*********************
Immigration can be a very stressful time even
under the best of circumstances. Joel was with us every step of the way and guided us
through each stage of the process with professionalism and sincere care. We interviewed a
handful of lawyers and after speaking with Joel for 2 minutes, we knew he was the one. He
was always available to answer our questions and calm our concerns. Not only is he a great
lawyer and resource...but he's also a good man. My husband and I would recommend him to
anyone in need of assistance with their immigration needs. Trust us...he is the one for
you! (Joel, if you ever read this...Thank you for all that you did for us...we will never
forget you.)

If you are looking for a
professional, well organized and competent lawyer, then look no further. When my
immigration procedures became more complicated, I searched through listings for
immigration lawyers in San Diego and reached out to Joel for advice and counsel. Many
lawyers will not give you the time of day before you agree to have them represent you, but
Joel showed a genuine interest in my case, and me as a person, even before I had made my
decision to work with him. Due to his thorough preparation and persistency to motivate me,
I am now an unconditional Permanent Resident of the United States. To this day, Joel still
touches base with me, and when I apply for citizenship in a few years time, he will be the
first person I call. Thanks for everything Joel!"

"My wife and I went to Joel Friedman to help correct
the issues she had regarding a visa overstay. During the entire process Joel was very
friendly, accessible, and continued to probe us for more questions that he would be able
to give us the answer for. Whenever I had a question or concern, Joel was there to address
it immediately. I never felt "in the dark" about the entire process and his
informative tips on the way to handle various situations made our case go VERY smoothly. I
recommend Joel 100% to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. From the reasonable fees
to the friendly demeanor he portrays, to the vast amount of knowledge he was able to give
us that helped us along ... everything that Joel provides is TOP NOTCH. I look forward to
using Joel again when it comes time to get my wife's Citizenship. :)"

"We needed a good immigration attorney to obtain the K1 (Fiance Visa). We
can't say enough good things about Joel Friedman as an expert in Immigration law and a
great person. We came to him at a very emotional and stressful time after calling multiple
attorneys and leaving messages and not receiving any calls back. Joel called us faster
than we expected. He was very professional and very knowledgeable in his field. He did
everything possible to help us guiding us with all the paper work that we required for the
K1 visa coming from Brazil. We were all the time able to get in touch with him. We would
highly recommend Joel to anyone who is looking for a good immigration lawyer.

"Thorough,
Reliable Lawyer - and Friendly Too!"
"The process of getting my Spanish wife her green card was made easy and even
pleasant thanks to Joel. He took what seemed a daunting task and made it not only doable
but as stress-free as possible for us. And this is due to his professional demeanor
described by some of the other adjectives by other posts like flawless, fast, friendly,
trustworthy and to which I'll add thorough. There was never any doubt that he had our best
intentions in mind--so much it seemed at times he was more invested in our case than we
were! I whole-heartedly recommend Joel to anyone needing an immigration lawyer and will
not hesitate to use his services in the future if needed."

"Excellent
Lawyer!"
"Joel has been our family's immigration lawyer for many years. Joel is professional, very friendly, and completely
trustworthy. He first represented my husband
and me for my green card. I had a problem that
I needed help with. Joel expertly resolved the
problem and because of him I was granted my green card.
Several years later Joel helped me to get my U.S. citizenship. After I became a U.S. citizen he got my mother her
green card. We all live in San Diego because
of Joel and his great work on our cases.
I am very
happy that I found Joel! I highly recommend
his services to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer."

My name is
Patrycja and I married my husband over 2 years ago. When we realized how much paper work
it is to apply for green card, we knew that we had to hire a lawyer. I already found
future employer, who told me he will wait for me, as long as I will receive my green card
in no later than in three months. With Joel’s extraordinary professional help we
applied in no time. He always had as much time as we needed and he even went with us for
our interview. We received my green card in three months, but what was more important I
received permission for travel and work even before that.
Now I am happy to work in Drug Discovery field for over 2 years. Before my
two year long card expired, we needed to apply for new one …. and guess what? We came
back to work with Joel again. I think this shows the most how good he is. I already
received my second card without second interview or any problems. I always tell about Joel to my friends. He has my
highest commendations. Hiring him actually saved me money; because I could start working
faster than if I tried to go thru all the paper work myself.

citizenship. A few months later and my Oath Ceremony had been scheduled. In summary: Need

Joel handled my parents'
application for permanent residency status in the US. He guided us effectively through the
application preparation, application submission, and interviews. It was a pleasure to work
with Joel and we gained much from his experience and knowledge. Our application was
successful.

"We are very happy with the way Joel handled
our case and navigated us through the legal maze of the U. S. immigration system. Dealing
with the government and in particular immigration, involves tons of paperwork, intimate
knowledge of deadlines, and expert knowledge of how the process works. In this regard, we
were extremely blessed in having Joel Friedman, Esq. by our side to assure us that we
weren't delayed or turned down because of overlooking any detail.
We were charged a very fair set-fee, that never escalated. Joel was always available
same day for any questions that we had and promptly returned emails. In fact, we'll use
Joel for all our immigration needs and highly recommend his expertise."

"Dear Mr. Friedman -
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you
for helping to secure the K-1 visa and the Green Card for Diana. You were with us
all the way with your kindness, friendship, and of course, your help. Your diligence
and knowledge of the entire process were most instrumental in making things go
smoothly...and you even helped after the paperwork was at the Consulate with your
continued suggestions and assistance as how the interview would be conducted and items
Diana needed to bring along with her. You were always available to share your
opinions and experience when we were worried or confused or just wanted to ask a question.
The packages you put together for us (I-130,
I-129F,I-134….) were well organized, impressive and easy to read. We believe that is
one of the big reasons Diana was approved for her K-1 visa and she got her green card so
easy! We will recommend you to anyone going through this process. Once again, thank you so very much for all
you’ve done in helping our dreams come true."

We found Joel to be friendly, thorough, and effective. He got quick approval of an
application to extend the length of a Thai family member's Tourist Visa. He discussed our
situation at length with us and carefully explained our options. We agreed with his
recommendation to apply for an extension. He then clearly outlined the information and
documents he needed from us, and prepared and submitted the application. We felt he spent
extra time with us to get to know each of us as more than just clients. It has been a
pleasure for us to get to know Joel. I highly recommend him.

"Attorney Joel Friedman did a great job with our case. I came to the U.S. by
Fiancee visa, and six month later I got my green card. I've heard from many people, who
were complaining of red tape routine with resident status processes that makes them wait
more than two-three years or more. In our case, all procedures were conducted on time and
successfully. Despite of the fact that I am from Kazakhstan, a country of which USCIS
officer has never heard, the interview was light, stress-less and quick. All this
indicates lawyer's excellent organization, knowledge, experience, loyalty, flexibility and
high professionalism. I agree with other people's reviews saying Joel is on top of
everything. He is very well-informed and controls a situation. In addition, his attitude
to his clients is very attentive, friendly and ready-to-help. He familiarizes us with all
necessary information very lucid and exhaustive, so that we are always well-informed. Our
success is a result of his great job. Recommendable!"
