Blaine LM Balow is a strong knowledgeable attorney who has represented me several times successfully. Many times I have gotten more than I wanted with him because he took assertiveness when it was needed. He is also compassionate and caring. He takes into consideration what my family needs and assures that we are taken care of legally. I highly recommend Blaine for all your legal matters.

Years ago, they took all of Cuppy franchise against Dale Nabors who embezzeled. First of all everyone had seen him at a preschool but the lawyers said you cannot serve papers on pre-school frounds which is total bs. Another person saw him by his house and they never followed up on it. Asked all of us for more money since they had to obtain more information. We did all the work that they never followed up.
I would not recommend using this practice since they seem to want to obtain more money.

My mom was found to be inadmissible under section 212(A)(9)(C)(i) during her immigration visa interview at the American consulate in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This came as a complete shock to our family, which desperately needed her assistance in the United Stated, and to her, who dearly missed her son, daughter, and grandchildren. We had worked very hard and waited 10 years for that interview. The denial left us in a state of complete confusion and sadness.
At the time, the consulate did tell us that we could submit form I-212 for her case, However, as we started researching this possibility and talking with different lawyers, it became clear that this was a very complex process. The internet and the lawyers themselves had very contradicting information. No one seemed to know an exact procedure and strategy for accomplishing the goal.
Fortunately, we ran upon Dyan. From the beginning, she distinguished herself from the other lawyers. For one, she clearly had far more knowledge and experience with this type of complex case than anyone else we had talked with. More importantly, she really took the time to understand every detail of the case, and to clearly explain to us, in common English, what had happened, why, and what could be done about it. She showed a sincere interest to understand and to help.
After some conversations with Dyan, we hired her. That was the best decision we could possibly have made. Her attention to detail and her honest interest in helping my mom continuously impressed us. Contrary to most lawyers, she would not limit how much time she spent with us. We had many very long meetings where she carefully analyzed the situation, answered our questions, discussed the possibilities, and helped us agree on a strategy.
In summary, Dyan exceeded all of our expectations by a long shot. She went far above and beyond through the entire process. In the end, our I-212 petition was approved and my mom received her immigration visa. We could not have done it without Dyan's help and we are infinitely grateful to her.

I am very happy to recommend Dyan Williams Law for any immigration needs. Dyan assisted me with a very complex situation I was facing pertaining to my wife's situation. We had recently got married and my wife while traveling to US for a temporary visit was detained by CBP at the port of entry and was issued an expedited removal with a lifetime inadmissibility ban from entering the USA. I found Dyan through the internet and arranged a consultation with her first over Skype from India.
I was impressed with her approach she was detail oriented and appeared to be the first attorney out of the few I had already spoken to who was compassionate, very thorough, not greedy and having a good fund of knowledge and understanding of the law.
We hired Dyan’s services. She was able to clearly describe us in a very stressful situation which we were dealing with on what needs to be done and advised us on filing a Motion with CBP to vacate the charges. She asked us all relevant information, read my wife's sworn statement over and over, asked several questions and helped us with what it would take to build a strong case for a motion. Dyan worked on a very short notice and deadline to successfully submit our motion in time to the CBP. She was readily available to answer all the questions we had in time and prepared a very thorough and detailed brief and guided us with the submission of each and every relevant documents and proofs pertaining to our case. I was impressed by the clarity and thoroughness of the legal brief she prepared as well as her arguments.
She diligently followed up with the CBP on the status of our case after the submission and due to her excellent preparation of the motion and proofs she advised us to submit we were able to obtain a favorable decision in our case. The CBP vacated the expedited removal order and the misrepresentation charge on my wife within 14 days of filing the motion.
This was a huge relief to my wife as then we would have required to go through a very lengthy and uncertain waiver process. She is now assisting us with our I-130 petition and immigrant visa process. Throughout this difficult time not only she was a great lawyer and advocate for us but went out of the way to even understand our weak financial situation and provided us some relief in her legal fees and with payment arrangements. She is an honest, hardworking, extremely thorough and detail oriented lawyer who is an expert in the field of immigration and all complicated scenarios surrounding it.
Dyan not only supported us in providing timely relief and help. She was sympathetic and compassionate and took time out of her busy schedule to answer every question we asked and counseled us on what is best for us in this situation without being selfish. This is rare and unheard of.
Me and my wife will recommend Dyan’s services without any hesitation. She is a brilliant attorney who is very professional, and is expert at immigration law, who cares for her clients and is very knowledgeable. Thanks a lot Dyan! I cannot express my gratitude and respect for you enough with just my words. My wife and I are very thankful for your effort and hard work. We can dream of being together and starting our family soon in USA because of Dyan's effort. There is no doubt in our minds that we made the best decision for ourselves by hiring Dyan for our complicated situation. Thanks again and I look forward to continue seeking your guidance for our I-130 process and immigrant visa process

Dyan was wonderful! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. My case was quite complicated and she presented my options in a very clear manner so I could make my own decision of what would be the best course of action for me.

My parents became naturalized after my 18th birthday so I had to apply for naturalization myself. I had a unique case with my naturalization. It was a mess and I did not know where to even begin. I contacted Dyan and I am so glad I did. I felt respected by Dyan and she made the whole naturalization process seem like an ease. She told me exactly what I had to do, what documentation I had to gather, and what I could expect. Dyan kept in contact with me the whole way and in the end, my naturalization case was approved. If you have a complicated case and unsure of what to do, do yourself a favor and call Dyan. It will make your life a lot easier.

I am well pleased to recommend Dyan Williams Law for immigration representation. Dyan first assisted me with my I-601 filing and representation with the immigration court. She precisely advised me on the evidentiary documentation I needed to provide the court, submitted my petition, coached me on how to respond to questions during the I-601 hearing, and provided me with quality post hearing consul. Dyan was very effective in providing the immigration court provisions from immigration law as justification for approving my case. It is because of Dyan's attention to the details of my case and her strong expertise that my case was approved by the immigration court, and much quicker than the typical I-601 processing time. The approval of my I-601 waiver was a tremendous relief for my family, and I am truly grateful for Dyan's thought leadership on the case.
Due to the complex nature of my immigration file, I was denied U.S. citizenship twice, and once again I hired Dyan's services. She was able to coach me on what it would take to build a strong case for a N-336 petition requesting reversal of the denial decision in my U.S. citizenship (N-400) application. Dyan submitted my N-336 to the court, prepared me for the hearing which she attended with me, and diligently followed up with the court on the status of my case after the hearing. My N-336 petition was approved, and the previous denial decision of my U.S. citizenship application was reversed. The court finally did approve my U.S. citizenship. So I won twice with Dyan, and I most definitely would recommend Dyan's services without hesitation. She is an honest attorney who is very professional, and most of all is highly knowledgeable. Thank you so much Dyan! Words are not enough to convey my gratitude, and the relief Dyan's work has afforded my family!

I hired Mr. Balow to represent me for my divorce on a recommendation and I am so glad I did. Blaine is great, especially for those of us who are law-naive. He was very open and honest and was always ready to provide suggestions, but never to force them. Blaine was always very professional but also understood that I was going through a difficult time. I would certainly recommend Blaine to family and friends and anyone who is in need of a family lawyer.
