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 !!!

Worth the Money!!!

I was referred to Patrick, a reliable immigration attorney by a very good friend of mine. When I met him the first time, he was blunt and honest. He laid out all of my options and any good and bad possibilities of my case, which I like that. I rather be informed the bad side than promised somethin...g that might not even happening. Right from very beginning, Patrick states that honesty is really important. He wont do any case when a client is trying to commit some fradulent acts because he doesnt want his client be in trouble and not succesful in getting their case approved by the immigration. He is very busy lawyer but Patrick always have time for me. He keeps his words whenever he says he will call me back. He also willing to take my appointment over the weekend so that he can fit in with my schedule and he make sure everything is taking care of promptly. He is also a good listener. Besides discussing my case, he also willing to listen my other problems in life, as we all do. So during the course of my case we build a good relationship. He pays attention to details, double check the forms, files, immigration updates, etc. He does very good job in preparing his case. For some people, it maybe little difficult to deal with his bluntness, but trust me, Its worth the money you spent. At the end, you are the winner, your case will be approved, and your life will be better to achieve the american dream with the green card in your hand!! Just like he did to me. Thanks Pat!!

Good Atty not great staff

I have used Patrick for a number of mine and my family's immigration cases. He is very knowlegdable and blunt. I found working with him was great but his staff is rude and not organized. I missed my first interview for my green card bc his staff failed to follow up if I had received the letter inform...ing of my interview. They also forgot to call me when my mother's passport arrived in their office. Also they misplace my dr exam in their office when my dr sent it a week prior too and very rudely informed me that it was my fault that they hadn't received it only to be called 3 hours later to be told that they have "received it that day" but the postmark was days prior.

Professionalism is job #1

For someone who has many years of experience in his field, Mr. Cantor maintains a youthful, energetic feel to his approach and work ethic on the job. I feel this translates to a prompt, effective resolution to completing the task at hand. His knowledge of the job will make you feel comfortable and co...nfident that you have selected the best possible choice for whatever your legal or immigration need may be.

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."
