He helped our family immensely

Our experience with Philip was great - he has helped us over the years with family immigration matters and was always professional, responsive and honest. I realize there is conflicting information about him in recent years, but our family considers him a trusted advisor in spite of his difficulties... and the fact that he no longer has a license to practice law.

Always Available, Even on Weekends

I found Philip Teplen to be extremely responsive. He returned all my calls, personally, usually that same day and did not mind calling me after business hours, when it was more convenient for me to speak. He was very informative about how I should proceed with my application for permanent residence ...and was diligent about following up with USCIS, when they failed to locate my file. ( It was either at NVC, Vermont, Garden City, Federal Plaza, Hartford or Miami!!!...depending on which immigration officer you spoke with!) Mr. Teplen was also very email responsive, answering me almost always immediately, even on the Weekends, like a Saturday night. Thanks to all the hard work of Teplen Law Group and it's team of attorneys, I am now a US citizen!

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.

Resigned in Lieu of Discipline issued in NY, 2014

updated on 10/25/2016

This means the attorney resigned in order to avoid being disbarred. "Disbarment" is the most serious penalty for a lawyer.
