Client

I had a great experience with Mr. Buffington. He represented my parents to file for their US Citizenship. He was very efficient, detailed oriented and highly professional. I recommending him to anyone who is dealing with immigration issues. Currently, my entire family members are reunited.

Best professional service!l

Andrew and his firm helped us with getting my wife's green card in 8 months time while treating us with the utmost respect, politeness and professionalism. Every detail from the very well maintained building and free parking, each person's professional manner and the written and verbal correspondenc...e were always at the highest level!

Green Card for an Immediate Relative of a U.S. Citizen

Mr. Buffington was very helpful with our process, and we felt very comfortable with his services. We first thought that he was asking for too much paperwork, but at the end, the big list of documents that he required for us to have ready, was very helpful. We think that if it wasn't for all the evide...nces that Mr. Buffington asked us to have ready before our first meeting, our case would have probably taken longer. The immigration agent ended up asking for more evidences after all, but with the help of Mr. Buffington, and the letters he wrote to the immigration agent in our behalf, we were able to get my green card in less than a year. We are very pleased with Mr. Buffington's services and also his very nice legal assistant, Nina. Everything went so smoothly thanks to them and how organized everyone is in his office. My husband and I are very happy to have hired Mr. Buffington for our case. We recommend his legal services to anyone who is looking for an organized, responsible, knowledgeable, and detailed attorney in the Tacoma area.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
