We were lucky to find David to help us with our marriage case. He is very knowledgeable, realistic, & personable, making what can be an overwhelming process easy to navigate. We had a few hiccups along the way, but David was incredibly responsive & reassuring, and we were approved sooner than expected! We absolutely recommend working with him.

Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about David, I had recently gotten married and needed help with getting my card card. Actually I had called a few attorneys before david but i was still undecided, however once I spoke to him I knew instantly that he was going to be my best option. He's very professional and super nice in person lol not to mention efficient and attentive. He always responds so quickly to my emails and phone calls, and everything went well and surprisingly very fast, he also met with and prepared us for the interview to come. He's very detailed and gets straight to the point, and most importantly I cant stress this enough how non judgmental he was throughout this entire process! I'm so happy that I found the right attorney and now my green card is being processed, Thank you again David.

David is amazing! I came to him with an L1A to EB1C case after getting some resistance from the attorneys my company uses and he was fantastic from the get go. After an initial free consultation (which is a VERY rare thing to come by); he offered me a very fair price to complete my application. He was readily available to advise on the documents I needed to pull together for both the initial filing and then the subsequent request for evidence. He was always available when I had questions (of which I had many!) and gave me realistic answers and time frames. I came into see David really frustrated, worried and overwhelmed, and left with the right information and the confidence to move forward, and he delivered just as he promised. I have recommended him to several of my friends and would do the same for anyone - so if you are looking for a great immigration attorney in the NYC area then do not hesitate to call David. I really can't thank you enough for all of your hard work and determination to get my case approved.

I have consulted multiple immigration lawyers on questions regarding H1B transfer and green card petitions through the employer and I could not be happier with the quality and response time David provided. He took the time to explain everything in detail and was very professional and realistic. Every interaction I had so far was very helpful and I would highly recommend.

One lawyer picks client based on country you come from. He only picks a case but not open to all immigration cases. When I called, I can even heard him sigh on the line. I felt disrespected. After he knew what country I come from, he said oh sorry i cant right away. I think there is a discrimination in this law firm. Don’t believe their high rating reviews! It’s terrible!!!!!! I wouldn’t recommend.

After my naturalization case being lost in a pile of cases at USCIS for year and half I decided to hire an attorney. Less than three months ago I found David online and decided to give him a call based on many great reviews. David was great to work with, very resourceful, straight to the point and efficient. Two days ago I got sworn in as an American citizen and couldn't be happier. Thank you David! #murica

I'm so happy my wife and I found David he made this whole process EASY and painless for us we went to him nervous and uncertain about our situation and our case he was thorough and honest he didn't try to "hustle" us or sugar coat anything from start to finish he made it clear on what to expect. He's a superb communicator who we had absolutely no problems contacting either by phone or email. He's a people person who is pleasant and funny. He got started on our case right away and kept us up to date every step of the way.... I would recommend everyone with any immigration issue to run to his office because he's the real deal and his Dad "Bob" is great too lol

Gottfried and Gottfried have been our go-to firm for immigration matters for decades. David, like his father before him, has great integrity and makes sure he puts his clients at ease during the often stressful immigration process. He responds nearly instantly to phone calls and emails, always has the best advice and most current information, and is extremely supportive of clients while navigating complex immigration protocols with the utmost professionalism and confidence. David Gottfried is the best attorney for you if you're looking for assistance and guidance with immigration matters.

I had my permanent residency through their service and I can say the entire process was very pleasant. Once I had a stumbling block by the Gov., which was not our fault, but David knew what to be done and he cleared it out easily. The service was very professional and helpful. You won’t be disappointed with the Gottfrieds!!

I just got off the phone with David. He was genuine, honest and straight to the point. In a 5 minute phone consultation he has helped me far more than any attorneys in the past three months, and requested no compensation and even took the time to send me the information.

Thank you David from the bottom of our hearts !

Outstanding Service!

From the very start David demonstrated professionalism and knowledge of the immigration law. My family were his first clients with Polish heritage and with what we can call a complicated "mess" of a case that was mismanaged by two other "immigration" lawyers who have asked for a lot of money with very few (we can even say no) positive results. But you know once you provide the lawyer with a payment you try to stick with them in hope that they will actually do what you paid them for. Well our mistake was not finding David sooner.

From the very first counsel meeting David provided us with realistic and detailed information on what our options were at the time in order for my family members to receive their green cards. David was not afraid of the challenge that our case presented. He was sure of his knowledge in the immigration law so the fact that he has not yet worked with clients from Poland did not trouble him at all. In just 15 minutes of the first meeting he provided us with comfort and hope that we can still clean this mess up. He was on point with checking and double checking all immigration law aspects that were related to and which could assist with my family's case. He made sure to explain the whole process to us so that we would fully understand it. All of his predictions regarding waiting time and process results were correct.

At the very start David explained to us the cost of his service and any additional payments we may have to provide for application fees etc (depending on our choice of action), and throughout the entire collaboration with him he has not asked us for any additional service fees (I know this may be shocking as some lawyers seem to charge extra $500 for every conversation you have with them well that's not the case with David.). David sets everything clear at the start of the process and holds his word to it.

David's communication skills are impeccable and he has no fear of questions. At the start of our collaboration we emailed him with "essays" of questions that many lawyers would probably ignore thinking that we are questioning their knowledge or would just give us a general answer for all of them. But David took the time to answer each of our questions individually which really helped us understand the immigration process and also reassured us of his competence and good character. Throughout the 8 months of our communication David was ALWAYS very prompt with answering our emails and providing us with the most recent updates in my family's case.

When working with David we felt that we were a team. We knew that we could count on him with answering any question and helping us to resolve any new obstacle that came our way in this long process. He went beyond of what we could ever expect from a lawyer to help us. My family is very grateful to you David. Thank you again for all your help!

To all of you who took the time to read this comment; my family's immigration problems are now resolved thanks to David's help. If you find yourself in a situation with immigration problems I strongly advice you to seek David's counsel and see for yourself what he can do for you. Best of luck!

Jeżeli poszukujecie odpowiedzialnego prawnika z pewna znajomością Amerykańskiego prawa emigracyjnego to David jest osoba której szukacie. Powodzenia!

David has helped me right from the get go, from getting my H1-B visa to getting my H1-B visa transferred. He knew the answer to all the questions i have ever had, if he wasnt sure about something he will be honest and get back to you only after he is 100% sure. David always kept me in the loop during the entire process, making sure I am aware of everything that is going on. I recommend him to anyone else out there looking for an immigration lawyer. I will continue my relationship with David for whatever else I will run into in the future.

David is a fantastic. efficient, personable, knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with immigration attorney. He helped me and my wife who is Thai get thru the process I-485, I-130, I-131 and I-765 and interview stress free and very efficiently. David quickly filed our for us and thoroughly briefed us before the interview. His interview briefing took the stress out of it and we had a nice and successful interview because he had us well prepared. I can't recommend him strongly enough. He is also very responsive and always got back to us quickly. Our experience with the first attorney we met with was less than encouraging and then I looked on the internet and read David's reviews. They are correct. He gets the job done very well and for us it was much faster than we expected. Start to finish, 6 months. Wow! Thank you so very much David Gottfried. You are the superman of immigration lawyers.

I had a rather difficult immigration situation, being a former ranking diplomat applying during tough immigration times for a Green Card. I discussed it with David and we’ve worked out the best options for my application on exceptional abilities. I had a solid supporting file, yet we still faced serious challenges. Ultimately, we both worked with a lot of people to make it successful. He contributed decisively on his side. So, David put me in touch with a number of professionals from various fields, who contributed with their inputs tom the file, so that the case goes through. I should also mention a very important aspect – the actual legal part - his legal argumentation was to the point, in fact being so good that it left immigration with no choice but to accept several of our application points. Great professional attitude aside (he replied to my emails in no time and always prepped the things in record time), he is also a good person. I am deeply grateful to him for his professional approach and personal positive (and, even, when necessary, fighting) attitude. Thank you so much for your diligent and speedy work, professional attitude and for humanely helping us! David Gottfried comes highly recommended!

David is a great lawyer, he helped me with my I30 and now is advising my sister. He was always on top of things and would respond within the hour. He is very professional and attentive. On top of that he gives you options and good legal advice. Before deciding I would take his services I consulted another lawyer who did not have the knowledge and expertise David has. I'm a happy client. I definitely recommend him.

David is amazing! He responds to e-mails so quickly, answers calls, and knows what to do. I've been waiting for months after the interview with no updates - all my online inquiries and calls to USCIS customer service say my case is just pending. But David knew what to do and in just 2 months since my consultation with him, my green card was released! Would definitely recommend him to someone seeking an immigration lawyer - he will surely help you. My only regret is not going to him sooner!

This morning - early on a Saturday - David e-mailed to give us the great news about our application to USCIS. ("petition for alien relative") He takes time on a weekend to give his clients good news so they do not worry! This was after we had paid him in full. It is really amazing. Earlier while helping with our I-130, I-131, I-485 and I-765 applications he was always organized, efficient, friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, confident yet modest, pleasantly amusing and respectful of our time and privacy. When we had an application for emergency travel he was quick and helpful, during all events he was able to respond promptly and thoroughly by e-mail to impromptu questions. He gave us clear and concise preparation for the immigration interview so we would have the correct papers and understand what to expect in the questioning. Any small worries or questions; he will get right back to you with "you do not need to worry" or else "you need to bring this particular paper" . He is also very fair in his invoicing and pricing; he seems to love his work. My wife and I highly recommend David. It was a pleasure to work with him

We chose David based on the online reviews and feedback and this was one of those rare occasions where the internet certainly spoke the truth. It was a pleasure working with David, he made the whole process a breeze and explained every detail clearly. The best thing about David is that he will ALWAYS answer your call which in itself is unheard of in this day and age when it comes lawyers. Me and my wife would certainly recommend David Gottfried for your all your immigration legal needs!!!

We picked Gottfried & Gottfried because it was a father and son firm. What a lucky decision! From our our very first phone call, David has been an amazing attorney. He is thorough, incredibly patient, extremely responsive, knows the immigration system in and out, and truly cares about his clients. He’s also proactive: we needed to do a last minute overseas family trip, and he had filled out all the forms and talked us through that process before we could even ask. Overall, we cannot recommend David more. It has been a pleasure working with him.

Bob and David are amazing, dependable lawyers.They really care about thier clients. You instantly feel better about your situation when you talk to them.They are not only super smart and extremely experienced, they also understand how stressful the process is for you. We worked with David for a H4 case and consulted with him about our employment based GC application and Bob came to our Greencard Interview, all of which went extremely well. Our cases were complicated and we were feeling very stressed. David talked to us several times both over the phone and in person and answerd ALL our questions patiently, calming us down.

Our GC interview went extremely well and Bob was to credit for it. We thought it would be stressful, instead it was almost a pleasent experience. He pointed out things we wouldn't have known to point out and put everyone at ease by making little jokes. We are so glad he came with us. He has been doing this for 40 years and it shows! We are so grateful to both David and Bob and will highly recommend them.

I highly recommend this immigration lawyer. I had a difficult case and he was able to help me. He was not the first lawyer I contacted. Other lawyers just wanted money upfront and had no clue what to do. David is very smart, creative and knowledgeable. I did extensive search and read dozens of reviews before I finally chose him. This law firm is simply perfect and they are very honest! The consultation is free and he responds to calls or emails himself without any delays.

It was important for me to work with an immigration attorney that I could trust, and David is just that!

My US citizen husband and I (German citizen) retained David in March 2018, with the first face-to-face meeting on November 2018 after we married in NYC. I entered the US as a K1 Fiancé and sought David’s assistance for an “Adjustment of Status” to Conditional Permanent Resident. The first thing you’ll notice is- David is not like other lawyers. He speaks and works with confidence, and many of our email exchanges had a casual feel to it. As a meticulous data scientist, it was an acquired taste. My husband and I learned that it was *because* he was so experienced (filing hundreds of the same exact cases a year), that he knew right off-the-cuff what documentation USCIS required / considered optional. What I appreciated was David’s diligence. He followed-up, he made sure, he was exactly who we needed for this job, not more – not less. The state of immigration in this country right now is emotionally taxing, and intellectually challenging. I trust no one but David with removing the conditions on my conditional Permanent Residence in 2 years’ time (June 2021), which is to say with due importance – I trust him with my life in USA.

My husband and I live overseas and we were looking for a US immigration lawyer to help us with our family petition. After many phone conversations with different lawyers my husband came across David on yelp. From the very first telephone conversation we knew David was the lawyer for us. He showed great personality and experience in his field. He answered all our questions and gave us the full picture on what was laying ahead. Long distance was not an issue. Even from Italy he has always been available for us with no hesitation, either answering our emails within minutes or a picking up the phone for a conversation. Thanks to him our case ran smoothly and we were approved in as little as 3 months! We greatly recommend David for all your immigration procedures.

After numerous complications with our previous lawyer, we were really in a hurry to find a better attorney. That is when I cam across David’s information on Yelp. Being number one, with lots of great reviews I thought it was at east worth a shot to try and contact. And just like the descriptions in the comments David answered a number of my emails promptly for no cost, without any hesitation and gave us reassuring advice. When we finally met and explained our situation David, he confidently expressed that our previous lawyer had no idea what he was doing and he would be able to sort it out for us. So on a leap of faith we went with David to complete our green card case, and that is exactly what he did. His knowledge and expertise in this field was worth all of the time and resources that it took to easily secure the green card. We couldn’t thank him and his team enough!

My husband and I engaged the services of Mr. David Gottfried in May 2017 in order to apply for our citizenship. We were aware of the wonderful services provided by the Firm, since we engaged the services of his father, Mr. Robert Gottfried in March 2009, when we applied for our permanent residence status.

The excellent services continued under the guidance of Mr. David Gottfried. During our initial meeting, Mr. Gottfried gave us an overview of the process, culminating with the completion and filing of our applications. A few days before our interviews, Mr. Gottfried reminded us of what would transpire and wished us success. We were successful!

There was no communication from the Dept. of Homeland Security for approximately 2-1/2 months. We reached out to Mr. Gottfried and within a week, he gave us positive feed-back. Leading up to our Oath Ceremony, he once again provided excellent guidance.

We are appreciative of such excellent and professional services provided by Mr. David Gottfried and we have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Gottfried to any individual seeking such immigration services--the best legal services!

I would HIGHLY recommend David and his firm to anyone without hesitation, you are in good hands and you can rest assured that his advise is purely for the best interest of the client. I had a great experience where I received informative legal immigration advise which was against hiring a lawyer, with some tips on how to move forward on my own! how rare is that? Thank you for your assistance, wishing you the best of luck.

So glad I spoke to David this morning! He was really friendly, assuring and knowledgable. I received honest responses with regards to what he can help with, and he was forthcoming with information for those actions I can take myself. He seems trustworthy and I won't hesitate to remember them should I need any assistance. In fact my first reaction after the call is to write a quick review about my experience, a small way of saying thanks.

You really can't go wrong with giving them a call! Thanks again and wishing you continued success.

David is an angel. I called him again today to ask for his opinion and he offered his thoughts with a kind and assuring tone. It helps to have someone who knows the lay of the land give you some perspective! I really appreciate his clear head and no nonsense approach. He laid it all out and gave me clarity on what's ahead. I feel so relieved to have someone in my contact list that I can count on.

Doing well by doing good is an admirable business approach. Thank you for your sincerity and for taking the time in your busy day for my questions!

Gottfried & Gottfried have been our immigration lawyers for years. Throughout that time, they have provided excellent service and have been very responsive and helpful, particularly through the otherwise confusing and red-tape sort of process that comes with naturalization. Starting from a complicated immigration status, I am today a naturalized US citizen, thanks to Bob and David! I would highly recommend their legal services.

We had wonderful experience working with David Gottfried -- he's very knowledgeable, friendly, and down to earth. It felt like we are dealing with a good old friend who guided us through the process, even advising against unnecessary spending - even though it minimized his fees. how rare is that? Highly recommend and will be sending friends to him.

David was truly helpful and guided us the whole way through up to our interview. He's very open and responsive via all forms of communications. The conversations we had with him are all very casual and did not feel stuffy. He reviewed all our paper work and provided us with various experiences he's had with the USCIS which made us much more relieved. All the useful information he provided us made us very comfortable with the whole process and left no doubt for us. We would definitely recommend him to others! Thanks David! Keep up the amazing work!

He is really helpful. I call him asking about an issue regarding my citizenship; he answered me right away, not like others lawyers who you to come in a pay consultation fee. I highly recommend him.

Atty. David Gottfried – an excellent, brilliant, compassionate and top immigration lawyer
Atty. David has the excellent capabilities and legal knowledge, dedication and attention to details which were instrumental in our immigration case – change of status from G-4 visa to immigrant visa (green card).
My wife and I worked with the United Nations for over two decades. Firstly, due to the changing laws in immigration today, we decided to hire Atty. David of Gottfried and Gottfried Law offices based on their expertise as recommended by a good number of former UN employees. Secondly, we did not want to go through the tedious process of conversion or change of immigration status by personal handling of such a difficult process! At our age we could not handle the “stress” involved in the process.
Atty. David guided us all through our journey to this land of Green Card and made sure that our forms were filled up properly, notified us of changes in the immigration process and he monitored our case from day one.
The bottom line – we got our green cards in less than six (6) months.
Thank you, Atty. David! We will continue to recommend you to other prospective retirees in the United Nations system…and to those who have other immigration cases, simple or complicated, you can trust Atty. David and the entire law offices of Gottfried and Gottfried.

David is an incredible immigration attorney. Meeting with him for the first time, I was impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge in immigration matters. He is very attentive and reassuring, making your experience with the process less stressful. Extremely efficient in how he prepares and submits your application and in how he keeps you informed at every step of the legal process.
I would recommend David to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

I could not thank David enough for all his patience and expertise when I processed my family's immigrant visa. There were a few setbacks along the way and without David, we would still be lost in the long and complicated process. Thank you, David. Now my family is complete. I trusted my gut the day I stepped into your office, and I had no regrets. I wish you more success!

David was extremely helpful in navigating my E-visa application process. Particularly, I was impressive with his critical thinking and communication skill: he approached my case from multiple angles and came up with creative solutions - his ability to think outside of the box is rare among legal professionals.

Most importantly, he was incredibly resourceful and pleasant to work with. He effectively partnered with experts in other domains (business/accounting) to formulate the strategies with the highest likelihood of success. I highly recommend working with David if you have a complicated case that requires extra attention to detail.

I worked with David for my adjustment of status application. It was a great experience. David was always prompt to respond to my several emails with questions and to keep me updated on the case. Always kind and knowledgeable. Made the process as stress-free as possible, all that with reasonable fees. Would recommend to a friend. Thanks David!

My company and myself have hired Gottfried & Gottfried LLP since 2013 to assist us in handling all visa and immigration procedures in the United States. David Gottfried is an outstanding Immigration Attorney that has a deep understanding of all the complex aspects of the matter. He advised us with an extreme dedication, explained all along the way all the administrative steps. David Gofftried is also a very humane person who takes the time to understand every person's unique situation. I highly recommend him as one of the very best Immigration Attorneys in New York City.

We asked David to help us out with a tricky situation where my previous lawyers negligence had caused a significant delay in our work visas. In a quick meeting, David was able to articulate actual options for us and pointed us to a much quicker and efficient path to a Green Card. Throughout the process, David demonstrated deep practical knowledge of the US immigration system, a keen eye for detail. His affable demeanor made working with him a wonderful experience.

worked with David on my GC application. Very smooth and successful and he is so approachable, reachable, patient and available to answer any questions.

He demonstrated a wide array of experiences of working on all kinds of cases and proficient knowledge. When he was not in the office, his father/business partner responded to my question on his behalf immediately. That was very reassuring.

Also, he is not the first lawyer I had consultations with. I had at least two others over the years, but never ended up working with them. I immediately decided to retain his service after our first meeting. Call it instinct.

Definitely would recommend David's service to other friends. You are in great hands.

Cheers,

Overall, my experience with the David was Excellent. I was informed at every step of the way what was going on. When I had questions they were answered promptly. To be honest the whole process if you go at it alone is confusing, thanks to David I felt at ease. He was upfront when he told me that the paperwork would roughly take 9 months and it did. If you're shopping for an immigration lawyer there's the rest and then there is David. I have no complaints and I want to take the opportunity to thank David here. Thank you David!

David Gottfried is just the best! I went to him officially just once for a change of status, but I contacted him numerous times for follow up via email and phone - but no matter what, he always listened, was extremely professional and gave me sound advise. I would recommend David to anyone seeking a great immigration lawyer.

I received a RFE after filling an I-751 myself about a year ago. I hired David Gottfried to help me send further documents and I successfully received an I-797 today (less than two weeks after sending the evidences), which means the conditional status of my greencard is going to be removed and I will shortly received my 10 year greencard.
Great service for reasonable price!

David is great. I received RFE for my H1b application with previous attorney. My friend recommended David to me and I decided to work with him. It was a very complicated case (previous attorney filed under Marketing Specialist which is very likely to get RFEs) and finally I got approved! David did a great job. Responsible and reliable. High recommended!

I was trying to get some legal advice regarding immigration and reached out to several people. David was kind enough to contact me and was very knowledgeable and ethical. He gave me peace of mind over my situation. I highly recommend this firm simply based on Mr. David Gottfried's altruism.
