Devin T Theriot-Orr's Lawyer Endorsements
"Devin is absolutely brilliant, and one of the kindest people you will ever meet. We are currently working on a few matters together and I am continually amazed at the depth of his knowledge, as well as his ability to untangle even the most complicated legal issues, and find solutions where other attorneys could not. He is one of the most well-respected lawyers in the Washington Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and with good reason. I cannot recommend him enough."
"Not merely an extraordinary immigration attorney, but a pillar of the immigration bar."
"In hiring Devin a client is not only getting the services of an extremely bright mind in the immigration legal field, he also has the benefit of working with a kind, creative, and zealous advocate. I have been Devin's colleague for five years: he comes to work everyday with his clients' best interests in mind and is committed to exhausting every option on their behalf. I wholeheartedly recommend his services."
"Devin has earned a reputation among the local and also national immigration law community for being a formidable litigator, who is unafraid to take on complex cases and see them through to a successful outcome with skill, diligence, and compassion. He is competent, intelligent, warm, and humble - a rare combination."
"I worked together with Devin during my time at Gibbs, Houston, Pauw. Devin is a committed, intelligent and compassionate attorney. He was also a wonderful mentor. I fully endorse this lawyer; if I had an immigration issue, he is the first person I would go to."
