Best Immigrations Lawyer Ever

I wanted to tell you how touched and impressed my wife and I both are of your management and resolution skills in our disastrous fight to have my wife Mariya let back into the US. I hired 2 incompetent lawyers over a 2-year period who took my money but never took responsibility, through sloppy work c...aused us 3 1/2 years of emotional hardship. Every time I called you answered my concerns and every issue and roadblock we ran into got immediate attention by you. This is not normal but the characteristics that separate you from too many lazy and incompetent lawyers. I can say thank you but that is never going to be enough. I want to thank you so much for your diligence and perseverance. You’re a unique and very special lawyer who I would recommend to anyone. I called her from Thailand one day. It was 9pm on Friday night in Chicago. She was out with friends at a concert in Chicago. She actually walked out of the concert and called me back in Thailand.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
