I started my green card process with Wilner & Associates in November 2021, hoping their expertise would streamline the application. Unfortunately, my initial application was delayed due to missing requirements—something I thought I was paying a lawyer to ensure was done correctly. Throughout the process, I lost track of how many different people managed my case, and transitions were rarely communicated. Several times, I emailed for updates only to find out much later that the person handling my case had left or my emails were going to spam due to their “system upgrade.” If you choose this firm, be prepared to actively manage your case and follow up regularly. I didn’t feel support or informed on the process. Even after paying an extra $750 (plus copying and mailing fees) for an extension on my work permit, I had to constantly chase down updates to avoid a gap in employment. While they’re prompt when it comes to billing, unfortunately, I didn’t feel the same urgency regarding my case
They highly advertise about how they communicate closely with their clients. They preach they get back to you within 24 hours no matter what. They will tell you that's what separates them from others. (just listen to the recording while you on hold, You would be on hold for hours or days unless the call get disconnected). We are trying to get a refund from them! its been more than six months. They haven't done a single thing other than to took my money and run. I am planing to complain
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.
