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.

Best and clearest advice, i have ever received....

I have worked with Lawyers in three continents over the years, and i wish they had all been like Joe. Quite simply, he gave me the best advice, in a timely fashion that proved to be an absolute life saver. It was on an immigration and employment matter and he was stop on. I have already reco...mmended Joe to three friends, and I will continue to send people towards him and his colleagues.

Clear, professional and got me the best results

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Joseph a number of months ago by a friend. Cut a long story short, I needed immediate employment and immigration legal advice and action. Joe was clear, precise, expert with his advice and transparent in his costs . I cannot say more - other than it was t...he best experience I have ever had with a Lawyer - and I have dealt with a few in the last 25 years of business.
