From the very first consultation, there was a clear and well-structured strategy in place. At every stage, there was consistent guidance, professional attention, and a strong commitment to the case.
The outcome was completely positive. I truly feel grateful for the support provided throughout the entire process, and I have full confidence in continuing to work with them for any future legal matters.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking professionalism, responsibility, and honesty.
He and his team, were an absolute lifesaver throughout the process. They were all always kind, patient, and responsive, making sure nothing was missed and that I never felt alone or confused. The attention to detail and constant support made an enormous difference during a very stressful time. I would and have recommended them.
Our E-2 status was approved successfully and faster than we expected, without any Request for Evidence. We are truly grateful for their hard work and dedication and highly recommend Herman Legal Group to anyone seeking reliable immigration legal services.
I would especially like to recognize the paralegal Linda, who was exceptionally detail-oriented, patient, and responsive. She is fluent in both Chinese and English, which made communication incredibly smooth and reassuring. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step, document, and requirement, always ensuring that I fully understood the process. Her careful guidance and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable.
I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of this team and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable support for family-based immigration matters.
Richard, our attorney, was also great — he provided clear guidance throughout the process and even accompanied us to our interview, where his support really made a difference.
Overall, we’re very grateful for the firm’s help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and caring immigration lawyers.
We've been treated with love and respect. We all know how stressful immigration can be, but rest assured, with HLG, you're in good hands.
The interview process is typically very fast-paced, leaving only a few minutes to explain your situation. I did my best to present my case to the visa officer, but it was clear she was having difficulty understanding the full context — though not due to any language barrier on my part.
Ultimately, I presented the cover letter prepared by Herman Legal Group, and it made the difference. The visa officer was persuaded.
In situations like this, it’s essential to have someone who thoroughly understands immigration law — rather than trying to explain complex legal matters yourself during a short interview.
We followed his advice regarding who to try and contact at our Senator's Office, and the issue took about 4 days to get resolved (USCIS admitted an error on their end) and after about 2 weeks the missing Greencard was produced and mailed, and we now have it.
I can definitely recommend their services!
Negussie Tsadkan
We have met many expats and heard many experiences, making us even more grateful to have worked with Herman Legal Group.
Our journey from L1A to green card went smoothly and without issue.
Great people and great work!
