I highly recommend Mr. Eli Kantor and his Law Office. From the initial consultation to the final approval of my Green Card, Mr. Kantor exhibited thorough knowledge of the immigration law. He prepared the documents meticulously and offered sound, accurate advice on how to prepare for the immigration interview. His familiarity with the law invited trust, and his professionalism sustained that trust. His team was also organized and prompt in reply.

I am General Counsel of an entertainment company, and I was referred to Eli from one of the outside law firms I retain. The visa was for one of my overseas employees. Eli promptly answered all my questions, and would diligently follow up with the Immigration Department when there were inevitable delays. Eli was able to obtain a work visa for a really complex case. Eli is a professional and he really knows immigration law inside and out. I highly recommend Eli's services!

Eli Kantor was extremely helpful in guiding me through the procedure of obtaining a Visa for a work project in the United States. We were under a very tight deadline and he was able to expedite the process by providing to the US Citizenship and Immigration Board very detailed, clear and concise paperwork. He also offered me very good guidance and advice in my own preparation of material. He was quick to respond to all phone calls and emails, even on weekends, answered all my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. He was a pleasure to work with and I would give him the highest recommendation.
