“I could not have asked for a better result.”
Attorney Welcome made sure that my rights were protected and that I would get the best possible outcome for my case. I am so thankful that I went to him for help instead of trying to fight the court alone. He was understanding and honest throughout the entire court process and he kept me updated on how my case was going and what I should expect. He is not just experienced in court; he is extremely familiar with Connecticut courts and he knows what to expect from specific courts and judges. I could not have asked for a better result. Going to him for help was the best decision I’ve ever made.
“We wholeheartedly recommend James Welcome to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer.”
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with James Welcome for our immigration case, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to our case are truly exceptional. It's not every day that you come across a legal team that goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience, but that's exactly what we got.
“It was a pretty unsettling experience and you helped me a ton.”
Just wanted to take a second to thank you for helping me. It was a pretty unsettling experience and you helped me a ton. I know I have no real way to repay you but I wanted to tell you that I truly appreciate your help.
“I will definitely be recommending your services in the future.”
I just wanted to drop you a note to say a Huge thank you to you and your team, for all your assistance over the last 2 years. It has been a long road but I am finally at the end of it with green card in Hand.
