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.

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!!

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.

"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."
