Very Professional and Supportive

Harvey did a wonderful job on my case. He was an integral part of building my confidence during Adjustment of Status interview. He was very clear about the instructions and guidance and walked me through the process until my Adjustment of Status was approved.

Detail-oriented, prompt and meticulous attorney. Highly recommended!

I have been in contact with Harvey for a couple of months regarding Talent-Based visas such as EB-1, EB-2 and NIW. Our first interaction was through a free consultation that Harvey has generously provided us. What I have noticed about "free consultations" by other attorneys is that they would list...en to your case but when you expect them to give you a reply (a technical opinion) they would say they can't do that unless you are their client, while basically the whole point of the interview is to get a professional's opinion and perspective. But with Harvey, it was real consultation. He gave me his opinion, the legal basis behind his opinion, with meticulous explanation and timeline for the whole process. He also followed up the meeting with a detailed email explaining each and every point we have discussed in the meeting and what he thinks about the strengths and weaknesses of each point. Another thing I have noticed about Harvey is that he pays attention to each client, remembers the slightest details about his/her application, replies really quickly to any questions and follows up with you. This made me confident in his abilities to present my case. Harvey was also very flexible with his payment strategy and his fees were very fair for the services he was going to provide. Unfortunately, Harvey hasn't handled my case because my work figured out a way to handle it. Highly recommended!

Webinar and free consultation

I found the webinar on self-sponsored options for advanced degrees and postdocs (EB-1, EB-2, NIW) that Harvey gave in September 2015 really helpful. In addition I had a free consultation with Harvey during which he gave me helpful explanations and tips to how to meet the criteria for a successful pet...ition. Harvest was honest and told me that my application needed stronger accomplishments and achievements to be treated by his company, and that he was ready to help once I met the criteria. Overall my interaction with Harvey was really helpful.

Great experience!

I contacted Harvey because of his experience in talent based immigration. I had two 1 hour conversations with him and I have found him to be very professional and very well informed on immigration matters. In particular, I liked his personal and interactive approach. In our conversations, he clearly ...laid out all my options and then recommended the best path forward. Overall a great experience, I would recommend talking to him.

Very satisfied

I have contacted Harvey about the possibility of a green card self petition process. I had a very positive experience in my interaction with him. We had two lengthy skype calls where we discussed about my case in detail. He objectively identified the trade-offs different approaches without making me ...to rush to any decision. He was very knowledgeable in the field that I had contacted him for.
