David is an excellent lawyer!

I hired David to file my I-140 petition and he viewed my profile and recommended that I utilize their expedited application process. I followed his recommendation and it look me only two weeks to prepare all my documents. David helped me throughout the process and prepared the final brief for me to a...pprove. Overall, it took about a month to send out the application. Surprisingly, my application got approved in only 1 month by the USCIS! I highly recommend David!

Very professional and Accessible

I worked with David on my successful EB2-NIW case, and I highly recommend him. I was astonished when he quickly well-prepared my case. I think he did a lot of research himself because he put a lot of information or materials specific to my field of computer science that I did not know as a Ph.D. cand...idate to support the argument for my case. I also liked the fact that he would answer any relevant queries that I have during the process which is necessary as emotional support prior to the approval of the case. I am confident in his work, so some of my friends are already working with him on my recommendations and a few have also gotten successful. Thank you David for helping me achieve my goal.

Great experience working with David

I am more than happy I am writing this review for David. I retained David to present my Immigrant Petition form I-140. In my opinion, I would characterize his work by: a) speedy yet careful workflow: once I would provide a required document, my work didn’t have to stay idle for a long while to ge...t to the next step. Rather quickly, my documents were carefully reviewed and I was notified about the following step. b) patience: David is a patient attorney. Throughout the case preparation and after, I asked many questions and he would patiently take time to answer in detail to keep me informed of different (or hidden) legal aspects of any action. c) expert in the field: as far as it goes to my case, I found David an expert in his field of expertise. Specifically, my case was a difficult one due to a lot of jargon and technical definitions related to my field of study that not even many people in my area would understand them. However, David took the summary of my work and very well documented my case based on that complex summary. In short, I would highly recommend David to anyone who likes to work with a professional and capable immigration attorney.

Great NIW Lawyer

David was definitely one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with. I am an Iranian Citizen residing in Iran and he was able to get my I-140 (NIW) application prepared and approved in under 10 months. I would definitely recommend him.

On time, Fast, Meticulous

I worked with David and Madelynn for my I-140 form. I signed the contract in December and I filled the petition in March, given 6 recommenders they used for my petition, I was satisfied with the letters and the petition itself. Everything was filed very fast and carefully. I'm so glad I had David as ...my attorney.
