Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2026

David Wilson and his team capably managed my employer-sponsored H-1B visa application. His recognition in immigration law and Super Lawyer status were evident in the thoroughness of the paperwork. The process was ultimately successful. However, communication sometimes lagged, with responses taking several business days, which was stressful during time-sensitive phases. While the legal expertise was solid, managing client expectations on timelines could be improved. For straightforward immigration matters, his firm provides reliable service, but be prepared to follow up proactively if you need frequent updates.
