My wife and I are delighted by this news concerning her precarious deportation immigration proceedings . This is the outcome that we have been waiting impatiently for. We deeply appreciate the diligence, expertise and professionalism that you displayed through out the entire process. No word can explain how greatful we are for your service.

Mr. Calehr is the best immigration lawyer in town. After being told "No" endlessly by other lawyers, I came accross Mr.Calehr who is so knowledgeable in the field that he was able to not only say "Yes", but fix my case in a matter of a few months! He treated my case with close attention, and thanks to his commitment I have been approved for residency. I really could not have done it without his help. He is very responsive and I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend Mr. Calehr to anyone looking for an attorney. I had a very complicated immigration case (came here on a K1 visa, divorced my abusive partner after partner stole my green card), pretty much worst case scenarios through and through, and against all odds, following all the advice from my lawyer I was able to get my permanent residency approved, the case was so well prepared there was no need for an interview. He also handled my divorce, and I thought it was going to be a very nasty process when in fact it was pretty painless. I am forever grateful to Mr. Calehr!!!!

Haroen has been helping my family for over 12 years now. My father’s case is complicated since he was deported in the past. He was able to help him with the work permit. Thanks to that my father can now get his social security benefits. He is always available and responds quickly to emails or text messages. Our family is so grateful for all he has done.

I'm very grateful and happy to have found him. It was a process that took a couple of years, but he was always attentive to my case, responding to my messages instantly. I have always had my emails or messages answered in a short time and with as much detail as possible. He's not only an expert, but very responsible, responsive, and patient. Moreover, he's not only a professional who really cares about his work but his human side is incredible! He's very kind, patient and I can tell he really has a passion for helping people. Some of my friends've worked with him and they succeeded in their cases too. I'm very thankful to him and to God that led me to work with him. I highly recommend him as the best immigration lawyer!

I highly recommend Mr. Calehr. A man with great knowledge and experience. He helped me with my case few years back and now he did the same for my wife, and the result is that she got her GC. It took a while because of Covid or else it would be done earlier. Thanks to Mr. Calehr. I will definitely recommend to everyone if you want your case to be successful. Thank you sir.

We hired Haroen after reading through reviews we saw online. We want to echo the positive reviews with our own experience. Haroen has been by our side from the beginning by providing answers whenever we had questions, whether in person, via email or text message. He was quick to respond and during meetings showed great patience in answering all the questions we had. He would advise of changes in policies to be mindful about. Great attorney, highly recommended.
