February 5, 2025 at 7:43 amI rarely write reviews, however, I wanted to take the time to say thank you to Stuart and his team. Stu is not only professional, but is one of the few lawyers in NYC who seem to genuinely care about each case he represents. He’s very good at articulating and breaking down the process in a way that I could understand easily. Stu was responsive throughout the process and has always promptly and patiently answered my MANY MANY MANY questions even when he was on vacation! Immigration can be a very stressful and nerve-racking process that you definitely do not want to go through by yourself, and Stu was able to always keep me well informed and helped me obtain my green card smoothly.

February 3, 2025 at 7:11 pmStuart is the best immigration lawyer that I know on the East Coast, if not the US. I directed the Starting-Up in America documentary in 2011 which talks about visa issues for immigrant entrepreneurs in tech, I have worked with more than a dozen immigration lawyers over the years. I have been working with Stuart exclusively since I moved to New York. Stuart is knowledgeable and proactive, few immigration lawyers operate at his level of proficiency, and this makes all the difference in immigration cases.

February 3, 2025 at 7:09 pmI interviewed many lawyers before I chose Stu as my immigration lawyer. Stu has extensive knowledge of immigration law and is very quick to respond to your questions. He made me felt at ease throughout the process. I would highly recommend Stu as an immigration lawyer.

February 3, 2025 at 7:08 pmIt’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to have had Stuart Reich as my immigration lawyer. After 18 years and several visa statuses, it felt incredible to finally stand in the US citizens/LPR customs line, and I owe it all to him. He has been an invaluable partner on this journey, providing not just legal expertise but genuine support. Before I met Stuart, my experiences with other immigration lawyers had been less than stellar—often condescending and rushed. But from day one, he was different. He always made time for my questions and treated me with the utmost respect, acknowledging the humanity behind the paperwork. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer who is professional, empathetic, and genuinely cares about your journey, I highly recommend Stuart at reichimmigration.com. He’s the reason I can finally call the United States my home. I can’t thank him enough, and I hope he’s rewarded often for the amazing person he is. 10 stars – would definitely recommend!
