I have launched 4 start-up companies. Rich Saffir was my attorney for my first company which was a successful venture. He is extremely capable and professional, and believe me, this is the guy you want on your side of the table in any business negotiation. It's been 10 years and a dozen attorneys since he last worked for me and I can now fully appreciate his knowledge and skills compared to others. Location/logistics have kept me from retaining Rich recently but that will change shortly and I expect to hire him again.

I hired attorney Pavan Dhillon to complete my Parent’s Canadian Immigration application last year. Unfortunately, the application wasn’t selected in the lottery and we had to continue to wait.
As soon as information about the new system (switching from a lottery to first-to-submit) was released, Pavan was proactive and ensured that we had all of the information required to increase our chances of being selected in the 2019.
We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have Pavan advise us through the process as it is with her guidance that we received an Invitation to Apply. As a busy professional, she kept me on track and made sure we knew what documents to gather well in advance. She explained the process clearly and she was always available to answer our questions.
She bends over backwards for her clients and I would highly recommend Pavan if you are looking for a Canadian Immigration attorney!

A little over a year ago, we were seeking immigration representation. Our US electronics company was selling a majority of our business to a foreign corporation specializing in custom automated machinery and metal parts. We needed to transfer an engineering manager from Asia to the US to lead our expanding team designing, selling, installing, and servicing this high tech manufacturing equipment. This business expansion could not be accomplished without the transferring manager`s technical expertise here in the US.
The problem: our US based company had under $400,000 in annual sales and only one W-2 salaried employee. After contacting immigration attorney after immigration attorney, including top rated business immigration specialists, we were given little hope. And then we met Michael.
Michael asked very probing questions, studied our business plan and supporting documentation, determined our new manager qualified for the L-1A and EB-1C visas, and presented our extremely complicated case including around 800 pages of evidence so eloquently in his writings that the merits of the case popped out and were obvious.
While preparing said documentation, the applicant`s wife developed a very serious medical condition which required she either travel very soon or she would not be able to fly for 5 months, a delay which would have devastating impact on our newly expanding business. Michael was determined to rapidly complete the application. He worked from 9AM in the morning to past 1AM at night, day after day, including Thanksgiving, until it was filed.
Michael successfully obtained the L-1A visa a few weeks after submitting the application and the EB-1C based green card less than 3 months after filing the application for our firm`s new General Manager.
Today, our company has three full time W-2 employees and a number of technical sales experts across the country. We have installed hundreds of thousands of dollars of our manufacturing equipment, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA. We have patents pending for our unique technologies. And all of this was possible because of Michael.
It is difficult to convey the gratitude we feel to this extremely insightful, relentless, results oriented, honest, good-hearted, pleasant man.
If your business is seeking representation to temporarily or permanently transfer an international manager to the US, and you want an attorney superbly knowledgeable and published in Bender`s Immigration Bulletin for his works in this specialized niche of immigration law, who cares enough to make this kind of herculean effort, I recommend them
Sincerely,
Derek

Mr. WIngfield represented my husband in an adversarial proceeding case that was brought against us after we filed bankruptcy. It was a terrifying time for us. We are so thankful for Mr. WIngfield and his professionalism, knowledge of the law, foresight and his care in our case. Our case was a difficult one, one that could have gone either way. Mr. Wingfield was so prepared before trial and thought of every angle the opposing side may take. We were prepared for a 2 day trial. At the end of the first day he made motions to dismiss all 3 charges against us and because for his preparation, understanding of the law and care in our case, the judge threw out all three charges. He won our case without even having to present our side. We are so thankful for him! Best Lawyer ever!

Typically don't choose the low bid, but in hiring Loren this worked out very well for me. I was prepared, so during our first meeting Loren collected most all the info needed to ascertain what I needed and to complete the job. He understood that I wanted an Estate Plan that is robust and simple. After the initial meeting there were a couple emails and phone calls. At our second meeting, all the documents were completed accurately and signed. Loren took the time to listen and make sure I understood my options. I would easily recommend him for estate planning.

I am very impressed with the hard work and outcome in my case performed by Rachel Folberg. Her professionalism, attention to detail, hard work, good communication with me in all stages of the case progression, and her extensive knowledge of employment law were the strengths in winning my case. A working contract was drafted to clearly state her fees and overall expectations from me. Time frame from the beginning of our case to the end was good with positive strides clearly being made the entire way. I would 100% use her services again!

After losing my house to a bank at a trustee sale, I hired Mr. Margolis to defend me in my eviction of my home. He won two motions for summary judgment filed in court by the bank; and later, on the date of trial, negotiated a settlement, giving me title back to my home. My sister, a Federal District Court Judge, was herself amazed by his performance and the result.
