My husband and I used Evan's services to submit my application for permanent residency. He was helpful, professional, and prompt. The entire process went smoothly and we will continue to use his services.

Mr. George is the best immigration lawyer ever! He took my case even though my home country is one of the most difficult countries to deal with in immigration law especially in nowadays political climate. He treated me like a family member, prepared me very well for the immigration interview and did a simulation like he is the officer asking me questions (it really helped me to boost my confidence). My case was not an easy one, even though it took so long to win the case (4 years and 3 months), he kept responding to my emails and kept helping me with forms and legal papers. He was always there for me in every step reassuring me that we are going to win the case because we deserve it. His knowledge, experience, work ethics and compassion are phenomenal. I highly recommend Mr. Evan George for any immigration case!

I came to Evan George after having been denied citizenship on my first attempt. Of all the attorneys I interviewed, he immediately put me at ease and quickly convinced me that he would work efficiently and effectively on my behalf. Throughout the process, he offered steady, professional assistance as well as encouragement. I only wish I had hired him the first time I applied because I think his counsel would have made the difference and would have saved me a lot of anxiety and money. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing problems with their immigration case.

I don’t know what my husband and I would have done without the help & guidance we received from everyone at Evan’s office The immigration process is daunting & overwhelming but even more so in the current political climate. (Especially for Muslims from a Muslim majority country.) It seemed every time we turned around a new piece of paper was being requested, ones that had never been requested before, or ones not on the documents needed list. Evan & his staff made our immigration process as smooth & stress free as possible. Of course it took time (more time than I’d hoped), but I have no doubt our process was faster because we used an experienced law firm. .

We enjoyed a very professional and high quality service all along the way. Evan and his staff treat you like family and go the extra mile to make sure you get a positive outcome.

Evan is the best and most caring lawyer my family has ever met. He makes sure to always be surrounded by a great team - all have been very efficient and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. More importantly, he and his team develop close and strong relationships with their clients, making it easy to entrust them with an issue so personal, as immigration is to many of us. For about seven years, different members of my family have worked with him, and he has been successful in each of our individual cases. He helped both my brother and my then-boyfriend become naturalized citizens and did so effortlessly. For my very complicated immigration journey, Evan successfully completed two petitions for Deferred Action - first in 2012 and later in 2014 -, as well as my petition for permanent residency. I am so thankful to finally be able to legally call the US my home, and it would not have been possible without his huge help. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help navigating the immigration system.

Evan is the best immigration lawyer in town -- He is professional, efficient, and very helpful. I hired him back in 2015 regarding the advisory opinion, waiver, and H1B visa application. Furthermore, he will help to answer your question(s) about immigration and assist you with the steps before preparing the documents needed for your application. In addition, Evan will always make time for you in between his busy schedule, making sure the client satisfaction.
