Donald has solved my immigration problem for 8 years. During those years, 8 lawyers handled my case that was given a solution. I was already frustrated until I've met him. ... When he started working on my case, he did everything he could and eventually solved my immigration status after 3 months, and later after 2 months he helped me got my citizenship. His superb service, professionalism, and expertise are qualities of an excellent immigration lawyer. Specifically, he is very approachable and would talk to us any time of the day. He gives all the information we need, and makes sure that we understand everything we need to know. In addition to our professional relationship, we have established a good camaraderie. Anybody who would hire him would benefit from his great qualities. In general, Donald is the best lawyer we have, and we would maintain his service as long as we need him.
