Recommendation for Bob Pauw

Bob and his team are outstanding. They researched my case and provided an excellent strategic approach. And they left no stone unturned in providing a brief that was on point for the case at hand. Their argument and documentation addressed specific gaps between laws in different jurisdictions. Thei...r process in dealing with delays was on point, and we obtained a favorable resolution in a quite short time period. I have no hesitation in recommending Bob and team for any and all immigration law matters.

Recommendation for Mr. Robert Pau

We were very impressed with Mr. Robert Pauw's legal services. My wife's case was very complicated, and he navigated through all the challenges very successfully to help her get her Green Card, and most importantly her USA citizenship. He always did what he said he would try to do, and was very acce...ssible and affable. I would highly recommend him as one of the best, if not the best, immigration lawyers. His staff was also very helpful.

Robert Pauw - Board of Immigration Appeal - Reveiw

Robert Pauw represented me in a case appealing a CBP decision before the BIA . Robert took the time to listen to me and understand my case fully. He made excellent recommendations about our approach based on his experience before the BIA on such matters. My experience was excellent and I highly re...commend Robert.

Always delivers without making any fuss!

Robert is one lawyer that has changed my perspective and respect for all lawyers. He delivered the happiest news of my life to me when he solved an old and not so hopeful immigration case. His work on my case allowed me once again to return to the US which previously I wasn’t able to. I have 100% t...rust in his work and everything he advises me on. He gets the job done and delivers without making a big deal about it. Never any excuses or useless speeches. I have recommended Robert to anyone around who has immigration matter and have told them you would be a fool if you hire any other lawyers before you have a consultation with Robert. Robert really looks after the interest of his clients and is never looking for a quick cash grab. Robert thank you for the outmost professionalism and the amazing service you have provided me on my case. You are one talented and bright legal counsel ! Mani

I fully recommend Robert Pauw

Mr. Pauw obtained my green card in 2010, and recently helped me to renew it. His wealth of knowledge and many years of experience are reassuring. His professionalism and that of his staff, responsiveness to client communications and reasonable fees, are also why I would highly recommend him to any ...new client, homa.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
