Highly recommended!

George is a phenomenal attorney with an amazing amount of knowledge in immigration law. He is extremely professional and a very pleasant person to work with. He does a great job at breaking things down on a level that is not intimidating to those of us who do not necessarily understand all of "lega...lese" of the laws and statutes. George makes it as easy to understand as possible. He is thorough, punctual and does a great job of making you feel as if your case is his number one priority. He makes you feel as if you are his only client. I highly recommend George Ernst without absolutely ANY hesitations.

Great attention to detail

I found George to be very detail oriented and attentive to detail. He is clearly experienced in dealing with USCIS. He was prompt and very reassuring during my Green card application which was successful thanks to his careful preparation. I recommend him

George Ernst is an awesome Lawyer!

I have known Goerge for a while now. He helped me with my visa petition, and he is extremely punctual with the deadlines. He has amazing knowledge about immigration law and will guide you through all. You hire him for your case and you can sleep on it as it is a done deal.

EB2 NIW Case

I worked with George on filing my immigration petition on EB2 NIW . Our petition was approved.My case was very unique in terms of my qualification and publication. I only had Masters degree and zero scientific publication. George was able to figure out my unique skills and expertise for the nation...al interest waiver and the cover letter was really strong, objective and well drafted. George is very detail oriented and granular on the writing which I realized is very critical for the success of this type of applications. I really enjoyed working with George and would like to recommend anyone who is working for EB2 NIW petitions.

  • 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.
