Avi was patient and carefully explained many details and possible outcomes which clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience. He was personable on the phone as well as face to face. He represented me at county and city hearings. The county dismissed my case and the city hearing had a favorable outcome. Neither of these results would have been possible without Avi's help. I highly recommend him.

Whether it be a criminal case or traffic case (remember-your drivers license is vitally important), reach out to him for a consultation. Don't take it for granted that you can just walk into a courtroom and get supervision for traffic violations. He will give you the best possible legal advice and if you move towards trial, he will properly prepare for the challenge. He is an excellent lawyer from a family of lawyers. Choosing a good attorney for a legal matter, is just as important as choosing a good doctor for a medical problem. Highly recommended!

Myself, nor my family, have ever been more dismissed and taken advantage of by anyone as we were by…read moreKurczaba Law Office. The lack of professional courtesy, customer service, and proper business practices at this law office makes it mind-boggling to me that they not only have such a high rating, but are in business at all. My first interaction with the team, specifically Chris, was very pleasant and encouraging. This was the interaction that made me decide on this firm to help me with my immigration needs. In the very beginning, I couldn't have been more pleased. There were many encouraging interactions and quick responses. However, after I paid the initial $6000...the phone calls started to become mostly ignored, the emails were mostly ignored, and the frustration started mounting. On the rare occasion that I did get to speak to someone at the desk, they were frustrated to be answering the phone and couldn't have sounded more put-off to just be speaking to me. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, we moved to the second stage (and second set of fees) of our visa application (after the petition approval). This is where things really went south. When I went to pay the Thousands of dollars more that they quoted me to have them help with the forms (to get us documentarily approved through the National Visa Center), they DOUBLED the fee. Not exaggerating...Doubled it! I fought. I was told "Prices have changed since we started". Still i fought back, saying that this was ridicules, and unfair, that I had a quote. The response to that was "He must have quoted you wrong". I couldn't believe that a law firm would take advantage of me and my family like that. After a LOT of deliberation my wife and I decided to pay the Grossly engorged fee. What else could we do? It had already taken WAY more time than we had been told in the beginning, and we needed to get this done. After that, it was the same story as the first time. Once payment had been made, my emails and calls went mostly unanswered. Finally we got our interview. My email about uploading a few extra forms went ignored. As such, when I was there at the consulate for our interview, they told me that we didn't have all of our forms uploaded. Thankfully, they gave me till the end of the day to upload it myself. I would give less than one star if I could, and I would suggest that you VERY much consider a different law office for your immigration needs. As for the fee? I'd say get it in writing, but I had that and they still ignored it. This will forever be the Worst part of my experience immigrating to the United States.

Then a few weeks ago I was cleaning out some old files and found what looked like a check for about $3000 from my closing. It said it was only valid for 120 days. I was freaking out and didn't have any idea what to do so I emailed Shane. He immediately said he'd look into it and did. He found proof that the check had been reported as lost and a replacement issued and cashed. I was so relieved. He never mentioned any kind of payment, her just immediately solved the problem. A true pro.

If you knew how many times that exchange happened during my home buying process, you'd feel confident in your choice too. The other reviewer said it best - my experience with Shane was flawless from start to finish. Shane took what was a nerve-wracking experience for me, as a first time home buyer, and made it seem so easy. He walked me through every step of the process, he didn't bat an eye when the batshit crazy seller lost his damn mind during attorney review, and when I finally got to meet him at the closing table I was super excited because he just seemed like an awesome guy (and he lived up to my expectations). He's so awesome that we breezed through closing in barely 45 minutes, and somehow still made me understand all the legal jargon in my nerve-wracked-sleep-deprived state. It's too bad I'm never moving again (haha!), otherwise I'd use Shane again in a heartbeat.
