The first time i spoke with derek decosmo i was behind bars and already had my mind made up to throw away 20 years of living in the united states because i thought i had no chance of winning my immigration case because i was coming from prison with a pretty extensive record. Not only did he make me feel how confident he was in my case but he made me feel like i actually had a chance and proceeded to show me the evidence and actually explain everything to me so i understood exactly where we stood. I did hire him. And through the time we worked together derek was very hands on and very professional. He treated me with so much respect and also my family. After about 7 months of fighting we finally won in every aspect of my case. From crimal to immigration and i was released from custody. I cannot thank this man enough. Because he literally saved me from going back to a country i know very little about with bo connection to. He also took me serious when others have not due to my past. And to this day i keep contact with him he continues to push me to better myself now getting back to society. This man gave me hope through my process and gave me a second chance at life and brought me back to my family here in america. I would 100% recommend him to anyone dealing with these things. If you want results derek decosmo is who you need.

I hired Derek to assist me with the naturalization process which resulted in me being granted US Citizenship due to his extensive experience in immigration law and his willingness to put in the work to do the necessary legal research. He and his office staff always treated me with kindness and respect. I felt very well prepared. Most importantly, he did not create false expectations, but rather gave me a clear idea of the possible outcomes of my situation.

I consulted with Mr. DeCosmo about my immigration status. As soon as he gave me the green light that he could work on my case, his staff started working on my case immediately. They are professional, and have knowledge on what they are doing. Whenever I have questions, I immediately get a response with a thorough information so I can understand things better. Mr. DeCosmo is definitely worth your money. They get things done, and don’t play around. Trust me you will not regret his services. I would definitely recommend.

A mí estos abogados me han ayudado mucho y yo sigo recomendando gente porque en verdad ellos ayudan. Su personal es muy amable y atento. El cobro que tienen vale la pena.

Derek DeCosmo and Giancarlo Rolon are the most knowledgeable, professional and well-respected immigration and criminal trial lawyers I ever worked with. Got us work status when other lawyers we spoke to had like no idea. Great office staff. They know the answers, where others just tell you what you want to hear. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Although this firm specializes in immigration matters, I knew they handled criminal matters as well. I reached out and was able to get an appointment the same day I called. I sat with Derek, who reviewed my paperwork and discussed my options. He took the time to explain every detail of my case, answered all of my questions, and went over what his plan of action would be. As soon as I retained him, him and his office immediately began working on my case. Since this wasn't a simple municipal court matter, I felt worlds better having him at my side at my next court appearance in Superior Court. My case was resolved quickly and I am happy to have had Derek by my side every step of the way. Hire these guys!!!!!

yo pague $250 para una cita. el abogado llegó tarde. Cuando finalmente llegó, me hizo esperar 20 minutos más antes de verlo. Mi cita fue a las 2 de la tarde. No vi al abogado hasta las 3:20. Después de la consulta, estaba hablando con el traductor afuera y él me dijo que lamentaba tener que cobrarme una tarifa de consulta si dependía de él, sería gratis. Ese traductor debería ser el jefe.

Derek helped us navigate the immigration process for my (soon-to-be) husband. He was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His many years of experience made this a very smooth process. When we did have questions, he was accessible via email or phone, and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Derek represented me in a case and demonstrated a genuine understanding of the struggles I was going through. He is highly intelligent and caring. I was also very impressed with his legal knowledge and how he conducted himself in the courtroom. I can't thank him enough for what he did for me and my family. He was genuinely concerned about us during our hard time. I recommend Derek in the strongest of regards.

Derek DeCosmo About 15 months ago, immigration officers arrested one of our parishioners in his home in the early hours of the morning. His wife and four children were witnesses to this arrest and came to the parish for help. I referred them to Derek DeCosmo who had helped us on many prior occasions. Our parishioner had been taken immediately to the Detention Center in Newark, NJ. Derek went there to meet him. He negotiated his release from custody, got him an employment authorization document, and license. In time, Derek was able to take our parishioner to Pennsylvania to have a prior criminal case dismissed. Throughout this entire process, Derek was available to the family and to our church community as we worked and prayed together for a just resolution for this family. All of my experience with Derek has been very positive. He treats each person with respect and puts all his resources into serving them well.

My family came to America because I had a congenital heart defect that I was being treated for here. We ended up settling here after my treatment and in that time, our visa expired, which almost led to my father being deported. Derek has continuously helped him and even helped obtain permanent residency status for my mother and I a short while after. For him I am forever grateful to be able to stay in this country. Throughout this experience, Derek has been a firm supporter of our case and has done everything in his power to help. He is an outstanding and hard-working attorney!
