I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to.

My husband and I are going through the US immigration process through consular processing in Canada. We hit an unexpected hitch in our process, and we were panicked and seeking out attorneys who could advise us what was happening with my husband's case. This firm took my emotional call and talked me through where we were in our process, what the likely outcome and timeline was based on their past cases supported, etc. and talked through all the details of our case. We talked for a good 15-20 minutes and they didn't charge me a dime. I felt so re-assured by the end of the conversation that our case will resolve soon. We haven't gotten the visa issued just yet, but we're remaining hopeful and will be contacting this company again as soon as anything goes astray. I really appreciated their care for a potential client, considering how emotional and scary the process can be. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to. Thank you again for taking my call, and explaining so much of the process to us. It's clear you take care of your clients, and this review felt like the least I could do as a thank you. We'll be in touch if we end up needing your services!

Frequently Asked Questions

Select a category below to find answers to your FAQs!

If I have a child who is a U.S. citizen, can I obtain legal status in the U.S.?

You can do so under two circumstances: 1). If your child is over the age of 21 with the ability to support you, your child can file a residency petition for you, if you came into the U.S. with a visa. If you did not enter the U.S. with a visa, you may be eligible for a waiver (or pardon) that may allow you to adjust to legal status, or you may also adjust status if you are 245(i) eligible (see explanation below of who is 245(i) eligible); or 2). If you have been in the U.S. for 10 years and you can demonstrate that your child of any age will suffer an extreme hardship if you are removed to your native country, you may file for cancellation of removal or deportation.

Does a person have to speak to the police after they have been arrested?

No, the US constitution, as well as the Federal and State laws, do not require an individual who has been arrested to speak to the authorities, with the exception of providing basic information about one’s identity. The decision of whether or not to speak to the police is a very important one and it should be evaluated with your attorney as soon as possible.


See All Criminal Defense FAQs

When is it worth to litigate/fight your personal injury case in court?

A case is usually taken to court, when a settlement offer does not adequately compensate for the suffering you have endured due to the accident or incident or when the other party is not willing to accept its liability/responsibility. Our Boston personal injury lawyers will review the circumstances surrounding your case to recommend the best alternative for the most successful result. After all, our compensation is directly tied to your success and our business depends on our satisfied clients referring us new clients.
