Mr Lawit and his staff are top notch. I had problems with my employer, for 3 years tried to make the green card happen until I hired Mr Lawit. His persistence and attention to detail made my green card dreams possible. Why settle for others when you can have an awesome lawyer who cares about your case? Mr Lawit and his staff reviewed my case, and developed a plan of action that worked. It was an uphill battle, and my employer was not too cooperative. My case was stuck for two and a half years with no end in site. Mr Lawit and his staff went above and beyond what can be reasonably expected of a lawyer in a case like mine, which convinced me that they truly care about my case and the challenges that I was facing. With expert guidance they brought me through every hurdle, and provided encouragement when the road seemed arduous. Mr Lawit and his staff are dedicated, professional, compassionate and trustworthy. I would not trust anyone else with my immigration needs. Excellent!
I had reached out to several different attorneys in Albuquerque and they all told me I needed to pay for a consultation, question and answer session. But among all Mr. Lawit reached out to me personally, not only answered my questions but also assured me that there wouldn't be any concerns. I could obviously see that it wasn't a matter of money for him. I hired him a few months later and he and his team were on top of my case. EXCELLENT communication and processing. After I received my conditional permanent resident card and while I was going through abuse, Mr. Lawit assured me that the Immigration office is understanding of such situations and made sure I was safe. His consultation helped me gain the courage to leave an abusive situation. He applied for the removal of condition on my case & it got approved without even an interview required. Mr. Lawit treated me like he would have treated his daughter in such situation. He is very compassionate, trustworthy and determined to HELP!
Thank You for your kind words. We strive to provide excellent services to all clients. Your case required some extra work but it all worked out for the best. You are a permanent resident. We particularly enjoy doing humanitarian relief cases.
I have visited USA on tourist visa stuck to my Indian passport or on UN Blue passport at least two dozen times. In 2008, I gave up my US Green Card in 2008 but did not keep a copy of I-407 form. In 2019, when I applied for a US tourist visa, it was put on hold for want of a copy of I-407. It was John who procured a copy of it from US HomeLand, which led to my getting a US visa eventually. I did the right thing of hiring John to help me out. It worked.
John Lawit, his assistant Elizabeth and the rest of the team did an amazing job, they worked on the preparation of the case tirelessly, the communication level was exceptional. After finally meeting with them in person I felt welcome. They are polite, patient they listen to all our questions very attentive.
I highly recommend John Lawit and his team to represent anyone with any
immigration related issue.
Hello, I found John W Lawit on Lawyers.com. After I texted him my concerns he was quick to respond to my questions. His advice was sound and although I did not need to hire him for my needs I would should a need arise. I would highly recommend John and his staff to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
