Deeply knowledgeable, generous, and thorough attorney

Attorney Borts represented my stateless spouse through the permanent residency process. He was careful to explain the process thoroughly, drawing upon extensive, up-to-date knowledge of legal-political transformations within the immigration bureaucracy to give direct and comprehensive advice in a som...ewhat complicated case. Moreover, he is generous with his time and contacts, reaching out to relevant bureaucrats and experts in international law and immigration policies alike as needed to move forward. I always recommend Attorney Borts to friends seeking legal help with immigration matters and wholeheartedly recommend him here.

Misrepresentation - Immigrant Visa

Working with the Law Offices of David A. BORTS was extremely relieving from start to end...knowing that my case was rather a difficult one. Relieving in that, he was the ONLY lawyer, after consultations with so many others, who read and understood the difficulties of my case but firmly believed t...hat I was going to be given my visa. He even predicted the duration and clarified that "if it isn't for the pandemic, the process will be speedy." That was a boost of encouragement for my wife and me; and indeed, almost speedily it did go...AND I'M CURRENTLY IN THE US WITH MY FAMILY. KUDOS to the Law Offices of David A. BORTS. A recommendation on his behalf is something I need not think twice about because I will honestly do it in a heartbeat. Thanks for the priceless help, Mr. BORTS!

David borts stole from me and my mother this is not a personal attack this is a true statement. He reported my review.

David borts is an immigration attorney, he deals with family court, immigration status, marriage statuses and so on. Me and my mother had him representing our case, and he decided to turn against us and represent my stepfather after we had an agreement. I even payed Mr. Borts as results for his servi...ces and I still don’t understand why he treated me the way that he did. He is a terrible attorney and I would never recommend him to anyone who’s trying to win their case. I hope you don’t take this as an offense and you must be held accountable for your actions.
