The best immigration lawyer!

I started my process on my own and made some mistakes. I contacted Dr. Joseph and he reversed my process. He worked hard and got what I expected, my green card. I received my 10 year green card and I will be forever grateful for that. In all the times that I was in the office I was well attended. He ...was always attentive and always explained to me step by step what it would be like. I was always sure that my case was in the hands of the best immigration lawyer. And that was proven in the end. If I need it again I will look for him. Serious and competent professional. I recommend!

Superb Attorney

Joe is very confident in achieving his goal. This is why we hired him. As an LGBT couple my husband got his green card with Joe always at his side. His staff took care of all the paperwork with no issues. When we had doubts, his advice overcame those doubts. We strongly recommend him for all your... LGBT needs and concerns. As soon as we met him we felt a certain comfort as though we had a best friend and at home. All positive results. Presently achieving naturalization with Joe. He is a great person with a great staff.

Judge asked if I was pleased for his service. I said yes. He said " You should be"

This was the third time I used Joes services. My ciminal past is extensive in both NY and NJ. I was charged with another drug possession charge as well as some back up paraphernalia and even added shoplifting. They started out as 3rd degree and was put under review by the superior court in Hackens...ack. With my rap sheet I believe with out Joes help or phone calls I would've ended up back on state property. That's never the case with this man. They shot them back to municipal and I was facing misdemeanors (non indictable) I already had to do a violation of parole in NY for the arrest but a misdemeanor conviction meant I was being sent back up state. Joe talked with the town prosecutor and came back to me saying that they're petty disorderly persons. The theft turned into creating a disturbance and the possession turned into failure to turn drugs over to the police. I didn't even believe that was a charge. The paraphernalia was thrown out. When the judge asked if I was pleased with his service I said yes and he said "you should be" in open court. I walked away with a heafty fine but I slept in my bed that night!! In Joe I trust!

Saved my life

Had a crazy ex girlfriend who made up some serious charges when I was leaving her for the military. Joe got the case dismissed. I am extremely grateful for his service.
