Verified ClientHired Law firm 2023-2025I am beyond grateful to David Ware Immigration for their exceptional support in my successful green card application. A special thank you to Erin Hebert (Senior Associate) and her incredible paralegal, Phoebe Sanderson, for guiding me through every step of this process with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Their unwavering dedication made this complex journey so much smoother, and I truly cannot thank them enough! My case officially began when USCIS received my application in March 2023. Shortly after, I had my biometrics appointment scheduled that same month. Thanks to my legal team’s efficiency, my Employment Authorization Document (EAD) was approved by October 2023, which was impressively quick! Around September 2023, I received a Request for Evidence (RFE) regarding my medical evaluation, and Erin and her team ensured I submitted everything correctly and on time. One of the most nerve-wracking moments was my USCIS interview in January 2024 at Fort Smith, AR. Erin didn’t just help us prepare—she flew out to attend in person to provide support during this critical moment, which meant the world to me and my wife. Later in June 2024, I received another RFE, but once again, my legal team handled it seamlessly. Finally, after nearly two years of effort, my I-130 was approved in January 2025, followed by my I-485 approval in February 2025. The long-awaited moment arrived in March 2025, when I officially received my permanent resident (green) card in the mail, marking the successful completion of this journey! Throughout the entire process, Erin and Phoebe were incredibly responsive and attentive—whether through phone calls, emails, or scheduled meetings, they always kept me updated, reassured, and informed. Their attention to detail, routine check-ins, and thorough case management made this process as smooth as possible. Beyond just handling the paperwork, they truly went above and beyond—from preparing me for my USCIS interview to personally showing up and ensuring I had the strongest case possible. To David Ware Immigration and the entire team—I extend my deepest gratitude and a huge round of applause! 👏 Your professionalism, dedication, and personalized approach have changed my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm to anyone seeking immigration legal services. Choosing David Ware Immigration was one of the best decisions I made, and I will always be grateful for their expertise, commitment, and kindness. Thank you, Erin, Phoebe, and the entire team at David Ware Immigration! 🙌✨

Hired Law firm 2023-2024I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service provided by Ware Immigration. Charles Mosher (the attorney) and Wendy Dai (the paralegal) guided me through the process of filing my I-485, and I am excited to say that I have just received my green card. From the beginning, Charlie and Wendy were always available to answer my questions and guided me through each step with clarity and patience. They handled everything with efficiency and accuracy. I started the process in mid December 2023, collecting documents (which took a while on my end), and by February, Ware Immigration had filed my I-485. By the end of June, I received my green card. I couldn't be happier with the entire process. Charlie and Wendy demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their clients. Their commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful process was evident in every interaction. Thank you, Charlie and Wendy, for making this important milestone possible! I highly recommend Charlie and Wendy at Ware Immigration to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
