husband after 11 months apart (9 months of him in Afghanistan earlier that year and the previous year, and two months of me not being allowed in the US) was the greatest Christmas gift I could have gotten, and would not have been possible without Greg’s efforts. I highly recommend Greg McLawsen, as he holds all the qualities of a great lawyer, plus he has a big heart which aren't what you’d expect from the average lawyer. Greg isn’t average though, he is extraordinary, and will get the job done even if it means thinking outside the box, and doing what has never been done. He doesn’t give up, and pursues a case, with tenacity, to completion, no matter how daunting it may seem.
