I finally received my green card, working with Daniel was an incredible experience. After 9 years immigration journey with another firm, he stepped in last year with total dedication, professionalism and knowledged and deep understanding of immigration law and his genuine care for his clients made all the difference. I have to say my case was complicated, involving asylum, an EB visa, and TPS. Daniel was always responsive, patient, and thorough, answering all my questions and helping ease my anxiety. His calm, knowledgeable approach turned a stressful situation into something much more manageable. On a side personal note he also eased my Advance Parole travel experience and helped me to see family after 9 years .. I can’t recommend Daniel enough for anyone needing immigration assistance !! Thank you, Daniel!

KYLE is very honest & forthcoming with information. He is very “no-nonsense” & did not sugar coat things.

I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for the OUTSTANDING COUNSEL that you have provided from the start to the present moment. I have learned SO MUCH from your knowledge of the EEO Process and the tactics that discriminators exercise against their victims. Your guidance and mentorship on how to focus on the important aspects of a case as well as how to convey my experiences proved invaluable in my complex situation. I could not have been able to effectively articulate my Formal EEO Submission without you. More importantly, I appreciate your honesty throughout the process in gaining extended litigation support. You are an AWESOME ATTORNEY and heaven sent. Should anyone be in need of an attorney that will provide ground truth in the EEO Process, guidance on articulating your claims (the most important aspect of your case), and requires a thorough review of your case in an effort to point you to where you can locate the explicit details of your claims or when the start of your discriminatory tactics are being exercised against you, Kyle Ingram is the Man for the job. You will not be disappointed. God Bless and may Justice be served to all those that Discriminate against innocent victims.

I have a disability EEO case with my workplace. So far, through consultation, I've spoken to Kyle twice and he is very thorough. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the strong points of my case and gave me realistic advice/ expectations. He is going to make sure you make the most out of your time and money. Also, he is very knowledgeable about EOO complaints and workplace discrimination. Moving forward, I know exactly what I need to do. My case is still in the early stages, so I may not need to retain him, but if I do, I feel good about where my money is going and know I'll have great representation.

I contacted Dave when my former employer violated my severance agreement. Dave helped guide me through a difficult negotiation, one in which I was forced to accept a "less bad" outcome for the sake of moving on with my life. David quickly assimilated the facts, worked with me in thinking through the trade-offs between litigating and settling, and helped me get the matter resolved through settlement before I incurred large-scale fees.

Mr. King successfully represented me in a complicated employment related case. The time difference between the United States and my overseas location was not an obstacle for Mr. King who was always available 24/7. Mr. King explained each step of the lengthy legal process, always answered my questions with complete honesty and in plain English (not attorney terminology), ensuring that I understood. In addition, Mr. King is a skilled mediator. Mr. King is unique. He cares about his clients and really does go the “extra mile”.

Yurika was everything I could ever ask for in an attorney. Seriously....I can't think of anything she could have done better. My wife was in the country legally on a J-1 visa and we decided to get married and file a marriage-based adjustment of status (for a green card). It was painless the whole way through. Before even compensating or retaining Yurika, she literally answered each and every question I had regarding the process and even had the courtesy to look over our documents to confirm we had everything in order to file with USCIS. This played a huge part in us committing to be her clients. Her firm and paralegals are just as accommodating throughout the process. Ask anything, and they will give you clear and concise answers. We had our final interview last week to which Yurika prepared us for and even accompanied us to the interview with the USCIS officer present. My wife has since been approved and we are just waiting for the green card in the mail. Couldn't recommend her more if you're reading this post. As a plus, I shopped around beforehand, getting 4-5 quotes from immigration attorneys in the D.C. Area and Yurika's cost was the most reasonable; that, coupled with her highly rated reviews, you can't go wrong.

I cannot more whole heartedly recommend attorney Yurika Cooper for your immigration needs. My husband and I had what turned out to be a fairly complex marriage based petition, and what should have been a 6 month relationship with attorney Cooper stretched into 4.5 years. During the long delay our case experienced (which, by the way, had nothing to do with Yurika's work - we experienced a long delay on USCIS' part) we not only were never charged more than the flat fee we had agreed to at the beginning of our case, but attorney Cooper continued to do whatever she could to push our case forward. Since we had to wait so long, again on a delay from USCIS, she eventually referred us to a litigator to file a lawsuit based on the delay. We liked attorney Cooper so much that we were genuinely terrified to leave her. As it turned out, we were eventually successful and the new attorney, who checked over everything that had been done before he came on, found that everything was complete and that she had done everything possible before recommending a lawsuit. As a client, I can tell you that Yurika is everything you want in a lawyer. She usually gets back to any email within 24 hours, and can usually set up calls within a few days. She is also open to office meetings. Anything that was mailed to her office was followed by an email saying that they received it, and she was prompt in getting things submitted. She also manages her own schedule, so you don't have to go through a gate keeper to get to her. In addition to being responsive, she has tremendous "bed side manner" and always takes time to chat and point out the positive aspects of your case. I know that bed side manner doesn't seem that important when you start a case, but if your case goes off the rails it will be incredibly important to you. Could not recommend her more, she literally saved my family.

Mr. Koehler represented me as the petitioner in a DC CPO case, a horrific affair, 9 months of stalking, harassment, threats of violence and extortion. If I could give 10 stars I would. Mr. Koehler is that unique combination of highly knowledgeable and competent, while being incredibly personable. He handled the horrendous twists and turns of my case with such humanity, care and genuine concern for me (and the law), all the while navigating the DC legal system and the process for me with the utmost professionalism. After winning my case yesterday, I had the best night's sleep I've had in months. I slept so peacefully and soundly -- like I haven't in a very long time. And, I feel safe and secure, and intensely happy that I don't have to face the prospect of another day wondering what awful thing the stalker might do to attempt some form of contact/show his "affection"....It's been the most horrendous nightmare. My family, friends and loved ones -- and most importantly I can't thank Mr. Koehler enough for restoring to me a feeling of safety and freedom. I owe him an immense debt of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, one Hoya to another.

As many people often do, I realized (too late) that I may have made a mistake in handling a situation and could have potentially opened myself up to liability. I called Jamison to get a quick take on my situation. To my surprise, he picked up the phone immediately and made time to discuss. He had immediate and detailed knowledge of the ins-and-outs of my situation. He asked pointed questions and gave me some quick, understandable feedback (off the top of his head). This really put my frantic mind at ease for the moment.

He was very patient and answered all my numerous and excessive questions. He even promptly replied to my email at 4 AM! Who does that? And of course, he got me the very desirable Deferred Prosecution Agreement. There are many lawyers in DC, and one may not know how/whom to choose. Well, I can tell you that within first minute of talking to him, I knew that I made the right choice. Most highly recommended!

This review is long overdue as it has been a few months since my case was settled. Nonetheless, I hope that it helps someone. Though I have a long story as it relates to my injury, I will keep it short — just know Mr. Kearney and his team were with me the entire duration. lock step. I was injured at work about ~8 years ago. My case was longer than many. During those eight years I went through every tactic you could think of from the various insurance companies and adjusters who handled my case. During those eight years, WC insurance found reasons to deny a treatment, or to not pay my benefits, or to make me wait 6 months for a hearing to only agree with our demands the day of (which happened on 2-3 occasions), and everything in between. Their goal is to make an already bad situation even worse. At times they succeeded. However, Mr. Kearney kept fighting for me and never budged. Even when things would become overwhelming and I wanted to quit, he remained calm and consistent while encouraging me to push forward. His tenacity resulted in a settlement that I had honestly almost lost hope on. That is what you get with Mr. Kearney. He is a known and respected entity in the world of injured persons/workers. Opposing counsel knows him and when they greet him you can sense the respect they have for him. Same goes for judges; he knows them, like really knows them. If you need someone to truly fight for you while keeping your best interest paramount, look no further. It is honestly a no-brainer. If he agrees to take you on as a client, jump at it. You will not find more competent, prepared, personalized, experienced, honest, and compassionate representation in the DC area. I went out of my way to thank Mr. Kearney and his team as much as I could while he represented me and am happy to have the pleasure of thanking him again, on a public forum, while encouraging anyone who has been hurt to make Donohoe-Kearney your first call. I hope it will also be your last. I pray everyone gets healthy and receives what they are due. Again, huge thanks to Mr. Kearney and his team, who I must add treat you like family and stay on top of the things you might not even know need staying on top of. The whole team is top-notch.

I first met Johnathan as opposing counsel on a case during my time at the Office of General Counsel at the USDA and I came away impressed. Despite his young age at the time in 2013, he carried himself extremely well and objected during the deposition when he felt the line of questioning had diverted into dangerous territory for his client. I took note of his litigation style, which resulted in a settlement for his client, and kept his card in my address book. Interesting enough, when I had my own work issues, I reached out to Passman & Kaplan and specifically requested Johnathan as my attorney. I'm pleased to say that I received two (2) favorable EEOC decisions due to the skill and acumen of Johnathan as his experience with MSPB and EEOC law for federal employees best helped me navigate the potential pitfalls for complainants in a system that heavily favors federal agencies. I wholeheartedly recommend Johnathan as he is competent, dedicated, and can handle clients with superior legal knowledge, like myself, but also laypersons with no law background.

If you are looking for a top caliber lawyer that is reasonable and understands her clients' needs, then Ms. Baker should be your top choice. I recently worked with Ms. Baker in the drafting, negotiation and execution of a pre-marital agreement; a situation that is often very difficult to navigate. She was responsive, extremely thorough and her zealous advocacy always took in to consideration the outcomes I desired. As a fellow lawyer, I have experienced many situations in which zealous advocacy has served only to further frustrate relations and outcomes for clients. And while zealous advocacy is often intended to achieve the best result for the respective client, it can have the opposite effect and drive parties further apart. Ms. Baker took the time to understand what I wanted and the results I sought to achieve. She was measured in her approach, and while her counsel always contemplated a best case scenario for me, it was balanced with an understanding of the outcomes I communicated to her I sought to achieve, irrespective of whether those outcomes were most advantageous to me. Ms. Baker is high caliber client-centric lawyer and an expert in this practice area. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal services in this space.

They knew that this would have a drastic and negative impact on my career so I decided to fight it. There are lawyers in DC who have mastered the Google algorithm so they kept coming up over and over and over again with every search for a DC criminal attorney and when I called to talk to them, I was referred to a different lower level attorney at their firm. I found Jon from his reviews after interviewing 3 other attorneys. His fees weren't the lowest or the highest but in the middle and he was flexible with a payment strategy. He spent time with me to understand the case and understood the outcome I was seeking. These charges were pure fiction and to this day am still in shock at how our legal system caters first to scammers, and only modestly to actual scam victims. Anyway, long story short, less than a week after meeting him we had our court date and he facilitated exactly what he said. If you've been fraudulently accused of something criminal, you need an attorney that will get in and fight for you. They shouldn't stress you out in order to prepare you for rate hikes or fees outside of what was originally agreed on. Jon gave me a flat fee solution and he did everything he said he would. If I ever had a close friend or family member that needed an attorney, I'd immediately refer them to Jon Norris without hesitation.

I first came to Jon a year ago with my very first legal issue. I was honestly floored by how unpretentious, and non-judgmental he was and immediately wanted to hire him. He made me feel at ease, and didn't make empty promises, yet he delivered everything he said and then some. This was a very emotional experience for me, and my future was uncertain in the beginning. At sentencing, Jon fought for me and made me feel much better about my future. Now 3 days later, I feel lighter, happier and free. I highly recommend Jon for his easy-going nature, and ability to make you feel at home. He's trustworthy and always delivers on anything that he says. He and his associates communicated well with me given the distance, and always kept me up to date with any changes. Overall, this was the best (albeit only) experience with a criminal defense attorney, and he was amazing!

I hired Jon to represent me in a misdemeanor sex abuse case related to an incident at a bar. I was initially represented by a public defender that told me the DA would not move off of the charge or offer any sort of diversion. The victim was so upset that she had requested jail time. I hired Jon, who after many court appearances and negotiation with the prosecutor's office got the case dismissed! No diversion, no plea deal - dismissal. It is my understanding that by using a more technical legal approach pertaining to the charges, as well as obtaining some evidence from the bar that worked in my favor, Jon was able to poke enough holes in the DA's case to convince them to drop it. In addition, Jon is responsive to client needs and questions throughout the process. He has a very professional demeanor in court and had a great rapport with the judge in my case. I would absolutely recommend Jon Norris. I would be sitting here with an ugly charge on my record if I had stayed with the public defender assigned to my case.

I am one of the lucky people who has called Mark my friend since 2001. He and I lost touch for a number of years, but I always felt like if I ever got in personal legal trouble, Mark would be the first person I would call. And, he was. Last year Mark swiftly stepped in to defend me against a TRO filed by my (now former) upstairs neighbor to gain advantage against my husband in a longstanding condo dispute. It was a dark period in my life, but Mark was able to resolve the TRO matter and the longstanding condo dispute. Any client that Mark takes on is a lucky client indeed. I also echo many of the clients reviews about Mark being smart, commanding, and overall excellent attorney and strategist.

I have had the privilege of representing two mutual clients with Mark and, in one of those cases, serving as co-counsel. Mark is take charge lawyer in the courtroom who strikes the right balance of advocating as zealously as I have ever seen for a client, while maintaining the proper decorum and respect toward the bench. From a pre-trial perspective, Mark is a creative thinker who develops a strategy and solution that is likely not apparent to most who would assess the situation. I continue to highly recommend Mark to clients who are in need of services in his area.

I met Mark over July 4th weekend in 2017. It's a remarkable journey since. He is a rare combination of intellect, knowledge, quick thinking, energy, passion, and compassion to his clients. He is a REAL trial lawyer. He discussed or emailed his plans along the way. He encouraged my involvement in the filings. As the defendant, one MUST involve in his/her case seriously, and I did. He was aggressive, but he knew when to be humble. This was particularly important in my case, as it took many unique turns. He executed well with an excellent outcome; a dismissal of multiple criminal charges in a federal court. We didn't always agree, but he respected my disagreement(s). I recommend him strongly in all criminal matters.

So I was facing Charges for driving while drunk in DC and they found my concealed carry (pistol) under my seat and my Virginia License to conceal carry wasn’t recognized by the District of Columbia. But Thankfully Mr. Shawn Sukumar’s amazing Knowledge and experience in his field was able to get the gun charges dropped and I was able to avoid any jail time (aside from the initial arrest) and in the end had 6 months unsupervised Probation with 90 hours of community service, 12 hours of an alcohol class, online driving safety course, Online MADD course and a 100 fee I believe was it. And after all that the judge signed a Youth act order meaning my conviction was removed from my record. All in all I was very satisfied with the end result of my case. Highly recommend this gentleman, he is very professional and makes sure his clients understand everything and is very good about staying in contact with his clients and keeping them updated. You would Definitely want him representing you if you needed an attorney.

Sukumar is the best lawyer! I hired him for my criminal case that he fought so hard for me for in my defense that the case was dismissed. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with him and the firm was. He works very hard to make sure you have winning results. He communicates with you by phone or email. He follow ups with you about your cases. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. He was awsome! From the moment I first hired him to represent me until my case was over, I was at ease and comfortable with him handling my case. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, I highly recommend Shawn Sukumar! Thank you Shawn!

Mr. Markowwicz has been hands down the BEST lawyer I could've ever had on my case. From the day he was hired he set high expectations and gave me his opinions based on the information I gave him straight forward. Any and all questions were answered, and he fought for me more than I honestly felt that I would've been able to fight for myself in court. Throughout the case, he made sure to keep me updated on everything and even gave me advice on the things I needed to do in order to help strengthen my argument when it came time to do so. To sum it up he was able to help me win FULL primary custody in a case where I truly believed I'd only get visitation rights. Words can't express my gratitude. Thank you, Mr. Markowics

I had a very technically difficult immigration case, which most other law firms would not even bother to take up as they said that my chances of success are near zero. Not only did Morris and Carolyn take up my case, they also successfully managed to conclude my 'impossible' case as I am now a permanent resident. The team is highly professional and are proficient experts in immigration law. One of the best things about the team is that they work very hard and efficiently, hence as a client I rarely had to run after them as they were on top of all issues and very proactive.

Dear Friends, I would like to say how grateful me and my family are that we met Mr. Efe Poturoglu!!! If it wasn't for his dedication, hard work, efficiency, knowledge, professionalism and caring heart, no one would have had our cases resolved! Can I tell you, that we had a lawyer, prior to Mr Efe, who was working on our cases for years, and kept getting it failed, or pending, never cared, charged for every question and every e-mail, and was just absolutely forgetful. Got our cases mixed up. And then she left on vacation a week before our MTR response was due! It was a total nightmare!!!! My sister was about to give up! And then we have found Mr Efe! Actually, on this web-site! The reviews that I read about him sounded just like our circumstance! He truly was not afraid to take upon himself a very complicated case. He worked so hard, and in 1 week he achieved what other lawyers couldn't do in over 2 years! am not saying that you should be waiting till the last moment. I am just saying that is that GREAT!!! My other friends couldn't get their citizenship issues fixed, and Mr Poturoglu did it for them. They couldn't be happier!! And now me! I had quite a difficult case, and Efe was so amazing and so helpful, he assured us and informed us about each step that was going to take place. He was checking on us. He never forgot to follow up. And answered every question we had! And he won it!!!!! All my papers were good, it's just that the circumstances were complicated and Efe made it possible for me and my husband to enjoy my Green Card!!!!!! Yay!!!!! Thank you, Efe!!!!!:))))) You are part of the family!!!!!

I had an EEO case and felt very lost. I reached out to a previous law firm before Pitre and Associates, I did not have much faith in them. I continued researching and came across Pitre & Associates. My case was lengthy but it was handled and walked away with what was necessary. My dignity, and being able to apply for the gov with a new, clean SF-50. Overrides all they (the opponents)attended to do to my career. Was also compensated for damages. Pros: you will come out with something good amd benefitial with Pitre & Associates. Cons: It can get costly. Stand up for what you believe in, but be ready to spend some coins. The great thing is Mr. Pitre fights for you to get that money back. Thank you God!! I would certainly hire the firm again. I recommend the firm to anyone feeling lost and dealing with an EEO, Harrassment, hostile work environment, discrimination. I pray, I never get in a position like that again. It was emotionally draining. Michelle was my fave attorney, although I did not have her for too long. It is not just a job to her, she cares for people. I sensed that. Mr. Pitre is extremely knowledgeable and extremely responsive; he became my other fave at the end. My wish is: I had found them sooner for some advice before I had even attempted to deal with this. I was high risk pregnant in a very unhealthy situation. Some professional guidance would have helped. They are on my emergency call list if I come across something like this again.....God willing.

I am a father of two kids and a project manager. My divorce was the first process in my life that I had no idea how to manage despite having a career working with people and two advanced degrees. My (then) wife simply dropped all communication and I could not get her to talk about the roadmap for separation and divorce even though we still lived under the same roof (and it was her idea). After being in this situation for over a year, I was getting depressed. I had consulted an attorney who had recommended me to just give my would-be-ex everything that she wanted. Then I found Ms Moheyer's support group and it changed my life. Every other week, for years, she has led this call-in forum for fathers at different stages of their divorce situations - pro bono, as community service! That group gave me the knowledge of what's possible and the confidence to be able to move things forward. In addition, I took an online workshop (the best $100 spent in my life) and got the tips on establishing dialogue with the partner that leads to re-establishing the degree of mutual trust enough to complete the divorce. Several month later, we were able to nail down some bullet points that were appropriate for us and helped us avoid litigation. We filed for mutual consent divorce with property separation and shared custody, and several more months later this was done. I still can't believe that in a matter of nine months, Ms Mohyer's support group and her workshop resources helped me get from a very dark place to personal freedom, stamped and approved by the court in MD. I still attend the support group to discuss the challenges of co-parenting, and this experience is invaluable. Here is why I would recommend this attorney: *she never pushes services on you. Instead, she lays out the options and I saved a lot by doing the things I had an option of doing the prep work by myself (like collecting some paperwork) that another attorney would have done at a handsome hourly rate). *She uses psychology to provide tools that enable some kind of dialogue between parties, making the process less painful and less expensive. I have recommended Ms Jennifer Moheyer to a number of friends, and now that my divorce is in the past and the "paper is dry", I hope someone in a similar situation (in DC, MD, VA) can get assistance.

Jenna helped me level the field in 2 days!! She first cleared the fog, and helped me see the abuse clearly. Then she strategized with her team, came up with a plan and gave me clear instructions. It was extremely helpful, I could not be happier with how it turned out. My divorce is pending, and I have no doubt it will turn out the way I want with Jenna's help. Very highly recommended!

Ms. Axmith is a lawyer who most definitely stands out. I called her office to leave a message at 10 pm and was surprised to find she picked up the phone because she was working late on a case. She gave me some initial advice that put me at ease, and didn't charge any consultation fees. My initial impression of her is that she is a very experienced and no-nonsense lawyer who would go to bat for you if you were being threatened or intimidated. I really liked her from the get go because I felt she was on my side without judging me or making me feel small. I walked away feeling empowered and less befuddled. I would definitely recommend calling her if you are in a bind and she will help you or steer you in the right direction. All the best to you, your clients and your endeavors Ms. Axmith.

I practice law in Miami Florida for more than 30 years. I needed a smart and aggressive real estate litigator to assist my daughter, a college student in DC. I found Ms. Axsmith online, called her and was impressed on her quick grasp of the problem. I feel comfortable knowing now that I have secured a competent able professional to assist my child living far from home. Having personally litigated hundreds of trials in state and federal courts in a number of states I know a competent lawyer when I meet one. I recommend this one highly.
