I had a very great experience working with the staffs of Pardo law firm on my US immigration journey. Attorney Brooke Claiborne and her paralegal Rossmery Palacio were excellent in handling my permanent residence case (which was approved on the interview day).
They made me feel at ease and were available to answer any queries I may have and as such, the whole process was really smooth.
Right from when you walk in through the door, the atmosphere is highly welcoming.
I'll highly recommend the firm to anyone who's going through any immigration issue(s) as they are top notch and they really know their stuff.
Muchas gracias señoras.

I started working with Alex after I got my RFE for the K-1 Visa application I filed for my wife. We were able to get the visa approved, and then he and his team helped me with the I-485 process as well, which was approved.

He is a great person to work with, which will help you reduce all the stress that are related to the immigration journey. I highly recommend Alex Muntean

My name is Laurentiu and I am a Professional Tennis Coach.I would highly recommended Charlotte Immigration Law Firm, especially Ben Sneyder and Alex Muntean. They were always available and extremely helpful with all my questions. I am a professional tennis coach, I came to the United States with Visa O1 Extraordinary Ability Athletics and my first attempt to receive EB1 Extraordinary Ability Athletics was denied, because of poor quality of work of one of the lawyers in DC area. To transfer from O1 Extraordinary Abilithy to EB1 Extraordinary Ability is one of the hardest process towards Green Card Resident. After I found Charlotte Immigration Law Firm, both Ben and Alex from the first conversation showed their professionalism and dedication for their work. They helped me to fix and organize my paperwork, and follow me through each step of the process. No matter how difficult my case was and complicated problems were every time they showed confidence, professionalism and a great support. If you want confident and highly professional attorney Charlotte Immigration Law Firm is the place to go!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben Frear, an immigration lawyer who demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and a personal touch throughout the process of obtaining my E2 visa. From start to finish, Ben's commitment to my case, coupled with his outstanding communication skills and the great chemistry we shared, made the complex visa application process a seamless and successful experience.
Ben's professionalism was evident in every aspect of his work. He displayed a deep understanding of immigration law and provided invaluable guidance specific to the complexities of my E2 visa application. His attention to detail and expertise were instrumental in navigating the intricacies of a visa involving two investors. Ben's ability to analyze and address the unique challenges of our case showcased his dedication to ensuring a positive outcome.
One of the standout features of working with Ben was his excellent communication. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed at every stage, providing clear explanations and updates. This level of transparency and responsiveness not only eased any concerns I had but also demonstrated his commitment to client satisfaction. Ben's approachable demeanor and willingness to address any questions or concerns promptly contributed to a stress-free experience.
The chemistry between Ben and myself played a crucial role in the success of my E2 visa application. His ability to establish a rapport and foster a collaborative working relationship made the process enjoyable. This dynamic relationship created an environment where I felt comfortable discussing any aspects of my case, ultimately contributing to the positive outcome we achieved together.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Frear for anyone seeking an immigration lawyer. His professionalism, attention to detail, outstanding communication skills, and the ability to build strong client relationships set him apart. If you're navigating the complexities of an E2 visa, Ben's expertise and personalized approach make him an excellent choice. My experience with Ben was not only successful but also enjoyable, and I am grateful for his guidance throughout the entire process.

After "interviewing" multiple attorneys I decided to move ahead with Frear for my E2, I am very glad that I made that decision. I have very high expectations and I am happy to say that Ben met and surpassed all of them. He is very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and patient. He was always ready to explain the process and answer every question I had (which were many). I encourage anyone to contact Frear for all your E2 needs.
I will be definitely using Frear for all my legal needs in the future.

I approached the Law Office of Kelli Allen in about February of this year ( 2023) to help me submit my Green Card Application. I was assigned to Berna Chacon- a bilingual specialist in data accumulation for Green Card submissions. Thank G-d I was. She was absolutely outstanding. I mean truly- it took me a while to accumulate the necessary data ( necessary being whatever Berna told me to put together) and we submitted my application in June of this year. Today is November 24, 2023, and guess what- I have my Green Card Truly great work by Berna -what a help she was! I couldnt have done it so seamlessly without her!. Prices at this office are reasonable to. And nice, and accomodating people! I would go out of my way to recommend this law office and Berna to handle anybody's immigration matters. What a great job they did and I am one happy camper!

We came to Cynthia at the recommendation of Attorney Jack Pinnix after finding that my husband’s immigration status was threatened. We had a very complicated case that had next to no precedence upon which she could rely to argue our case. She reached out to colleagues and found a few cases that could possibly help us. The bottom line is that her tenacity and legal expertise has allowed us to remain an intact family permanently. We will forever be grateful!

After a very difficult Visa process, we hired Tanya to help us get my husband to the US. She was so very thorough, I still have the two boxes of "proof" she submitted to USCIS. Finally his second interview came and he was approved after a 5 year ADministrative process. When his citizenship was an option. We reached out and hired her again. It took us less than a year, she made sure he had all of the documents, all of his quesitons answered and made sure he was prepared for the interview. He passed the interview and took the oath, registered to vote the very same day. Just received an email from her to let us know she has closed his file. I should have hired her in the very beginning. However, she did a fantastic job making sure we followed the rules and submitted all of the correct documentation. I'm glad we don't have to do this again but if we did, I would reach out to her immediately and let her to the job she does so well.

My husband and I had recently married. It was a joyous time for us, but there was a lot of worry that we knew we would have to immediately deal with. I was not in the US legally and being sent back to my country temporary or forever was our biggest fear. We were referred to Vicky and reach out to her. Immediately Vicky met with us and had calmness to her regarding our case. She treated us with the upmost importance and showed us empathy, concern and most of all confidence. Vicky showed great knowledge of the immigration law. She was quick to begin our case and was there for us for every question or concern. She turned a worry some time into a time of joy and anticipation. We had moved out of state after the beginning of our proceedings and Vicky stayed with us throughout never missing a beat. I never had to return to my country while awaiting my interview and now I am here legally. I will never be able to thank Vicky and her office enough.

Daniel, is a great lawyer. I was looking for a lawyer around the Charlotte area, and I saw more than 5 other lawyers in Central Avenue and Uptown and for the most part I felt they are not trustworthy, and they were giving me some hard time with flexibility and hidden fees. For instance, one of the lawyers gave me an offer and two minutes later I forgot to ask him something and he told me that would'nt be included, and also another thing would'nt be included. I calculated the fees and I found out that I will pay double what the lawyer offered. I'm glad I found Daniel! I was referred to him by one of my co-workers and he told me he is very trustworthy and fees are fixed. Daniel welcomed me into this office and went straight to the purpose of the visit and mentioned the offer orally and within an hour we signed the contract discussed the fees, and Daniel insisted that there were no "hidden fees". Also, as I'm an Auditor and I have late nights at work and even I get no lunch break sometimes, Daniel offered me to have appointments on Saturdays, which I think no lawyer in the Charlotte area would do. He is very responsive to the phone calls and emails, unlike some other lawyers who never answer you back. Daniel makes sure that he follows up with every mail from the immigration and updates me instantly. Thank you Daniel!!

I had to work with multiple immigration attorneys at different times. I had a complex immigration case, and Mr. Ricky Malik and his staff members provided me with an excellent legal service. They were extremely helpful and professional. Mr. Malik discussed with me in detail all the possible scenarios. He explained to me the pros and cons in each scenario, and the best possible course of action we wanted to consider for each of them. I could clearly see his knowledge and expertise in immigration matters. He gave me an overall clear picture on the possible outcome. Also, he always seemed to me very approachable and friendly. Thanks to Mr. Malik, I got my case approved very quickly with no issues.

I am very honored to meet a Vietnamese lawyer, Mr. Dinh Tran. His dedicated support in Vietnamese has helped me achieve the great success I have today, becoming a permanent resident in the United States. Sometimes when I had questions, the lawyer always answered them via email or phone in Vietnamese. This is a great advantage for me in terms of language. I hope that everyone who meets Mr. Dinh Tran will receive the desired results. I sincerely thank the Lawyer with all my infinite gratitude.

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You
An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process.
