The Best of The Best

I was introduced to Joe Adams through recommendation, after deciding I wanted to switch from an O1 Work Visa to Permanent Residency (Green Card). I arranged a meeting with Joe & instantly knew I wanted to start this process with him. Joe Adam’s worked on my Green Card application, & did an absolute...ly stellar job. He thoroughly explained everything that he & I needed to work on in order to make my case successful, he made me feel reassured & put my mind at ease, as this process can become somewhat overwhelming from time to time. Communication is vital in this process, & Joe was quick to respond to any of my queries or concerns, which in turn, made everything run so much smoother for me. My Green Card application was approved thanks to Joe. I would highly recommend him & his services to anyone who is in need.

Smooth Sailing!

I have had Joe as my lawyer now for the past 4 years. He has helped me attain my o1 visa when I first moved out to America and just this year he got me my Green Card. Always very calm and very easy to work with he took the time to take me through each step of each process and kept my worried ...mind at ease. He never had a doubt in his mind and was always incredibly thorough with all the paper work. I will 100% be keeping Joe as my lawyer for the future and I would recommend him to all my closest.

Visa approved!

Joe was recommended to me by a friend who's first visa application by a different lawyer was rejected. Then she hired Joe and her visa was approved. I was lucky enough to go straight to Joe, and the result was unfaltering - an approved O1 visa! I felt confident in Joe from our initial consultation. H...e went through all the requirements in a very detailed, yet easy to understand manner. And he delivered on everything he promised to do. I worked as a lawyer myself, and I was very impressed with his attention to detail and the completeness and comprehensiveness of my petition submitted to USCIS. It was very impressive and resulted in the approval of my visa request. I now hold an O1 visa, thanks to Joe's work!

Very Pleased with the service that I received

I applied for an O1 Visa and it wasn't straightforward as I am a finance person working in the entertainment industry. Joe was very up front about that but I decided to go for it anyway. I listened to and followed his advice throughout the process and my application was processed with a hitch.... I was kept informed at all stages as to where we were and Joe and his team worked extremely hard to pull all the information together. I really can't fault the service I received and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Straightforward, supportive and promptly responsive.

I was recommended to use Joseph Adams for my third O1 visa. It wasn't a straightforward renewal as before because I was releasing agent from being my petitioner. Joseph explained the options to me and when I had made my decision he clearly detailed to me what paperwork I needed to provide him. It was... a straightforward process. I was not in a hurry for my visa as I was still within validity of my old one so I can't comment on that aspect of the process however when I did have any questions or queries I found Joseph to be prompt in his reply and detailed in his advice/guidance. I felt supported by Joseph and am happy to say the initial recommendation I had for him turned out to be valid as he delivered a decent service. I have therefore recommended Joseph to fellow O1 applicants.
