It is with great pleasure that I write these words of thanks to the attorney Shawn Quinn.
I remember the day I contacted Mr. Quinn for the first time. From the beginning he showed signs of professionalism, he listened to me carefully and he gave me not one, but several ways out to my legal process.
It was a long road that he led to success.
Shawn is always available for his clients; he answered my calls, my e-mails (which were not few) and he showed a lot of patience every time I needed a second explanation.
We presented an impeccable case, based on objective facts, concise, argumentative. The architect of this whole process was Shawn.
We won !!
Precise, accurate, he perfectly managed the times, the deadlines, we were always an step in advance, he planned everything demonstrating his vast experience and excellence.
He left nothing to chance or any ambiguous point.
Shawn is not only an excellent professional but he is an exceptional human being. He is empathic, human, humble (despite all his knowledge ), he is honest, responsible and patient.

Shawn helped me with the process of obtaining my Permanent US Resident Visa. My wife (American) and I (French) found him on Google and hired him for an initial consultation. We did the same with a few other law firms but Shawn really stood out. He quickly reassured us regarding his extensive experience with situations similar to ours, had the credentials that we were looking for, and was able to handle every aspect of our application himself so we decided to hire him. It was also an added benefit that he was an American located in Paris so he understood both cultures, both legal systems and made it easy for us to communicate with him as we were in the same timezone. Hiring him was the best decision we made during this transfer. Shawn proved to be available, accessible, attentive to details, human, understanding, reactive, and would not forward you to other departments all the time the way larger companies tend to do. He owned our case. Throughout the process, he reassured us, anticipated everything and anything that could happen, and followed up regularly.
It is with deep gratitude that I am happy to recommend Shawn Quinn to anyone going through the process of obtaining a Green Card or other services he specializes in. Shawn, thanks again for everything, this move was one of the most stressful life-changing processes my wife and I went through and you were instrumental in making it happen in a smooth and efficient way.
