Nothing but positive things to say about Len

I was so nervous to seek the assistance of a lawyer. My husband and I make a humble household income between us, and we had already been through the ringer before finally breaking down and realizing we needed professional legal assistance. We were so nervous to get taken advantage of or end up spendi...ng our only savings on through-the-roof legal fees. Len was the only lawyer who didn’t charge us some crazy fee just for an initial consultation - in fact he called me on a Saturday after receiving my email inquiry, and never charged me a thing until I had actually met with him in person and was feeling comfortable about the whole process. He broke everything down and was transparent every step of the way… he even worked with us on an extremely reasonable payment plan. We haven’t been officially approved for the green card yet, but he texted me this evening to inform me that their office sent off all our final paperwork this afternoon and provided us with a tracking number. I am feeling peaceful and confident after seeing how all the other steps in this process have gone, so far, with Len’s assistance. Honestly, seamless! I only wish we had hired him sooner instead of wasting about a year with Boundless Immigration, which got us nowhere except more confused and feeling hopeless about the whole process. Thank you, Len, for everything you’ve done to help us get our lives on a forward track! Thanks to your help I was able to quit my other job where I was being hosted on a TN visa and miserable… I now have a new job doing something that I love, in the US, legitimately… there is less stress in our home and we are expecting our first baby together in the fall and looking forward to the rest of our lives together!!! All I can say is hire Len now, don’t waste any more time on online scams like Boundless. He’s the real deal!

Unconditionally recommend Len

We hired Len for my green card application, he has a flat fee structure, half up front, half when you get your immigration apt, in my case, in Montreal. The entire process was 7 months beginning to end. His door is always open, I stopped in countless times, and called many, and his fees never chan...ged. He gave us excellent advice, kept my application on track, guided us through each step. We crossed the border often (2-4 times a week) while my application was in process, and he helped us prepare a border package. I never had a problem, but I know of others who were stopped repeatedly at the border while their applications were in process. When I went to Montreal, Len gave me a full binder with everything I needed, fully organized. Others in Montreal were shifting through stacks of paper and waited for hours, I was in and out very quickly, everything was perfectly organized. I knew what to expect at every step, and did exactly what he told me and it was a breeze. I have read some of the reviews on this site, and I doubt very much that they were actually clients, or if they were, they didn't do what Len told them. If you are going to hire an expert, follow their advice. There is a lot of paperwork to do, and Len breaks it down into bite sized pieces, that can be completed every couple of weeks. It never felt like the onerous process others have described. If you didn't follow his advice, it can be overwhelming to try and pull it together last minute and you won't get the results you want. Len was recommended to us by our neighbors, and we have spoken with other people who have hired Len, and no one has a bad word to say. Len knows what he is doing, he is friendly, and very approachable. His service extends beyond just the green card, he has diarized when I can apply for citizenship, and his rate is reduced significantly for existing clients to complete that process. He went through a list of do's and don'ts for the next 3 years, to ensure we don't make a mistake that would jeopardize my application for citizenship (eg, don't vote, among other things). We had other issues that were not part of Len's original work, and he did not charge us anything to help us out. You can't get a better immigration lawyer.
