I have had a great experience working with Leon and his team. From our first consultation and many after that, he was always professional and knew exactly who he was talking to. He is very knowledgeable and made the whole process very understandable. I felt confident with having them work on our case. Magan, that works with Leon was a great asset to our case! This firm is highly recommended for all types of Immigration!

Mr Versfeld is the first lawyer to ever trust and he proved that he is trustworthy. From the start he had the knowledge and the confidence , took time and explain me the process and answered all of my questions, it has been a long journey for me and when I got the good news I cried... I am happy and grateful for everything , the whole team went above and beyond, also thanks to Marianna as well. If you need an immigration lawyer he is the best !

I can not recommend Leon and his team enough, they are consummate professionals. I went to him panicked about my future in the US as I received a 'Request for Further Evidence' and he successfuly helped me obtain my Green Card. Leon takes the time to tell you what the USCIS are asking for in plain english, and how he's going to achieve the desired result. His office staff are amazing. Marianna was always at the end of a phone, or email, for any questions I had along the way. I can not thank them enough!

I had a rock star employee from Canada who was ready to put roots down and we wanted to keep long term. We initially determined a work Visa was in order. Contact was made with Leon Versfeld to help us navigate the bureaucracy and related red tape. Due to the hard work of Leon and his team, we were successful with the Visa. The current phase is the acquisition of a green card. Once again, Leon and others provided with the support necessary to make this a reality. It is without hesitation that I recommend Versfeld and Hugo due to the outstanding help and customer service they have provided to us.

I am delighted with meeting Mr. Versfeld and his wonderful staff and how they handled my legal work. Everything that Mr. Versfeld said that he and his staff would do,...well, he did. It appears to me that Mr. Versfeld is a very competent and efficient attorney who has a genuine interest in his clients. He alleviated all my concerns regarding my case. I highly endorse anyone who needs legal representation in Mr. Versfeld's legal specialties to consider retaining him.

Mr. Versfeld did a great job handling my case. When we spoke for the first time about my case I had no how to go about applying of r y green card. We had a 20min conversation about me and what I have done in life and next thing I knew we were building my case. We communicated on a weekly bases. He made a complicated process easy to understand. I constantly knew where I stood and where my application was. From start to finish my Greencard took 12months and I had my card in my hands. I would highly recommend him for any type of immigration issues you might have.

I'm forever greatful for Mr. Leon. Prior hiring Mr. Leon, I've hired another law firm Rekha Sharma Crawford to obtain my permanent residence card but it was denied. It was an awful experience . They are careless and unprofessional. Once my application denied I tried to set up a meeting however I was told I've to pay consultation fee again. Anyway after stressful and unsatisfactory experience I gave up. Year or two later my friend recommended me to consult with Mr. Leon and I'm glad I did. His team do an outstanding work, very professional and easy to work with. Mr. Leon is very knowledgeable and honest. They always kept me informed with every step of the process and most importantly I can call and get hold of him or his team anytime. The most importantly he helped me to obtain my green card. He is the best. If he can't help that means no one can! Thank you Mr. Leon and Mrs. Mariana.
