Excellent Lawyer

Hired Carl to assist with the TN visa process. At first, I wasn't sure if the TN visa was an option for me. Carl did his research and explained how my position did fit with one of the TN occupation categories. He wrote me an excellent letter and made sure that I was very prepared prior to my intervie...w at the boarder. At the Toronto Pearson airport, I did not have issues attaining the TN visa, nor was I questioned regarding my role. Carl was very informative and always quickly replied to my questions. I will definitely be hiring Carl for any future immigration needs.

Efficient and Effective

Met with Carl on a Tuesday, by Friday he had filed the appropriate residency applications! He was always available for questions as we went through the process and events happened pretty much how he said they would. Good working contacts with local immigration officials as well. Very knowledgeable an...d professional throughout the entire process.

A Source of Excellent Counsel During Uncertain Times

I highly recommend Mr. Balediata's services - he remains professional, engaged and supportive; he was a constant source of reassurance and pointed advice during my wife's Immigrant Visa process. He was well-informed and kept steady contact with us during each stage of the process. He also provided v...aluable insight into future expectations and possible issues with form submissions and governmental requirements. I and my family are very thankful we were referred to Mr. Balediata - now we would like to refer him to you!

Relationship: Friend

"I endorse this lawyer. Carl is the only attorney I will refer to for Immigration matters. Many immigration attorneys take advantage of their clients' predicament to get a fee and offer hope when there is truly no hope to be had. Carl is an honest attorney who desires only to help immigrants fulfill their dream to become an American citizen. He is a straight-shooter and I have the utmost respect for how he handles his practice."
