After leaving two different lawyers, I literally needed to pray to God for helping me to find a responsible lawyer! Melissa is His answer for me. First of all, Melissa respects her profession - she realizes that it is a SERVICE to the clients that many lawyers do not realize nowadays. She reads, analyze, and remembers the information so that she does not need the client to re-tell the stories over and over again. Many lawyers nowadays would just refuse to share the headspace to keep their clients' information, so the clients have to pay to re-tell the information over and over again. She presents the facts accurately in court and manages to capture the judge's attention and respect. Her staff are friendly and professional. While all these are great legal services, there is something that Melissa does as well - she cares! She actually cares about the clients and makes the effort to provide more information so that she can empower the clients to make their own decisions. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

I cannot thank MLG enough for their exceptional support during my O1A visa process. I reached out to them under a tight deadline, and while most other lawyers I consulted doubted it was possible to meet it, Rakhel at MLG assured me they would do their best. I had been seeking advice from Rakhel for nearly six months before officially engaging their services, so I felt confident that she would truly put in her best effort. I remember telling her after the first call (where she assesses if your profile is ready or not) that I felt a lot more confident going into the process than I did before.
Once we began, I worked closely with Anda on Rakhel’s team, and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive lawyer! Anda and I communicated daily for two months as she diligently worked on my case. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was incredibly thorough, clear, polite, and encouraging, all while being remarkably efficient. Every email I sent during that time received a prompt and detailed response from Anda, which provided me with much-needed motivation during such a stressful period—O1A applications are no easy task!
When the final case was ready, I was genuinely impressed. The evidence I had provided was presented with such a compelling narrative. While no one can guarantee the outcome of visa applications like these, Anda and Rakhel did an outstanding job by offering timely, consistent legal advice and support. Their dedication to my case, given my timeline, made a world of difference and I highly recommend them!

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional legal service provided by Rakhel Milstein and her outstanding team. Her unwavering commitment, profound knowledge of immigration law, and compassionate approach have been pivotal in securing my green card, marking a transformative chapter in my life. From the outset, Rakhel showcased an extraordinary level of professionalism. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with a never-give-up attitude, exemplified her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. Rakhel’s strategic and insightful approach to navigating the complexities of my case demonstrated an excellent understanding of the complex legal landscape. It was evident that she not only possesses deep expertise but also a true passion for her work, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a successful application process. What truly sets Rakhel apart is her commitment to putting her clients first. Her open communication, timely responses, and clear explanations alleviated the inherent stress associated with immigration matters. Rakhel took the time to understand my individual circumstances, approaching the legal process with a rare blend of humanity that made me feel genuinely cared for. Throughout the entire journey, Rakhel tackled daunting challenges that we faced with resilience and perseverance. This unyielding determination, coupled with her remarkable competence, instilled confidence and reassurance during my arduous journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Rakhel to anyone seeking an attorney with an exceptional level of professionalism, steadfast commitment, and a genuine concern for her clients.

My experience with Shapiro Legal Group PLLC WAS GREAT. I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

Very unprofessional law firm. I had the misfortune to work with Mr. Uri Frenkel, who kept asking for the same files over and over for weeks without even checking to see that he already had them. In the end, he blamed David Frenkel for taking my file to Florida and lost it. It's just a waste of time and money to go for their services.

Rachel made this process so simple and was a pleasure to work with! She was patient with me, explained things over and over until I fully understood it all and did all the hard work for me. She made sure I had a strong case and was there for me every step of the way. I was expecting the process to take close to 2 years but she helped me build such a strong case, I received my green card only 6 months after I submitted my application. I am extremely grateful for her guidance, professionalism, and knowledge in this field. She really made this process a breeze!

Where do I even begin with the exceptional experience I had at the Law Office of Eric Richman? If you’re looking for a law firm that combines expertise, compassion, and a touch of genius, then this is the place for you.
From the moment I stepped into the office, I was greeted with a warmth and professionalism that immediately put my mind at ease. Eric Richman himself is a master of his craft, exuding confidence and wisdom without ever coming across as aloof or intimidating. It’s clear he’s not just another lawyer — he’s a problem solver, and he gets you. I could practically hear the theme song to “The A-Team” playing in the background every time he took a call, because Eric doesn’t just handle cases, he rescues them.
The office itself? Immaculately kept, bright, and welcoming. It’s a space that says, “We take your legal matters seriously, but we’re not going to make you feel like you’re in a stuffy, intimidating law firm.” It’s clear that Eric and his team have created an environment where clients are treated with the utmost respect and care.
If you want to work with a legal team that actually listens, genuinely cares, and delivers results with finesse, I can’t recommend the Law Office of Eric Richman highly enough. They’re the real deal. You can finally rest easy knowing your case is in the best possible hands.

I would like to first to thank David and his team for resolving my case in a professional manner. The case was unique in respect but I felt from past performance and reviews I made the right decision on choosing his firm
Dave used his experience and expertise from his days with the Manhattan’s da office as a prosecutor
Dave and his team take each case as personal experience knowing what the clients are dealing with and trying to resolve and he is there from start to finish it’s the personal touch that he offers that some of the larger law firms can’t offer
His honesty and integrity is also what makes the difference I would have been lost without Dave and his team I consider him a great friend and someone I would highly recommend to anyone that faced similar challenges as I did
David is there for the individual and family in law practice and if he can’t handle the case he will work along with you to find a firm to help you he is very dedicated to his career helping people out in legal matters thank you so much for helping me in my case and honest google review from other clients. That helped my decision is find a right attorney as well

Thereafter the advice I was given made a lot of sense and finally involved my contacting a specialist solicitor in another company - a contact that proved fruitful and for which I am most grateful. My solicitor was patient, empathetic, and did what was necessary should a Court appearance have proved necessary. So far it has not, but I have been assured of this solicitor's continued involvement if and when necessary, which leaves me with a good feeling

Going through the immigration process is not easy. There is so much to navigate and Khalique Law did everything to never let me feel the stress or pressure. Sumaiya made me feel like I was her one and only client; she balanced her clients so well I was none the wiser.

It took us a few months, but that was only because we took breaks in between to reflect and regroup.

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries.
So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good.
This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing.
I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured.
The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians.
Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted.
If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip.

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value. Justin Kuehn explained the shareholder derivative process up front and filed our case right away. They kept me updated with the case status and got me an incentive fee. Great firm for a shareholder derivative case!

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You
An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process. These lawyers provide legal guidance on various immigration matters, such as obtaining visas, gaining permanent residency (green cards), applying for citizenship, and defending clients in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration lawyers also assist with employment-based immigration, asylum applications, and resolving issues related to visas or immigration status.
Whether you're trying to immigrate to the U.S., facing deportation, or sponsoring an employee or family member for a visa, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your legal options and navigate the often complicated legal system.
When Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?
Hiring an immigration lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you are dealing with U.S. immigration laws, whether for personal or business reasons. Common reasons to hire an immigration lawyer include:
- Visa applications: If you need assistance applying for a visa, whether it's a work visa (H-1B), student visa (F-1), or tourist visa (B-1/B-2), a lawyer can help ensure the application is properly completed and submitted.
- Green card applications: If you're seeking permanent residency, an immigration lawyer can guide you through the process, whether through family sponsorship, employment, or the Diversity Visa (lottery) program.
- Deportation or removal defense: If you’re facing deportation or removal from the U.S., a lawyer can defend your case in immigration court and seek to prevent removal.
- Asylum applications: If you’re seeking asylum due to persecution or fear of persecution in your home country, a lawyer can help you prepare a strong case and file for asylum.
- Family reunification: If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident looking to bring family members to the U.S., a lawyer can assist with the family sponsorship process.
- Citizenship and naturalization: If you're ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, a lawyer can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure you meet all the requirements.
- Business immigration: If you're an employer seeking to hire foreign workers, a lawyer can assist with employment-based visas, labor certification, and compliance with immigration regulations.
- Special immigration categories: Immigration lawyers also handle complex cases, such as visas for victims of human trafficking (T visa), crime victims (U visa), or those seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Hiring an immigration lawyer early in the process can help you avoid delays, errors, and possible denials due to incomplete or incorrect applications.

Immigration lawyers generally charge for their services based on the type of immigration case and the complexity of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

- Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as deportation defense or appeals, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing immigration matters, some clients may need to pay a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some immigration lawyers or nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in asylum or humanitarian cases.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.

Top Questions to Ask an Immigration Lawyer
Before hiring an immigration lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Important questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with immigration cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s family-based immigration, employment visas, or asylum. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including any challenges you might face. -
How long will the process take?
Immigration cases can take time, so ask how long it may take to process your application or resolve your legal issue. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly. -
What documents do I need to provide?
Ask the lawyer about the documentation required to support your case, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or employment contracts.
How to Check the Credibility of an Immigration Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable immigration lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their state bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific immigration law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in immigration law and have experience handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle immigration cases.
- Check for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) can indicate the lawyer’s expertise and commitment to immigration law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an immigration lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Passport and immigration documents: Bring your passport, visa, and any documents related to your current immigration status.
- Family documents: If you're applying for a family-based visa or green card, bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of family relationships.
- Employment information: For employment-based visas, provide your employment contract, offer letter, or other documentation of your job.
- Criminal records (if applicable): If you have any criminal history, bring copies of court records and other relevant documents.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any prior immigration applications, visas, or issues with immigration authorities.
