I retain Mr. Mark Monaco and he has been wonderful from day 1 and explained the process clearly and told me expectations so that there is no surprises. He was always gives me updates in a timely manner and he communicated with me at all times. He worked very hard on my case for the past year and collecting all the documents to support my case. He also helped me for my interview and prepared me to get ready for my interview and to know my case clearly. At the end he fought for me with USCIS/immigration when they tried to reschedule for my interview and he made them change their mind and I did the interiview on the original schedule date and I had a successful interview and got my Green Card approval in a mail this week and this is all because of him that he did prepare me well. I am very thankful to have him as my Attorney and I recommend him for whoever hire him that he is a very highly qualified Attorney and knows his work very well. He is highly dedicated and professional person.

My family and I have had the privileged of having Mr. Monaco as our immigration attorney for years. I have never seen someone so passionate, honest, knowledgeable and dedicated as Mr. Monaco. Mr. Monaco gave my case 100% and during one of the most difficult times in my life, he proved to not only be an amazing attorney, but also one of the kindest being. I appreciate his calmness, politeness and respectfulness towards me as a client. I highly recommend Mr. Monaco to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest at heart. He is trustworthy and very straight forward. For Mr. Monaco it is not about the money, he truly wants to see his client succeed. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do Mr. Monaco.

Very glad that we worked with Mark on our case. He was very patient, always explained our options and spend considerable time going over the documents and helping me prepare for the interview. I liked his approach of ensuring we have all required documents and even more, to make sure the officers had all their questions covered up.

Mark Monaco helped my wife attain her green card after we got married. He is an excellent immigration lawyer, very professional, dedicates time to the client, and offers a competitive rate. Mark is very thorough, helps the client prepare for the USCIS interviews, and is available to attend the interviews as well. He is also very experienced, and knows all of the pitfalls which could trip up an applicant in an immigration case. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is going through the immigration process.
