While I ended up choosing another lawyer who spoke Mandarin (since my family doesn't speak English well), I am incredibly grateful and impressed with how kind everyone in this office is! Attorney Donald Smith gave me the gift of his time, and gave me some great advice/insight to the case we were dealing with. Everyone was just really nice and quick to respond, and I would definitely recommend them based on our phone consult. read more

Fast and quality guidance. We worked on multiple h1b petitions with the firm and also took independent advice.

Thank you Donald for taking the time to speak with me today and for helping to clarify my questions about the I-485J filing. I truly appreciate your guidance and professionalism. I will certainly consider hiring your team for legal representation and will gladly recommend your services to others. It was a pleasure connecting with you virtually. read more

I have been with the law firm of Litwin and Smith for the last 38 years, during which they have always been extremely helpful with my immigration case. They have always answered my questions , addressed my concerns and made things easy for me to understand, whenever I needed some advice, clarification or some service regarding my situation. The responses to my questions have always been immediate either through phone calls or e-mails. Everyone involved, including the assistants, were friendly, eager to help and patient, which helped me feel very comfortable in situations that otherwise could cause a lot of stress. Therefore, I highly recommend this firm for their efficiency, excellent results, wonderful attitude and much appreciated support, without any reservations. read more

We finally received our Green Cards. Litwin & Smith and their very helpful and supportive staff have walked with us on this journey. They helped us first with obtaining our R1 and R2 visas as well as the extensions of those. When we experienced some issues and problems along the way, they guided us through those. Then we began the process for obtaining our permanent resident status (green cards), and again their advice and service have seen us through this. And it went much faster than expected. Thank you very much. You are excellent. We recommend Litwin & Smith wholeheartedly. read more

These guys offered me a free consultation and then went above and beyond. With their help, I managed to navigate the path to citizenship. Thank you Litwin & Smith! read more

I've never retained Mr. Donald Smith directly, but he's helped me tremendously over the past 5 years, and without compensation. He's the type of person who is knowledgable, and truly happy to help someone out if the problem fits his domain. Thanks to his advice, my situation resolved extremely effortlessly, and helped me stop and breath when the pressure seemed too much to handle. In hindsight, I would've retained Mr. Smith and let him handle the entire process rather than spending all those hours myself to make sure I would be good. People like himself who genuinely care about the wellbeing of immigrants are exactly who you want to hire when handling your immigration matters. read more

We worked with Donald Smith and Edward Litwin after our original lawyer retired and he referred us to them. We've had a great experience with our immigration visa case. Above all, the people at Litwin & Smith demonstrated that they really care about our case. They will hop on the phone if we have last minute questions, and also answer the phone consistently. Ed did an excellent job preparing us for the consulate interview, both in terms of presenting the facts and also preparing for the behavioral portion too. Without his coaching on how to manage the style of the interview, I'm not sure we would have been successful. I recommend them for immigration law without reservations. read more

In the past 5 years, Mr. Litwin and Mr. Smith offered great help with my green card application. I finally got it this month. They are always friendly and respond quickly. In addition, I think they are very knowledgeable about immigration laws and all documents submitted by them with zero errors. Their team is also very kind and helpful. I really appreciate their help and always highly recommend them. read more

Ed Litwin's firm did a great job helping my mom. Everyone at the company was friendly and fast responses to calls and emails. I highly recommend this firm read more

This review is long overdue. The people at this place are the nicest people you could meet in this world. They are really looking out for you. I think I am really blessed to be able to have them take care of me like that. My friend recommended me here and originally I thought all lawyers are the same going here, going there, going anywhere would've been the same. But, I am glad I stick around. They gave me so many tips and resources on how to obtain different documents. Because of the nature of my work, a lot of times, I don't have the time and bandwidth to remember evrry little detail, but Angela, Jaclyn, Mandy and Mr. Litwin were always on top of things and constantly sending out reminders to me to help me stay on top of things. They went above and beyond for my mom's status change and the moment they got the result, they immediately sent out congratulation letter to us. I feel like home each time I step into their office. I would highly recommend them for your immigration needs. Friendliness: 5/5 Professional: 5/5 Cost: 5/5 read more

Mr Litwin helped us in our employment-based AOS. We had lot of open questions which he answered very calmly and in a timely manner. I have never dealt with in my lifetime, a lawyer who thought he did not spend much time on my case so he charged less even though upfront I committed for the amount. He is not here for earning money but help his client. thanks a lot Mr. Litwin. read more

Litwin & Smith Law Firm are doing great with my permanent residence status. Thank you so much and God bless you all!

I am their customer. With help from them, my PERM/I-140/I-485 got approved by US government.

I called for an appointment for the 10 mins consultation. I got the appointment in that week - the assistant on the phone was speaking clearly and nicely. And during the appointment Ed Lutwin himself was over the phone, he listened, understood and researched about my problem and gave me some advices on what to do. It was very efficient and quick. read more

He successfully charged my credit card for $150 for 30 min of consultation; spoke to me about his Russian heritage; kept my credit card so I had to report it lost/stolen and didn't provide any answers, when in the office promised to double check immigration law. Don't go there! read more

Donald Smith is the worst immigration lawyer I have ever engaged with. The information that he provided me was either confusing, contradictory, or simply wrong... Of course he charged for his services. My case didn't move forward at all. I have been in the US for 8 years and fortunately I have had the chance to deal with lawyers that were much more thorough and efficient. read more

I worked with Donald,Lisa and Mandy@ Litwin & Associates through my employer. They are really very good and professional and helped me very well in my immigration case. I would definitely recommend them and hope to work with them again. read more

I am very thankful to Donald for helping me with my H1B and H4/ EAD situation, even when my employer did not support me. He gave me accurate, to the point information and kept replying to my questions even after the initial consultation. A lot of lawyers don't reply after the first phone call. Donald is really nice, very knowledgeable and polite to work with. Highly recommended. read more

Finally got my Green Card. I worked with Donald, Mandy, Michelle, Kim and Lisa at Litwin & Associates through my employer. Donald is very helpful and are not requiring to get in to the office just to answer questions. Every time I emailed I got prompt responses on all my questions. I will never forget the exceptional help I got from everybody at Litwin & Smith during the process. They are hardworking and do their best at all times. I had a great experience and recommend them. read more

Worked with Mr. Litwin with my fiance visa issues. He was very understanding and as we pushed through all the hurtles he was good in providing feedback through email etc. Payment was also more convenient since it wasn't all up front but paid as we went. read more

I worked with Litwin & Smith on my immigration case and they have done a fantastic job! They worked so hard on my case for 2 years and came back with the best results... I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for excellent immigration lawyers and I guarantee that you will have a successful results & experience with these two. Thanks so much again! read more

Litwin and smith are good immigration lawyers. I was engaged with them throughout my green card process. They're prompt, professional, dependable, reliable, and timely. I'd highly recommend engaging with them. for immigration needs. read more

Litwin & Smith firm is very reliable consultant team. Their team work is very efficient and help me to get 2 times of L1 application, and green card. Thanks again for the hard working!! read more

Just got permanent resident cards for all my family. I received prompt responses from Mandy and Julia on all of my questions all the time during the process. Thanks you. read more

I've worked with these guys as an individual for nearly 10 years now, all the way from my initial H1B employment visa into the US, through to getting a Green Card and most recently becoming a US citizen. I'd highly recommend them, they are efficient, responsive and know how to handle unusual circumstances if they come up. read more

Litwin & Smith firm was very meticulous and attention to detail when providing updates on any immigration changes and statuses. They were very responsive both via email and phone. The experience was simply terrific! I would highly recommend going to Litwin & Smith for immigration purposes. read more

Donald and his team at Litwin & Smith are the absolute best. My first contact with Donald was via phone and with no agreement or retainers signed. I was very anxious about a case and had called several firms and lawyers back then. All of them gave me very bad news and pressured me to sign a retainer and get started as soon as possible...except for Donald. He calmed me and was the only one to give me good news and walk me through the current legislation. He gave me top attention and most importantly, he assured me there was nothing to worry about and was very upfront with his prognosis of my case -- his words were a key part in stabilizing my mental health in 2020. I took a leap of faith based on the firm's reviews online and his attention to me even prior to being his client. Once I became his client and his firm handled my case with a successful outcome, I understood why they are highly rated and trusted by the community. During every step of the process, Donald would always have time to talk to us and his team was also very knowledgeable and respectful to us. They also understand the sensitive and emotional nature of immigration (everyone who applied for a US visa knows!) and they're highly equipped to make you feel comfortable, confident, and hopeful. I would recommend Donald and his team for any and all immigration needs -- they've certainly made a long term client in me, as I will trust them with future cases, both for myself and for the company I work at. read more

Right from the start, I knew instantly that I was dealing with someone with integrity (and not after my $$$) in Mr. Donald Smith when he offered to provide me answers by email to my immigration-related questions, before deciding if a consultation over the phone is necessary. So, that's what I did exactly. I sent him an email with a list of my questions. He replied within a few hours - providing clear and concise answers to every single questions I had. No charge. No hustling for business. No pain (to me!) Mr. Donald Smith was extremely polite and professional in my correspondence with him over the phone and email. I am very sure I will be recommending his service to any of my friends and associates who are looking for an attorney to help in their immigration process. Thank you very much, Mr. Donald Smith !!!! You are truly the best !!! read more

I consulted Mr. Smith regarding my visa situation, he and his team responded immediately with very effective advice, he is very experienced, courteous and his knowledge of the subject-matter is awesome. I would highly recommend Mr. Smith and his firm Litwin & Smith. read more

Call them yesterday for the free consultation. Ask for my email address and never heard from them. So upsetting that you think they will help you but not really. So,now I'm back to square one to find a good lawyer that won't keep you hanging. read more

I guess depending who works with you, since there's more than one lawyer... But my experience with A. Mapa was very good, professional, serious and fast. And meeting her was very pleasant and nice. read more

They did what they said they would and they did it quickly and efficiently. Donald even offered to drive to the state I am in (not CA) to do an interview if it was required which was pretty darn cool of him. It didn't come to that, but the gesture was not unnoticed. I will be dealing with them for any other immigration issues I have and would definitely recommend them. read more

This review is long overdue. Ed Litwin worked with me for years to overcome a variety of hurdles to take me from initially what was only a visitor B-2 Visa then on to an R-1 Visa and finally a Green Card. He was gracious and warm and understanding each time we met for consultation. When it came time to meet with immigration officials he and his associate personally accompanied me to the interview with INS. When INS bungled my application and initially denied me a green card he reassured me he would take care of it. True to his word about 2 weeks later I had a green card! I will never forget his exceptional help to me during the process. read more

Attorney Edward Litwin charged me $150 for half hour, without specifying in advance it was only for half hour. Both Edward Litwin and his secretary said the fee will be X and after I decided to hire him he quoted me $300 more and pretended like that's the price he had told me originally. Stay away from lawyer Edward Litwin. read more

I am an HR Manager at a technology company and have worked with Donald Smith and his team on a number of immigration matters, including H1B and L1A visas, and permanent residency applications. I have been extremely happy with Donald's professionalism and the high quality of his work product. His fees (which are often fixed per project) are very reasonable and competitive. Donald and his team are very good at breaking down and explaining immigration issues and providing reliable advice based on the firm's extensive experience and expertise. Donald's guidance in navigating the complexities of the immigration process have been invaluable in terms of achieving results and in reducing my overall concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend Donald Smith or Litwin & Associates. read more

I have had a very good experience with this firm. Nice people. They have been very helpful in listening to my case and addressing my issues. read more

It was an absolutely terrific experience working with Litwin and Smith. I had initially got to know Donald through an old employer who was filing for my visa. After having been let go from the employer, Donald continued to answer any questions I had around finding a new employer and the timing around how long I had, to find a new employer given the new rules that were being updated quite frequently. After having found a new employer, the employers were a bit jittery about the whole immigration visa process. Litwin and Smith had to work with my current employer and explain about the immigration process to my employers when they had contacted Litwin and Smith about my employment after having been laid off and the steps that had to be taken and calming their nerves about the whole process which led to me being currently working and employed with the current company. They also had to explain about the whole PERM and H1B renewal process as I did not have a whole lot of time left on it and explained it well to my current employers and got things moving and approved in quick time! read more

We would like to thank the whole team of Litwin & Smith for being so professional helpful at each step of our case. Mr. Donald has been our immigration attorney for almost one year now and our experience working with him has been wonderful. We are glad and consider ourselves lucky to have found and worked with Mr. Donald and his associate Ms. Stephanie who handled our E-2 case seamlessly. Ms. Stephanie our point of contact at the final stages of the case has been exceptional, helpful. and friendly. I highly recommend Litwin & Smith for immigration service.
