Leonard Douglas M Saunders

Len was recommended to me, and I was very lucky to have been put in contact with him. He is an all-around good guy who knows exactly what to do. When we first met, I was having trouble getting across the border. I was trying to go through the immigration process on my own using internet resources. Th...is was a big mistake because the process never goes exactly as planned. He was there to advocate for me, and without Len, I would not have been able to attend my own wedding! I was SO grateful for his expertise, and (more importantly) so was my wife. Since then, he has been there for me at every step along the way of my green card process, and I will undoubtedly continue working with Len when it comes time to apply for my citizenship. He was never more than a call or email away, and always gets back to me with answers to all of my questions. If you're moving to the US, you want Len working on your behalf.

Len went to bat for me. I got a 5 year ban for doing nothing wrong and Len went to work. Got my waiver for me and made multiple trips to the border whenever I had problems. After the 5 years was up and no longer needed a waiver Len still went to the border to make sure they made a note that they had ...screwed up and not me. I have never had a problem at the border again because of Len. I have sent 4 other people to him and they are all happy with his work. Love the guy.

Leonard Saunders far exceed my expectations by taking a situation where my girlfriend was barred from the country for 6 months to the happy outcome of my girlfriend getting her TN visa 2 days later. The details are below but to sum up now, if you’re having an immigration problem near Blaine, Washing...ton, you need to call Leonard Saunders. My Canadian girlfriend was hired for an accounting job in Seattle. On a Thursday she went up to the US border with a letter to apply for her TN visa. She was denied since she had forgotten her original diplomas and they had some issues about the TN letter. Also, she was denied a visitor entry because she no longer had ties to Canada since she was anticipating starting work in Seattle and had been staying with me for a week. However, she still was paying for her Canadian apartment until the end of the month and had been living there for years. She called me and I drove up with her diplomas. It was unclear what was wrong with the TN letter so I naively drove her back to the border to find out what we needed. This was a mistake because the border guards took it as a second attempt to enter, would not let me say anything, told her she was now barred from the country for 6 months and threaten to throw her in immigration detention if she tried to enter again. She was told she may not be allowed back in even after 6 months and would not get a TN visa. Both of us were shocked. I stayed up most of the night online researching what just happened. We slept little that night and decided she needed to get a place and a job in Vancouver for at least 6 months. I thought the best I would be able to do was schedule an appointment to meet an attorney the following week. However, the next day I called twice and eventually spoke with an attorney in Seattle who recommended Leonard (Len, not sure of spelling) Saunders. I immediately called Len, he asked a few questions and agreed to meet us Saturday morning in Canada. Len, was professional, friendly, and from his questions and comments, obviously was the guy we needed. Len reviewed our TN letter and put us to work gathering ties and equities for the last 6 months. While we were busy gather data he went to the border to find out more information on why my girlfriend was denied entry and a TN visa. Len met us again at 4pm on Saturday to review our paperwork. He asked us more questions, reviewed our paperwork and arranged to tentatively attempt to get the visa again the next morning. On Sunday morning my girlfriend met Len at the border and Len stayed with her for 2 hours as she again applied for her TN visa. All of Len’s help paid off and she was granted her visa. Not only did Len get my girlfriend’s TN visa and fix the problem over the weekend, he only charged us half price since he did not have draft a new TN letter. Both my girlfriend and I are extremely grateful to Len for going far beyond what is normal and helping us through this difficult time.

My immigrant husband fell out of immigration status a number of years ago. We originally hired someone we thought was a lawyer, who actually just worked under a lawyer and misrepresented himself. That individual has since been banned from practicing in the State of Washington. Len warned us about ...him early on, but we disregarded his advice. After we lost our representation, we went back to Len. He helped us straighten everything out and was very knowledgeable about the process. My husband's case was very old and complicated, but Len helped us work through it. Ultimately, my husband became a citizen with Len's help, something we didn't believe was possible. Len never charged us more that was agreed and we had receipts for all of our fees and filings. Len has an open-door policy and is very approachable.

After having an issue at the border that rendered me ineligible to enter the United States, I hired a law firm back East to help with my re-entry status. They provided me many assurances they would be able to help, and I forked over $5,000 to get the job done. Long story short, they did nothing, but ...cash my cheque. I was lucky enough to see Len Saunders being interviewed on the local news a short time later and I gave him a call. He drove up from Blaine to meet me, and told me exactly what we needed to do for re-entry. I decided to give another immigration firm a shot, and I am so glad that I did. Len has been outstanding, going above and beyond (he even helped me with a letter to the law society of Canada, related to the firm that gouged me, for no additional charge). Len's been first class, and very responsive to all my calls/emails/texts. I would recommend him to anybody in need of an immigration attorney.
