This law firm never gave up on my case even tho it was a very difficult one. I finally got my permanent residence. They were supportive helpful kept me informed about my case every step of the way. I recommend this firm to anyone struggling with immigration, deportation. Friendly staff. Very professinal. I love you all, thank you for all your hard work.
I highly recommend Paul Suhr because he has a lot of experience, knowledge, dedication, devotion to help immigrants and works very hard on each and every case. The staff is very efficient and fast to help and to keep you informed about the status of your case. Paul Suhr is well known and respected among the immigration authorities. Therefore, it is an advantage to speed up the process of any case. Thanks to Paul Suhr my brother was not deported and got his citizenship. That was how I knew this amazing Lawyer and I immediately hired him to help me in my very difficult situation. He never gave me false hope and yet gave me a lot of confidence. His quotes are low compared to other lawyers and to my opinion are very low to the great and amazing job that he and his staff do. Paul Suhr was present every single time I needed him and he was one step ahead during the process of my case. He was also with me when I took the test for my citizenship. Through all this time I was able to see that this he is also an honest caring Lawyer. Thanks Paul Suhr for helping me with such interest and efficiency.
My wife and I recently hired Paul Suhr for our car as my wife is from South America. He came highly recommended from a friend. We were very surprised at how easy the process was from our end. The friendly staff kept us well informed of what was going on with our case.
I got my green card with this lawyer. The attorney Suhr is very knowledgeable of immigration laws and was able to get me out of trouble. Highly recommended.
I wish I had checked his reviews before making an appointment. I had a very simple question regarding what form to use and who should file the petition to get my son to immigrate and although Mr Suhr did give me the right form to fill out, the rest of his info was the opposite of what the Instructions were stating. Our meeting lasted less than 10 minutes as my question was so simple. The following day I called to point out the difference between his info and the instructions and was told that since I didn't sign an agreement, they would not help in any way clarify the matter. I wouldn't mind their poor customer service if they at least had given me the right info. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!
