I am extremely pleased that I worked with Root Law Group to get an US Investor visa. They lead my family through every step of the case and we swiftly got the results we were trying to achieve by ourselves for a long time. The firm is professional and informative, they explained all the details thoroughly and did not leave us in the dark even for a moment.

I highly recommend working with the team of highly skilled lawyers, you won’t regret it!

Special thanks to Daniel Pina, William Menard, Igor Letitchevski & Mark Shihady.

Our case was approved, and we successfully received our green cards. We are very thankful for their support and highly recommend Root Law Group to anyone pursuing an EB-2 NIW or other immigration services.

Terrie Lawson

When my son-in-law was abruptly detained during an immigration interview, we were extremely distraught, but Root Law Group and Mark Shihadi stepped in immediately to help us out filing all the required paperwork to respond and we’re able to get him out on bond within just a few days. We are so grateful and I would highly recommend Root Law Group and especially, Mark, to anyone facing deportation. We just can’t thank you enough!!!

Irina Busurina

Attoney Mark specializes on EB-1 case for musicians, scientists and doctors, working with international professionals. He has a great sense of the final goal from USCIS perspective and focus that needs to build a solid case and is very generous with his time.

Oxana, who I met in FB group kindly arranged my free consultation with Mark regarding my green card case. Even though the office is closed for lunch and I could not connect to the front desk Miki until 15 min before my appointment (they have external company handling lunch hour), the consultation with strategic and analytical attoney Mark was excellent and gave me new side angles of my case.

A lot to think about! Parking is tricky in this area. Try Amazon/CVS/Chase bank parking.

Very thankful for Oxana for arranging it. Hope your office thrives ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am a racer from Taiwan and needed to transfer my F1 student visa into an O1 visa for my job as a racer and test rider, I was refered to all kinds of Taiwanese immigration lawyers and they all pull back to a P1 visa and gave no faith in my O1 case, but luckily Root law group has full faith in me as I surrendered my faith to God in hope of this to go through in time to not overstay and exhaust my F1 that I no longer want to pay tuition for. With the help of Daniel and William, my case was put together proffesionally and right on time, and I am super grateful for their help above and beyond. They are the ones to depend on to help with your case and it has saved my career majorly 🙏 thank you Root Law Group
