Matthew is the best lawyer you could ever work with regarding your immigration issues! I’ve hired him and everything went smooth till I obtain the green card! He’s honest,truthful , what I like the most is he answers calls , emails or return them ASAP! I would definitely recommend him, so you can have a peace of mind with that stressful process! Thanks Matthew and may God bless you!!

Matthew is the best immigration lawyer. My case was complicated. I did not remove my conditional green card and remarried. Matthew always responses promptly and answers all my questions. He filed the lawsuit to the immigration to get attention and decision. Finally, I got my 10 years green card in my hand. Very recommended.

It has now been over two years that I retained Matt for my son and my AoS. It has been a long arduous and time consuming process. Through it all - Matt has been professional, always responsive and very diligent in making sure we had the best advocate for us. From paperwork to advise to really really basic and simple questions - nothing was left unanswered or unattended. Thank you Matt and God Bless.

I had a pretty complicated case that required plenty of talking through. Matt was really accessible, honest and sincere, did his research, and pulled together documentation that made things much simpler during the immigration interview. I would recommend Matt to anyone who needs help with an immigration filing/issue.

I consulted Matt on an immigration-related issue, but I did not know that this was the beginning of a new life. Not only did he provide great information and suggestions, he inspired me to explore different options related to employment. Because of our interaction, I was able to secure a position in my field, and I am very grateful to Matt. He did not treat me as a client, but as a fellow human being with a great potential. I felt respected and listened to, and it is important when you are trying to have a better life for yourself and your family. I would recommend Matt to anyone facing immigration challenges!

Mr. Hartnett helped us process my wife's residency application, and it proved to be the best decision we made. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive. He clearly outlined every step of the process, what actions we needed to take, and consistently managed expectations. His counsel made a stressful process, go smoothly. We think very highly of him and strongly recommend him to anyone -- specially if you need an attorney that speaks Spanish.
