I was introduced to Bruce Rose almost a dozen years ago. During the last decade he has handled all of my legal affairs. Bruce is a Rolodex of legal knowledge, he is always around to give you good advice, and solve problems, when you need him. He is genuinely a good person who has impeccable ethics and is reachable in a timely manner. Bruce sets the bar high, other lawyers can only try and live up his standards of law. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Simply put, Randy Hribal knows his stuff and gets it done. He’s has been my real estate attorney 4 times now — twice as a home buyer, once to refi, and once to sell FSBO. Each time he’s been responsive, informative, friendly, and 100% on-the-ball. What’s more, his rates are surprisingly low. I say look no further than my attorney Randy.

John Antia helped me with my mother’s case. Everything was smooth and fast. Today 6/6/24 my mother received her green card. I am beyond thankful I found him. I have recommended a couple of people and their cases are already in process with good outcomes. Thank You John!

Mr. Antia was introduced to me by a relative who is an immigrant activist. My application for permanent residency was on the verge of being denied due to the inadequate handling of my case by a previous lawyer. Mr. Antia greeted me warmly and managed my case with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. He stood by my side throughout every stage of the process, effectively remedying the situation. As a result of his dedicated efforts, I am now writing this review as a proud U.S. citizen.

This person was extremely unprofessional and rude. He was our immigration lawyer for a couple of months until we found our new and excellent lawyer. He worked on my mothers case, however due to his character and his lack of accessibility he forced us to turn elsewhere. From the beginning he mentioned he would not submit any paperwork until the full payment was done! Something our new lawyer never did or asked for. So of course to move things faster we paid over $3,000!! So he could start “working”. The only thing he really did was make us fill out papers. Trying to get a sponsor, we had several family members reach out to him but of course he was too busy. We wasted precious time on him since then. We tried calling him and he would get annoyed or simply didn’t think we were being polite for his likes. But I think any person would get frustrated after paying this person +$3,500 already and leaving you on voicemail. Hardly ever replied to his emails….. so there wasn’t really a way of communication. I think for a women, who’s only wish was to see her dying mother would become desperate like any normal human being. I think this reaction would be explained since time was of the essence and it’s important to answer calls ? At the end he mentioned, “he’d consider taking us back “ Of course when we emailed him back saying we found better law advise elsewhere because we couldn’t work with someone who didn’t prioritize their clients and got annoyed from the phone calls. We begged and pleaded for a full refund or something reasonable he immediately said yes and only refunded us $700 out of the +$3,500….. for his “time” the only thing he truly did was fill out paperwork and not answer phone calls. I truly believe this man was not worth those $2,800 he kept for just filling out paperwork and not answering phone calls.
It’s also very weird and suspicious new comments started appearing after my mother’s initial comment when he didn’t have any before ????? Don’t beg for positive feedback. Let it be natural. It looks very bad that new positive and 5 star reviews appear after her initial comment when he never had any to begin with.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
