About Paul Choquette

I am intimately familiar with the immigration process from both the client and attorney perspective. I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada and attended college and law school in the United States pursuant to a student visa. As a young immigration attorney, I married an American citizen processing my own applications for conditional and permanent residence. Subsequently, I became a naturalized United States citizen. Since 1992, I have assisted thousands of individuals and companies successfully navigate a complex and rather daunting immigration system. Never forgetting my experience as an immigrant, my primary focus is providing each client with a clear understanding of the immigration steps that lie ahead as well as a realistic assessment of the results that can be achieved. Each client expects and is entitled to an honest evaluation.

Working with Paul definitely makes the immigration process simple and smooth if you're unfamiliar with it. Paul was friendly, responsive, organized, professional, and knows how to handle this well. He follows up quickly and provides instructions clearly.

Thankful to have Paul as our immigration attorney for adjustment of status! The best part was having the peace of mind that all the paperwork was filed perfectly. Paul was also very quick to respond to email questions - most of the time, within a few hours, which was super helpful. If there is one aspect that could improve is providing ability to have phone call to discuss an issue instead of just email communication (could be limited to 1-2x/month to avoid too many calls from anxious clients). While there are benefits to email, such as clarity and record, sometimes a phone call can help ease some anxiety regarding the process and allow for exploring alternatives. Overall, great experience and my case was also processed many months earlier than expected without an interview!

Paul was very professional and informative throughout our 2 year journey with the spousal visa process. He was very quick with his response every time we had any questions. The email turnaround time was always within couple of hours, even if it was weekend. During the initial application, I had uploaded the wrong form of birth certificate, but Paul quickly helped us correctly upload the required one. I was very stressed, but Paul was convinced us that the second time we did it, it was OK. He is one of the most efficient professional I’ve worked with.

It was great working with Paul. While the process of immigration is long drawn and very stressful at times, it was good to have Paul by our side to understand the process and ask questions and talk to before the interview and at each stage. There are certain steps in the process when Paul is not specialized such as local Police certificates and local level documents (which are specific) to each county, but he is well aware of the overall process and expectations. Paul is a good choice to get your family reunited in the US.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

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.
