Very good attorney

He as helped our family. First with my dad's citizenship and then helped my mom, my brother and I get our green cards. Later we referred my uncle; he also helped him with his citizenship and to bring my aunt and my cousins to the U.S. He is very professional and has always been honest about everyt...hing. The only issue, which is extremely minor, would be the paralegals his office chooses to hire. One of the paralegals was very rude and not very professional; she was working with on my uncle’s case and made a mistake that delayed their immigration process a lot. We had to work with her a lot as she was the bilingual paralegal. Fortunately, Patrick was able to fix that issue. Additionally, she was always extremely rude to my aunt when she would call his office and ask for him, I think she took advantage of the fact that my aunt needed her for translating. So I had to start calling his office for on my aunt's behalf whenever she would need anything from his office. It has been long since we worked with Patrick and I don’t know if this woman still there. Hopefully she is not, because she ruined the very good experience we had experienced with Patrick before she was hired.

outstanding attorney

He was brilliant enough to help us continuously in every immigration issues that our family had. He had been very truthful since the very start with the possibilities between winning and failing our case. We gave him all our trust and he surely didn't let us down. Our case had been one of those nearl...y impossible to solve but with his help we were able to surpassed it. He has been very supportive and so dependable. He communicates with us every now and then and try to answer all our questions. He made sure that we did understand everything and kept us updated. Now we're very happy and still thankful for all his help. We indeed choose the right attorney!

"I have known Patrick Cantor since 2003, when I was working as a Canadian immigration lawyer in a very busy immigration law office in Seattle. In 2008, I had the opportunity to work at Patrick's office as a contract attorney. Patrick Cantor is a wonderful attorney with a sound knowledge of immigration law. He has been very helpful to me and has provided me with support on very complex issues related to immigration law. Patrick is very devoted to his clients and work. He always provides outstanding legal representation to his clients and the cases he handles have a high rate of approval. Therefore, I refer Patrick all my clients dealing with deportation and asylum because of his vast expertise in that area. I fully endorse Patrick Cantor and his work."
