One of the best immigration lawyers

Patrick is the best attorney I have ever hired. He has helped me with my citizenship case and I have referred numerous friends and family to Patrick and his law firm. He is compassionate, ethical, dedicated, hardworking, and intelligent.

Mr. Cantor is truly a life saver

I hired Mr. Cantor on my very complicated case and this decision has changed my life forever. HE IS REALLY A LIFE SAVER!! Not only he was extremely knowledgable, he truly cared about his clients and their successes. He could be a little uncomfortably straightforward sometimes, but he only wanted the ...best for his clients. He knew he was good, therefore he was very confident and he took pride in all everything he did. The fees were very reasonable, too. I have to say I am forever grateful, and can't thank him enough for helping me with my difficult case. Please don't miss out on Patrick, when it comes to immigration, I assure this is your to-go lawyer :)

the best immagration lawyer in washington!

What amazing experience. Patrick Cantor is a great lawyer that cares about his clients. Very knowledgeable and works hard to win his clients cases it doesn't matter weather the matter is hard or easy. My wife and I was recomended to use him by a family member. We scheduled an appointment and a co...uple days later we are sitting face to face with Mr.Cantor. With his diplomas hanging proudly on the wall and piles of paperwork in every corner really gave a sense how many people trusted him with their immagration matter. He was direct and straight to the point no bullsh*%. The correct papers we needed and what we needed to do. His expert advice and his thoughts about our matter. Gave me and my wife the confidence that the only lawyer that should be handling our matter is Patrick Cantor. Patrick thank you. 2 thumbs up

Attorney Patrick Cantor ROCKS!!!!

Atty. Cantor was the one who helped me petitioned my wife. He is very honest and straight forward with every information he wanted me to know. My wife is here in the United States because of him and his hardworking staff. The one thing that STANDS OUT to me is no matter how busy his schedule is,... he will find a way to reach out to you. I will definitely hire him again to process my wife's 10 year green card. I would happily say that I'am VERY SATISFIED with his services. THANK YOU SO MUCH Patrick !!!

THANK YOU PAT!!

Atty. Patrick Cantor processed my immigration papers. When i was scheduled for an interview for green card, i was so anxious and nervous. Patrick eliminated that feeling. He is so knowledgeable, informative, and most of all honest. He guided me through the process until i received my green card. I...'m so bless to have him as my lawyer and looking forward to hire him again in the future. Thank you Patrick and also to your staff for a job well done.

"I endorse this lawyer. Patrick is smart, hardworking, diligent and effective in handling immigration matters. I have known him for over 16 years. As a criminal defense attorney, I often have questions regarding the consequences a legal conviction may have on my client's immigration status--Patrick is the first person I call and he has always been able to help me. Additionally, when I was starting out as a lawyer I initially practiced immigration law and Patrick was the one who mentored me in the area and answered my many questions. I highly recommend him!"

"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."
