Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value
My experience: failed the most basic legal tasks. Gave the impression of a form-filling shop with little to no legal strategy. Partner went ex extraordinarily out of his way to ignore all questions about their wrongdoing. Mediocre lawyers at a mediocre firm.

My employer (a speciality chemicals company) uses the services of Garfinkel immigration law firm. Attorney William Hummel assisted by Alena Casares prepared my O1 petition.
First, I want to say that this a dependable law firm with a staff that takes your immigration matter seriously and pays the attention it needs. The attorneys are passionate about their work and everyone is hard working to deliver the results on time. Their case preparation moves at very fast pace with no mistakes in the petition/documents/forms. The attorneys can be available for a phone call after just 1 day notice. I never

Catherine Magennis is AMAZING!! She helped me with my (i751 -Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence). I met her 2 weeks before my interview but she carefully reviewed my case and fully prepared me for the interview. I could tell that she's an excellent attorney from the moment I met her that made me very comfortable and confident to sign her up right away. My case status changed to "My new card is being produced " just few hours after the interview, and APPROVED the next day. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone who has immigration issue or concern.

I engaged the team at Garfinkel for my wife's green card process. Catherine Magennis served as our lead attorney supported by paralegal Sherry Fuertes. I am happy to report that last week (roughly 6 months), my wife became an official green card holder. I recommend Garfinkel for their communication, flexibility, and professionalism.
The process requires extensive documentation and both Sherry and Catherine were perfectly organized. They setup secure portals for us to upload and manage our information. They were available within a day's notice for clarifying calls and meetings. These became critical

Garfinkel's team made it possible. The efficiency and professionalism of everyone involved was extremely high all along the last 4 years. It paid off with the best of results. My family and I are very grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with the Garfinkel Firm and would recommend (already did) to anyone looking for professional advice and support leading to concrete results. Thank you again very much!
