I initially reached out to Ken during a difficult time and he was extremely friendly and helpful during our initial consultation. While I already had a different attorney at the time, the experience left a positive impression on me. Fast forward a couple of years later, I needed an immigration attorney for my wife's green card so reached back out to Ken; and am I glad I did. He is extremely responsive, answers questions more thoroughly than most attorney's I've worked with, and is just an overall joy to work with. I'm now working with him a second time to remove conditions on my wife's green card and he's still just as great to work with. Interestingly enough, I could have gone through my company's immigration law firm free of charge (one of the largest immigration law firms in the world), but I tried working with them and it was clear they were just not on top of things the way Ken was. So I happily paid out of my own pocket (Ken's rates are very reasonable) to hire him. Sometimes, it's better to just work with a local attorney with a personal touch. I would highly recommend Ken's services to anyone!

We have hired Mr. Norris for family law related issues on 2 ocassions as well as sought his legal advice on several things over the past 17 or so years. He is extremely knowledgeable, up front and honest and gets the results you're after! If you have a question Ken cannot answer, he's going to lead you to the best he knows who can!

i hired Ken for immigration related services twice and he exceeded my expectations on both the scenarios. His knowledge and experience on how domestic violence cases are handled in WA state courts is simply fantastic. He provided best possible immigration related services when ever approached,guided me with his valuable suggestions at various stages during my pending DV case and helped me even after the case got dismissed with his immigration related advices on how to handle CBP officials while crossing the US border with DV dismissed charge. Most importantly he is very friendly person to approach anytime when in need.Thank you Ken for all your help. I highly recommend Ken for any (Criminal defense/Immigration) related services.

I hired David in 2018 to immigrate from the U.K. for marriage, he was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable on immigration to the USA. He guided me every step of the way and reassure me of my worries and concerns. We communicated via phone calls, email, text, used FedEx and we/ my wife now had a personal visit to his offices once when I was in the USA. I would highly recommend David who is an expert on immigration.

I'M 34years old my dad hired Mr.Chapman when i was 18 years old . I had made some stupid mistakes growing up in a whole different world then i was used to . Being a refugee with a green card mistakes are not allowed and i was in more trouble with immigration then the state .If it hadn't been for Mr. Chapman i would have been deported back to my home country. Mr. Chapman is a very smart and caring attorney that i would recommend to my family and friends . Mr.Chapman is still my attorney till this day and a family friend not just for immigration issues but in all areas of law. I'm now a proud successful business owner and none of it would have been possible if it had not been for Mr.Chapman's awesome knowledge .....

Elisa gave us wonderful advice and counsel at every step of the way. We initially consulted with Elisa to determine our options before choosing the fiancee visa as our best option to permanently reside together in the US while minimizing time apart. We hired Elisa to help us prepare our documents for the K-1 visa and then continue representing us on a path to the Green Card. Elisa is incredibly thorough and we worked very well with her, iterating back and forth. She caught small errors, irregularities between documents, or things that might require explanations to USCIS. She always worked with us to devise a plan. For example when another country puts names in a different order on official documents - we decided to change the US legal name to match the foreign passport. Our one small delay was due to a translator's error that forced us to re-submit some documents for the work/travel authorization and green card. Despite almost no guidance from USCIS, Elisa caught the most likely source of the holdup. We had the errors in the translation fixed and she also encouraged us to add as much supporting documentation as we could provide. Her strategy worked and the rest of the process went smoothly. The entire process took less than 2.5 years from engagement to Green Card. Elisa was quick to address questions even while she was on vacation. She's kind and operates out of a desire to help those she represents; we cannot thank her enough!

We never thought that one day we would need to look for a Family Law Attorney for help, but life at times brings us unexpected sudden events! We were extremely rewarded when we were referred to The Law Offices of Rashmi N. Patel. We still remember details of our first conversation, occurred on the same day in which she was asked to call us back, but the major one is that we noticed that above all we were speaking with a True Human Being, instead of just an Attorney!In anything that one does in life, it does not matter at what level, sense of Humanity needs to be present, a cordial smile should be seen even over the phone, and the W.I.T. will to help needs to be firm and honest.We were indeed quite impressed with that phone call and we knew at that moment that we could place our entire Trust on Rashmi N. Patel as we did feel that she would get the job done!Well, let me tell you! We were right! She immediately became familiar with our case, asked important questions and moved forward with the process.During its course, which was not very long at all, she proved herself to be a very clever and experienced Family Law Attorney, firm on her words, truthful on her commitment, and kind on her guidance.When in Court at the first required appearance, on a very crucial part of the litigation, she proved again to be a Winner! Not a Winner on that moment, but a Winner of all!What Rashmi did that day, how she professionally performed, and how she guided us showed once again that we were dealing with a Fighter, not for her Rights, but to defend ours, which became as important to her than they were at the time to ourselves! We did not measured words to express our sincere appreciation for all that she wanted to do, did, and we knew she would do!Every time we needed her; she was there. Every time we e-mailed her, she got right back. Every time we texted her, she texted back. Every time we called, she called back!All of the many conference calls we had were done timely and to the point! She did not extend it to be long. She led the conversation to decisively address that important points and got it done efficiently.Rashmi immediate responses showed us how we were important to her and assured us on how rewarded we were in counting with her skilled Legal Services. We knew that when she said we would celebrate Victory that she meant it and she knew within her heart that no unfairness should remain unpunished so that people should somehow be penalized for their unjustified and evil actions!It did not take long, besides many days passing by, for the final honestly Victory come to fruition!We still remember Rashmi N. Patel very strong words when of the very first call: “We will help you!” We for sure do encourage you, if in need of a Family Law or Immigration truly competent Attorney, to call the Law Offices of Rashmi N. Patel. You will not talk with an assistant that will transfer to another Paralegal, and so forth and so forth! You will speak with Rashmi on the first shot and every time you need to!There is a huge difference between people who chose certain Professions because of the “money” involved and people who do what they love to do with the intensity of their soul and passion within their heart!Rashmi is one of them! Rewarding True Success comes not to those who enrich themselves from serving others but from the conviction that we as Humans are on this Earth to Make A Difference to others! Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) - 1869/1948 - was also an Indian Lawyer, and on one of his most famous Quotes, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”, Gandhi pretty much reinforced our personal view of Rashmi N. Patel, also an Indian Attorney. “By serving others from the heart and soul, the difference that you make to yourself and others is without any doubt quite priceless! Thank you so much, Rashmi! Awesome Legal Performance!

Before writing this review, my family and I are forever grateful and indebted to Rashmi for representing our case & helping us to keep our family together. When we first approached her, we were scared, confused, and clueless about how the case is going to unfold. She listened to the entire case very patiently and offered necessary guidance. She was honest about the chances we had to win. During the whole process, she was very thoughtful, dedicated, and promptly responded to our questions. At times, we lost our hope, but she persistently tried everything to win this case. I am thankful to her and her entire team to help me keep our family together. I highly recommend her expertise and professionalism if you are looking for an Immigration Attorney for any complicated immigration-related issues.

My citizenship case involved multitude of items that had to obtained from various sources (agencies). Some of it was obsolete, some of it was archived, none of it readily available. Once gotten, it then needed to be cross referenced and checked for accuracy. From the distance it looked like a long and winding road. Ms. Patel handled the case with aplomb and alacrity: my case was completed sooner than expected. This attorney is highly effective, very efficient and utmost professional. Thoroughly recommended.

When we were being questioned by the customs and immigration officer he said our immigration lawyer really knows her stuff. If Olivia did not print out one exemption/legislation for us we probably would have been denied entry. Very grateful we found Olivia. Thank you.

Her plan of action and approach to the matter was simply excellent and it gave me huge comfort knowing that I had Kendra on my side during this process. My case was a tricky one from the start and it got even more complex when I was faced with a federal tax issue during the pending petitions. Kendra is a fantastic immigration attorney and human and I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for the best representation.

Ms. Sheldon was a wonderful change of pace for me in my court action.

Jennifer took over and was honest with me since day one. Many of us out here in the world can not afford to retain an attorney every time we need one. I hope that this service helps everyone.

Bill Waddell was most highly recommended to us by a fellow immigration lawyer, specifically because our case had past criminal convictions. The client was held without bond at an immigration detention facility, facing what seemed like, unavoidable deportation. Bill Waddell was extremely honest and knowledgeable about possible outcomes and was ready to pursue a number of resolutions. This attorney is truly most cost effective, he will not take your money unless he has a great degree of certainty that the case will be won. Bill Waddell is one of the most compassionate, modest, and prudent individuals that I have ever met. In the end, the charges against the client were dropped; this is all thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for using Bill in a mighty way in our lives. I would highly recommend Bill Waddell, especially if you or your loved one is facing deportation charges due to criminal background.

I am here to Thank Elizabeth Matherne for her exceptional knowledge and commitment she demonstrated in handling my case. To give a little background about the case, i was dealing with ICE who were proclaiming me as illegal resident even though i had a valid stay in US with extension which was in process, however, my i94 was still showing expiration as per my entry 5 years back. ICE was going by i94 records and I was under deportation charges but agree to wait to see response from USCIS on my extension. After i got my extension approval notice i reached out to Elizabeth to help me to drop my case ASAP and get back my bail amount. Elizabeth did not commitment any timelines as other attorneys just to retain a client but inturn she was transparent enough and spoke about the delay due to pandemic and no guarantee of time was given, but at the time gave me a assurance she will do all possible things within her reach to help. I was confident enough when i spoke to her in person that she would do her best. Trust me she just turned the table and got my case closed in just 4 to 5 weeks without a court date which was really commendable & appreciated. I am really grateful and lucky to hire Elizabeth Matherne to handle my case really well and in professional way with timely updates shared to me with no follow up from my end.I would highly recommend people who are looking for immigration lawyer to Hire Elizabeth Matherne without any second thought.

Recently our small company needed help with H1-B visas and other issues. We were very pleased with the fast response and thoroughness of Sharon Lue's firm. The best thing you can say about any lawyers are that they are honest, fast, accurate and complete, never letting us miss any deadlines. We will have more issues in the future and we will use Sharon!

Sharon is very responsible. After I got my H1-B approval notice I travelled back to China. She prepared me very detailed instructions and documentation for applying H1-B visa. While I was stuck in visa application administrative processing, she even wrote letters to help me accelerating the administrative processing. Sharon is also very rigorous and experienced. After I got back to U.S from China, she asked me to make a copy of my visa page and I94 info for documentation. She found out that the custom officer wrote a wrong expiration date on my passport which could cause me huge trouble in future. Lucky that she noticed it and guided me to the custom office and fixed it right away.

I worked with many legal professionals over many years. Clearly Sharon is the best. Straight forward, focused, professional, honest. And most important, her submissions are successful! I never met an attorney who understood immigration issues as well as Sharon, both the letter and the intent of the law. Furthermore she is so well versed in the law and its latest practices she can explain both the detailed and arcane to busy people like us. And for a reasonable price! I look forward to working with Sharon again. Before other attorneys make you promises, I strongly suggest you check with Sharon, she will keep you out of trouble. I most highly recommend her.

I just want to thank Phil and his amazing team from the bottom of my heart. I've had an ongoing case with another lawyer, who did absolutely nothing great for me. I decided that I didn't want that lawyer to represent me anymore due to the amount of stress I had. I was recommended to Phil Alterman by a friend who had an amazing experience with his law firm. When I met him he was very professional forward and to the point on what I needed to do to proceed with my case. After years, my case is finally approved. He fought so hard for me. I am so happy with the results and I couldn't thank Phil more. I will highly recommend him to anyone who needs a high experienced immigration lawyer.

John has been a great support for me as I navigated the complex immigration system to get my green card.. He helped me avoid some huge mistakes that could have occurred had I followed advice that was given to me by some other law firms that were hired by various companies that hired me. I wish I had more business to do with him since I trust him and he has always come through for me. He has always been super transparent and honest. His staff is professional, knowledgeable and responsive. I wish I can work with him again in the future!

After horrible experiences with two immigration lawyers, working with John was like a breath of fresh air. He was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, fair, and everything one could possible want to have in an immigration lawyer. He was able to fix a big mess my previous lawyer got me into where I almost lost my work visa and beyond that helped me get my green card. Most people do not realize the stress and toll that immigration processes have on people, and a good lawyer makes all the difference. I could not recommend him more!

Amanda was the lawyer who managed my application for permanent residence. She was fantastic. Not only does she have a deep understanding of the labyrinthine contradictions of US immigration law, but she has a talent for explaining them to normal people. She understands that you will have options for how you choose to present and file your application, and will guide you towards the choice that is most likely to produce success. She marched me through the process of creating an application like a (very polite) drill sergeant, ensuring that each letter, and each piece of supporting information, was presented in the optimal fashion. I will gladly vouch for both her expertise and her professionalism.

I can’t express how knowledgeable and helpful Jocelyn A. Cortez was with my immigration case from start to finish. Jocelyn was always on top of my case, keeping me up to date with petitions, took her time to explain each petition with follow up calls and always answered my questions. She is very knowledgeable and was always up to date on ongoing immigration changes that impacted my case. I will forever be indebted with her and can’t thank her enough for helping with my case. This has been a journey for me and my family that started 10 years ago when Jocelyn helped with my first DACA application and presently with my application for adjustment of status. My family and I would not have felt at ease going through this process with any other attorney. If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, hard working attorney with your best interest at heart I 100% recommend her.

Hello ... This is our experience we had with Robert West. My wife is from Canada and we got married where I am from Las Vegas we had went to a few lawyers before we found Robert and we knew deep down in are hearts these lawyers were not helpful, they all seem like they just wanted one thing ... Your money and they didn't even care about us. Something inside wasn't right with these Las Vegas immigration Attorneys that we talked too, a lot of them seemed very shady as well. So finally we came across Robert West !!! Set up an appointment to go talk to him, he was a very legit guy and he really cared for us and wasn't all about the business and that's what makes me different. We then hired him and no joke five months later my wife got her social number and 14 days after that we had are immigration interview. It was all a very fast process, and Robert came with us to the immigration interview and he helps prepare you very well!! He knew all the immigration officers there so it made the interview go smooth !! Guess what we got approved ! We really recommend you hiring Robert he is very knowledgable, experienced and trustworthy !! Thanks Robert for being our lawyer :) . For anyone who reads this I promise you he's worth it.

It was a true pleasure having Mrs. Pozo as our Attorney. We'd previously had a bad experience with an Immigration Attorney but Mrs. Pozo assured us that she'd be very thorough and would guide us properly throughout the process. She did just that. She truly gave us peace of mind. Whenever we had a question or concerns, she always took our calls and or either replied via email right away, if we had emailed her. My Wife and I owe her so many thanks and appreciation due to the fact that she handled our process so very well. We highly recommend Mrs. Pozo if you're in need of an Attorney.

Miriam's office called regularly and gently pushed us to get the paper work in. We just got our pardon and now we are working on the green card. He will have to leave the US but with a pardon in hand. Thank you.

I am grateful for mister rasul. there are many remarkable things that set his firm apart from others. Firstly I’m thankful because he won my case of cancellation of removal (deportation) and worked really hard along with his team to present a very strong case. He also got my mom her US citizenship which many people had told me would be a waste of time to try because of her limitations speaking the English language. Him and his staff members take their time meeting with you plenty of times before you have to appear in court. I particularly appreciate his mindfulness when it comes to pricing as he is not a greedy lawyer by any means and understands many immigrants don’t always have the best paying jobs. he is there to assist you if needed (he went to the citizenship interview with my mom) He also offers monthly payment plans which is extremely helpful. I now have told my close friends about mister rasul and because of my case results they will be making an appointment with him. I think he is the ideal lawyer because he is focused on one thing and one outcome: winning your case.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
