To whom might read my post well I would like to say that me and my family were so happy from the professionalism we experienced with Atty. William he handled my case with such professionalism and honesty. I have never met William in person for I live and work in Saudi Arabia the other part of the world but the distance was not an issue to William for he made sure that the process is so smooth and this exactly what happened and I thank him for this.
Yesterday my kids received their US citizenship and I was told that William was always following up and contacting them in order to have a happy outcome - I really appreciate it William.
Thank you William and Elan for everything and be sure that you will be highly recommended by me to all who I know and I am saying this because I experienced your hard and professional work.
My kids and family send their regards and we wish you all the success for you deserve it and by the way you should be more then 5 stars ratings because to me you deserve more.
Regards,
Anoir Adra

GREAT!!!!
Let me start out by telling you William and Patricia are sincere people. Like old school educated and to the point. They will tell you everything step by step with Honesty. My wife needed a waiver and we were denied in the past and after William reviewed our case he had the Waiver Approved. Happy Tears!:) Next we applied for my wifes Green Card and Permanent Residence and William and Patricia worked hard, pushed us to do our end of Documents needed, and APPROVED!!! My wife now has her Permanent Residence Green Card. You have no idea the relief. We went to Canada shortly after, my wife got her 10 Year Passport, and reentered the US with a Red Carpet treatment. Now we can move on without the stress of not knowing if they will take my soul mate away from me. DON'T GO TO A PARALEGAL!!! Warning, we went to one, my wife was denied of her waiver, Deportation process was started, we spent many trips on our own to Miami Immigration office, Paralegals can't represent you by the way, and we wasted so much money on sending in different forms and documents costing us way to much money. GO TO WILLIAM GERNSTEIN AND PATRICIA COOPER!!! Don't waste you money anywhere else. You get what you pay for and William and Patricia will get the Job done right. Also to let you know, Your Lawyer goes with you to Immigration hearings as did William went with us to ours!!!
Thank you William, and Thank You Patricia. You were a God Send> Steve & Lisa
Peace, Love and Happiness!!!

This firm has amazing attorneys with superb professionalism and an undoubted respect for clients. Patricia Cooper helped my husband and I through a very difficult case, in which he had taken voluntary departure, was in removal proceedings and the case needed approval to be reopened. We had been working with a different immigration attorney for 2 years and the lack of communication and progress made us uneasy. At this point, we decided to look for other options for representation. We were referred to the Gerstein and Baret office by a colleague, where we met Patricia. She has led us through every step of this process and educated us along the way. She always responded quickly and efficiently. Without her help, we would not have been able to do this with just any immigration lawyer let alone ourselves. With her help, we were able to keep our family together during this trying time and can now rest easy. My husband and I will definitely be coming back to Patricia Cooper in three years when we can file for citizenship. I highly recommend her and associates.

I was living in the US awaiting a court date on my green card case, (when I entered the US they took it from me as I had not returned in over two years). When I got a good job I knew I would have to give them my status and the deadline for my temporary status was about to finish. I needed a court date to get back my card.
I searched google, picked the first lawyer that caught my eye and called. Atty Elan Baret answered the phone. His level of professionalism was exactly what I was looking for. I made an appointment and went into the office.
There I also met Atty William Gerstein, who ascertained that a court case had already occurred and I had been deemed deported. My life flew into chaos. Atty Baret however spoke firmly with me to get me to look at my situation from a different perspective. I am grateful to him for that because it made me listen to reason.
Between Atty Gerstein, Atty Baret and Atty Cooper, I was well schooled on the process it would take to take to get my green card back. Patricia Cooper was assigned to my case but there was always the impending presence of Atty Baret and Gerstein behind her. What is also striking about the firm was their ability to humanise my situation and make me feel as if I was never alone. This team work is an uncommon quality and to watch them strive for that level service on my little case, gained my utter trust and respect.
We recently won our case and my green card will be returned to me. I am proud to have them as my attorneys. I hope they remain appreciative of each other and fearless to their task.

I have been working with William Gerstein to get my E-1 Visa for me and for my family. William acted as a real professional and always responded quickly.
William also helped us get a visa for our housekeeper whom we brought with us from Thailand.
I will also add that the file that we submitted to the Embassy was very "well organized" as mentioned by the consular personnel.

I do have the pleasure of completing my adjustment status using this firm and I am very pleased with the results. I met Mr Gerstein via the internet and to this day I am yet to meet him in person. I have no idea what he looks like (except for his picture on the internet) and he does not know what I look like (except for my drivers license & passport photos). I live in another state and he was able to skillfully complete my paperwork without any problem; I did encounter a few minor glitches but they were no major concern to this knowledgeable man, he knew exactly what was needed and what was to be done and it was done.
Mr Gerstein is very supportive, detailed, thorough, his fees are fair and the payment options are awesome. He is also an excellent communicator and is always there to encourage you even when you are doubting yourself; he prepares you properly and leaves no stones unturned for your interview and even afterwards he consults with you. I do thank him for his detailed work and one cannot find a better immigration attorney to advocate on their behalf. Please remember, he can work with you wherever you are located. I will continue to recommend him and this firm to as many as I can that needs this service. Thanks again.

My Husband I have been together for 2 years and decided to get married. We have beautiful daughter also together.
After our wedding we consulted Mr. William Gerstien, for the filing of I-130 and I-485 of my husbands adjustment of status. He has given as appointment on the same day itself.
When we met him, he was so courteous and guided us in a very efficient way. He made us feel so comfortable.He provided us with a list of documents which we need to come up with. His fee was very reasonable and fair. He given us the discount also in his fee. The fee paying options were so convenient in affordable installments.
After two days, we met him again in his office. My husband and I came up with lot of additional and unnecessary documents.
He carefully filled our application and included only the documents that are required. He was like a skilled craftsman while carefully doing documentation. He is the attorney who knows exactly what he is doing. He is a very knowledgeable and smart attorney.
My husband has arrest record which we were very much concerned off.
He assured us that everything will be fine and requested us to collect and keep right documents for interview.
In every stage of processing of our application, Mr. Gerstien was there being so supportive and cooperative in answering our questions.My husband used to ask lot of questions lol. Mr. Gerstien was persistent and consistent in providing customer support.He was so up to date in passing all the documents which he has received from USCIS.
Today my husband's conditional GC got approved. We are so happy with all the family together.Our whole family is so thankful to Mr. Gerstien and his law firm.
We just believed in him and he has done that for us.Great work sir.
We have already requested him to represent us for our conditions removing application.He has graciously accepted it and asked us to consult him at the right time.
I really would like to strongly recommend Mr. Gerstien. Trust me, he is the best. I give him 10 out of 10.He has mastered in immigration law.He is very much customer oriented person. He makes you feel comfortable the time you enter into his office.
He believes in providing effective guidance to his clients so that they get immigration benefits eventually. He is highly capable of handling any complex immigration cases.
You want peace of mind and immigration benefits, please call Mr. Gerstien immediately.

My name is Jorge M and I Found William Gerstein and Baret Attorneys on Internet. I needed their services to adjust my immigration status to a permanent resident in the United States. William Gerstein is a great professional with the accurate knowledge for each case. He handled my case from the beginning to the end. Every time that I had questions during the whole process he was there answering in a short period of time. I recommended his services to a friend who is very happy with the way that he is handling his case now. My final recommendation: Don't ever try to do by yourself immigrations procedures, leave it in hands of professionals who really know our necessities, you won't regreat. I am sure that for the next step, he will be my lawyer again. Thank you so much for your help.
