Posted by Thuy | December 27, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

EB-2/NIW green card approved

I needed to switch attorney and my application urgently done with time-pressure anxiety. Andrew was a very nice calm professional. He was very knowlegable, promptly responded my any questions or requests. As soon as I read the documents hr prepared for me, I could feel that my green card coming very ...soon, because his persuation and writing were so good. And Indeed my green card arrives after 5 months of submiting concurrently. With his legal advice in many aspects of visa/greencard, I could sleep well at night. I would recommend him to any of my friends in need of immigration documents and applications. He is an outstanding young immigration attotney!

Exceptional Dedication and Good Vibes

Not only was Andrew trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, and informative, but he was enthusiastic in guiding me through the naturalization process. He sincerely enjoys helping people, and his dedication to anything that comes his way is exceptional. He must also be a bringer of good luck, as my na...turalization application went much quicker than the expected 6 months--I got naturalized only 3 months after I put in my application!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
