John is THE one and only lawyer you need to take care of your immigration matters. He is honest, professional, knowledgeable, and has very high ethics when it comes down to handling your case. I highly recommend him.

It’s been an incredible pleasure to have known and worked with John as our family lawyer for all of our immigration matters during these past three years.  John is incredibly helpful, attentive and responsive, honest, and he truly cares a lot more for building strong professional relationship with his clients than to just doing business.  He has a depth of experience, and his advice is most practical, realistic and reliable. Thank you John, it has been truly a pleasure working with you.

I was arrested for my first DUI a few months ago. At the time I was completely freaked out, panicked, ashamed, didn't know how I was going to get through this. I started researching online and figured out quickly that I would need to hire an attorney. The reviews for Gold & Witham definitely stood out from the rest. I think I called on a Sunday afternoon and was not expecting anyone to pick up, but Jeff Gold himself answered the call! It was the only call I had to make. He was honest and direct from the very first call, did not try and sugar coat anything or make any promises about my outcome, which I appreciated. I had a BAC of .19, had run a red light and had been driving with no lights on at night. I was facing jail time, Caltrans work/community service, high penalty fees, anywhere from 6-18 month DUI program, and a suspended license for a long time. He told me there would be a lot of work to do on my part: keep an attendance sheet of AA meetings (at least 40, although I ended up doing 110), two character references, one letter from myself to the court, and a psychology evaluation. It wasn't easy, in fact it was quite stressful for me - all of those things were well outside of my comfort zone. But he called every week to check-in, give me the latest status of my case, and hammered in the importance of what I was doing. Week over week, there was a shift somewhere and I started to feel better. The AA meetings were actually helping. I was sober and can honestly say I felt my life improve. I was even promoted at work during all of this! When my day in court finally came, all of the hard work paid off. He got the high BAC charge removed and I ended up with a 30 day license suspension, 5 month ignition interlock device for my car, and a 3 month DUI program. There was a fee of $1900, which he got cut in half. No jail time, no community service, no other mandatory programs or meetings. The judge even commended me at the end for all of the work I was doing to try and better myself. I could not believe it. In the end I realize I needed to do all of this work, not only for my case, but for myself. I've personally gained so much from this experience and know it's due in part to Mr. Jeff Gold's guidance and method. I'm so grateful and cannot recommend him or his firm highly enough! He's got your back and wants to help you if you want to help yourself. If you listen to him, follow his lead, and be open to the process, very good things will come from an otherwise horrible situation that you only want to find yourself in once.

As a professional athlete I decided to apply for EB-1A visa. From the first conversation with John, I could easily tell that he is highly skilled and educated. Together, we built a pretty strong case over few months and my application got approved in just a few days. John is very knowledgeable and experienced. He cares about his clients and really enjoys his work, but most importantly he communicates well with no delays. 10/10 highly recommended!!!

My husband and I hired John as our lawyer to help us with immigration application. John was extremely helpful for our case. Especially, he was knowledgeable, professional, very responsive to emails and any of our questions whether by email or phone. My husband and I highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended. Caring, and well informed.

Found quite knowledgeable on the immigration laws and would recommend anyone to talk to the firm.

John is awesome! He was a huge help. Only attorney in the world that will be of any assistance without demanding cash first. I live in NJ and could not get any help from an attorney anywhere in NJ. Called CA and happened to call John. Cannot be more appreciative of his help. Thanks John.

وقتی‌ قرار شد این راه طولانیه مهاجرتو آغاز کنم،خیلی‌ نگران بودم که از کجا شروع کنم و با چه کسی‌ ..با جان خسروی از طریق اینترنت آشنا شدم و شروع کردیم.از امتیازات جان می‌شه به چیزهای مثل ،دقیق بودن،متعهد،با سواد و چیزهای دیگه اشاره کرد.بسیار خوشحال هستم که با ایشون کار می‌کنم و اگه دوباره به سالهای قبل برگردم با کامل میل با کیومرث خسروی کار خواهم کرد. با افتخار

John was a very attentive and responsive attorney who took the time to understand our situation and led us efficiently to the desired solution. Highly recommended!

convinced me to file a chapter 13. She then locked me into a high monthly payment of $475.00 for three years. Because I failed to make all the payments on time to the trustee my case was dismissed. I kept telling her $475.00 was too high and not to do it and she did it anyway. She wanted me to file a chapter 13 because she gets give or take about $4000.00 more give or take. She doesn't communicate with you very well and her assistant Chris fails to relay important messages you give him. Now I have I start all over again all because this lady wanted a little extra I her pocket. Because of her I've lost about $3000 give or take...She is a shady person and should not be practicing law! I am filing complaints to the state bar and the attorney general. Its been a little over a year since my bankruptcy was charged off due to mrs. Berelianis dishonest business practices and my new lawyer not only confirmed she was being shady in trying to get me to file a chapter 13....but told me i did qualify for a chapter 7. This lawyer will try to get you to file a chapter 13 telling you that you do t qualify for a 7. so she can make more money off you. Im not writing this review only because im upset i got scammed... but because i wish to let others know that she is shady and NOT TO BE TRUSTED! I got set back a year plus because of her! And finally found a trustworthy lawyer who is helping me. Dont be beguiled by this lady!!!! Please!

John was absolutely fantastic and professional. I had a hard time receiving my working authorization and I found John and emailed him, was not expected to get a response so quick (I contacted 4 other attorneys previously, and non of them was as patient as John). John selflessly gave me a lot of great guidance and actually understand what I was going through. Because of him, I finally got my card. I can’t be more grateful for you John
