My husband passed away cutting my income into half & I was unable to pay my credit card bill. They were suing me for over $3200. I contacted Tadross Law. George was great. Tadross Law deals with Midland Credit regularly and he was able to successfully win the case for me. I didn't have to be there which took a lot of the stress off of me. Tadross Law's fee was less then a lot of the others I looked at & George worked it so the court fee was included in with their fee which made this whole process much more affordable and stress free then I could have ever hoped for. I give you my word it was a great experience & if you feel like the underdog & no one has your back, ir luck just didn't cube your way, , please reach out to Tadross Law and talk to them. They will prove you wrong. I promise you will not regret it!
Sincerely,
T. Strassel (Very Appreciative & Grateful customer)

Getson & Schatz handled my EB2 NIW follow-to-join case as the spouse of a Green Card holder, and I had the pleasure of working with Brian Getson.
The entire process was straightforward and took about six months, culminating in the visa approval on the day of the consular interview.
Brian's most crucial advice was on timing our paper filings to minimize processing times, which saved us at least a year of separation between me and my spouse. This advice was not provided by other attorneys we consulted. For that alone we are very grateful.
Additionally, Brian's extensive knowledge of the process, attention to detail, and responsiveness to our questions were invaluable. I personally enjoyed his honest, no-nonsense, and to-the-point responses.
Overall, we had an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Brian Getson and Getson & Schatz.

I would like to recommend Brian and his team to researchers who plan to go through EB-2 or EB-1.
I am an entomologist with specific expertise in pests of agriculture, so I had hoped to obtain a green card through EB2 National Interest Waiver. Now it is a reality.
I found Brian through the internet and from the start he was clear and straightforward.
He explained to me what are the strong sides of my case and where are potential weaknesses. If I would prepare a case by myself, I would definitely make all of the mistakes that Brian helped me to avoid.
He is extremely responsible, and detail focused. He answered every single email in very short terms.
During our work through the case he and his team were always extremely fast when preparing my paperwork.
Overall it took about 6 month to prepare the case. 18 month to receive an NIW approval, and then only 4 month to receive a green card ( I applied for residency only after I had approved the case ).
I think Brian prices are fair and just and it is comfortable to pay fees on a monthly basis, especially if you consider it as a great investment in your future.
Overall, I am impressed how good and straightforward the whole process was.
I wish Brian many more years of happy life with successful cases that will change the lives of many people.
Thank you, Brian.

Mr. Carman helped us file for my mother’s green card. Throughout the process, he was very responsive and helpful. He replied to my emails in a very short period of time and was always there when needed from the start till the end of the case. He is very knowledgeable and gave phenomenal advice for the interview.

Douglas Carman is simply outstanding! He immediately instilled confidence during our initial consultation for my J1 hardship waiver. He made the process as seamless as I could have hoped for. He was exceptionally thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient. He was consistently available and adhered to his stated timelines. We successfully gathered all necessary documentation and submitted it promptly. While awaiting my hardship waiver approval, he provided invaluable guidance on pursuing an O-1 visa, which I successfully obtained. My hardship waiver was approved, and he then represented me for my green card permanent resident application, which has just been approved. He has been exceptional throughout this entire process, and I wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation. If you're in search of an immigration attorney, look no further - Douglas Carman is the one you need!

We worked with Adam for a number of years on our case and can't say a single unfavorable word about his work.
From the very first meeting Adam kept us most well informed about potential outcomes of the process, we've always had a clear view of the situation we're in or are going into. All potential ways of handling our case were explained with the most transparency.
Adam's most striking virtue is - not often found in his field - honesty, which we value highly on top of his excellent skills as an attorney.
We've never felt being played or treated any shady way. Even if our friends with similar cases reported rather different updates on current laws and regulations from their lawyers, it always turned out that Adam's advice and view were correct and well-tuned.
I don't know what your case is and where are you heading with your immigration process, but I assure you Adam Solow is a man to get you through it.
I'd like to also thank Adam and his team for what they did for us. We'll always be thankful and remember what a wonderful people you are.

Matthew is the best immigration lawyer. My case was complicated. I did not remove my conditional green card and remarried. Matthew always responses promptly and answers all my questions. He filed the lawsuit to the immigration to get attention and decision. Finally, I got my 10 years green card in my hand. Very recommended.

Mr. Gonzales was the first immigration lawyer I worked with. He was extremely personable, helpful, friendly. He walked us through all of the steps it would take and came up with a plan for my husband to immigrant from the Philippines to the USA. The whole process only took one year, which was faster than expected. We would definitely work with Mr. Gonzales again for our immigration needs.

I'm an MBA prospect, with a sensitive nationality, and I entered the country on a student visa. I decided later on to pursue a spouse-based application for permanent residency. I started looking around for a competent immigration lawyer to advise me of the more complicated aspics of immigration law. After few unsatisfying encounters with other lawyers, I was very fortunate to land upon the Gonzales & Tiagha team. Mr. Gonzales was fantastic. He advised, prepared and processed my green card application and prep'd me for the interview. It was a stress free process.
I appreciate the fact that Gonzales & Tiagha were very welcoming, accessible, and responsive, but most importantly that they were flexible with my payment installments. They also advised me to take a different step witch secured me a US green card that's valid for a longer period of what I've initially was asking for! I'm extremely satisfied.
Without any hesitation, they're my go-to for any legal issue, highly recommended.

Our son recommended Kiran Mahal to us as he just completed his will under his guidance. We met with Kiran and were impressed with his knowledge in his review of our will. He guided us in updating the will and making the necessary changes to our wills, living wills and power of attorney. He answered all of our questions, even anticipating questions that we hadn't thought of. We never felt rushed through the process. We both highly recommend Kiran and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.

You won't find a more committed immigration attorney than Nicole Simon. She is a highly experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and detailed person.
Nicole was with us from the start to finish and made the whole process easy for me to understand what I needed to get done and how to do it. This gave me the greatest peace of mind so I can focus on my day-to-day business commitments. I enjoyed working with Nicole and I would recommend her to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole Simon in our process of securing a Permanent Resident (Green Card) for my husband, an Italian citizen who had been working successfully in Philadelphia on a work visa for several years. Nicole explained every step of the process in full detail and gave us a very accurate timeline. Having previously used a different attorney for the initial work visa and been frustrated by his inaccessibility and lack of coordination of our matter with his associates, it was refreshing to retain Nicole who gave personal oversight and attention to detail. She expertly prepped us for our INS interview and also gave us moral support that made the day of the interview go smoothly and without stress. Nicole cares about her clients and makes them feel at ease. She was always quick to respond to email questions and phone calls. We would not hesitate to recommend her for the Green Card process, and fully intend to continue working with her on my husband's U.S. Citizenship process. A consummate professional.

My wife and I were referred to Nicole Simon by one of my wife's friends. At our first meeting Nicole explained the process we were about to begin in great detail and reassured us that everything was going to be ok. Nicole also was very clear in explaining to us the fees that we were going to incur and the due dates for each step in the process. It was very comforting to have an attorney like Nicole that knows the process so well, has been so successful with her clients and treats you like close friends rather than another file. In what was a protracted process we were always able to reach out to Nicole and receive immediate feedback on what was happening, what it meant in the process and what to expect next. My wife and I were so excited when Nicole shared with us the exciting news of my wife receiving her Resident Visa status. I do not know how we ever could have gone through all of this without the counsel of such an esteemed attorney like Nicole Simon. Words cannot express enough our gratitude and we could not offer a stronger recommendation to anyone seeking assistance with immigration issues that to recommend the services of Nicole Simon, Esquire.

I was wrongly convicted [shoplifting] and was concerned I wouldn't be approved for Citizenship although I've lived in the U.S. for over 30 years.
Several attorneys I consulted with were very negative but then my wife's friend mentioned M.R. Cohen was THE lawyer to go to with tough cases. I met with him at his NE office [he has others in Center City and NJ] and instead of discouraging me, told me I should apply and he thought there was a good chance he could get me approved!
As we processed the application I immediately saw a big difference. His attention to detail was amazing. Again and again he suggested better ways to deal with an issue, made me get additional documents, etc., but in the end I understood why his 30+ years experience is a big edge to the other lawyers I had met!
I was approved and am very grateful Mr. Cohen agreed to represent me. He's helping me sponsor my brother and mother and I'd never want to use any other lawyer.

I have had Christina Galvin do immigration law related work for me several times over the last 4-5 years. She helped me to bring my wife and children from the Dominican Republic, to here in Phila. My wife and stepson both arrived here as permanent residents. She is currently helping my wife through her U.S. citizenship application and interview. I have referred others to Christina who have had good outcomes with their immigration issues. Throughout many difficult and confusing times she has demonstrated a steady, level headed approach, along with timely and professional legal interactions with the powers that be! Ms Galvin is a great communicator as well as being easy to get in touch with. When there are questions or problems that need to be addressed, she can be counted on, to respond quickly and effectively. Christina is also someone who sees her clients as real human beings, just like her, with real feelings and real needs. Although we dont "socialize" outside of the office or court, my wife and I both consider her to be a true friend. I would reccomend her to anyone struggling with an immigration issue. Christina gives her work 100% effort and not surprisingly, gets excellent results!

I have worked with Jonathan & his team for almost 10 years through out my visa (H1B, O1), greencard and naturalization. I can't say enough good things about them. His professionalism, expertise, generosity and genuine care made a huge difference in this long and often times very stressful process.
Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable, providing clear and concise guidance through every stage of my case. What truly sets Jonathan's team apart is their commitment to their clients. They were always responsive, quick to answer my questions and never hesitates to go above and beyond to ensure everything was handled meticulously. I felt supported throughout the entire process and my case was handled smoothly and efficiently. I truly cannot recommend him enough.

We worked with Jonathan Grode on an immigration issue. He provided clear explanations on complicated issues and thoroughly answered our questions. Jonathan and his team displayed an equal measure of heart and intellect on our case. Most importantly, he solved our issue and solved it quickly, something that isn't easy in immigration cases. He got us the result we hoped for but weren't sure was possible. Highly recommend.

Dear sir Christopher M. Casazza
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your outstanding legal representation in my parent’s immigration case. Your expertise, dedication, and unwavering support throughout the entire process were instrumental in ensuring a successful outcome.
Your knowledge and guidance were invaluable. You were always patient, understanding, and available to answer our questions, easing our anxieties and providing reassurance. Your ability to communicate effectively with me was truly impressive. I have experienced that you put your clients first. Nice thing is you happily provide your cell phone to your clients. You were readily available to answer any questions I had regarding immigration.
Thanks to your hard work and commitment, my parents were able to live with me now. Your efforts have had a profound impact on our lives, and we are eternally grateful for your assistance.
I know more than 5 or 6 people who have received your service. You have made their cases successful. Now they are very happy and satisfied with your service. I was already confident and believed in your professionalism. I am also very happy and 100% satisfied with your service.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in need of legal representation for immigration matters. Thank you again for everything you have done.

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:

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.
