Dedicated, professional and supportive

David has helped me obtain a J-1 visa, despite meeting potential bars that could have prevented me from participating in a significant and meaningful internship program. Following David's advice and presentation of my case, my partner (who was facing more substantial bars) simultaneously received a B...-2 visa and we were able to travel together, despite the fact that unmarried couples don't have a formal status under US immigration law. I've had a very short time to prepare and go through this process, in which every delay or mistake could jeopardize my ability to travel, not to mention concern I had about the detrimental future implications if my application would be denied. It was because of David's professional advice and support that I was able to adequately cover every aspect of my case (including those I couldn't think of myself) and pass the hurdles I was facing. He turned a very hectic and uncertain process with an unfamiliar system into a tolerable experience, explaining everything patiently and answering all my questions. David has helped me with all his heart and great skills. I'm very grateful for everything he did for me and recommend his services without hesitation.

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.
