Lightman Law Firm

Doug and Iris were fantastic in helping my wife get through the green card process. From filing the paperwork, to always clearly answering our questions, to Doug swiftly jumping into action to correct an error made by the USCIS officer that could have drawn out the process for a number of additional months. We found Doug and his team to be very supportive, and made the entire process very smooth and easy for us. The most stressful part was the long waiting for the Gov't to interview us. Thank you Doug & Iris...you guys are the greatest!Chris & Alessandra H. More...

Wow... is all I can say what a wonderful law firm. I have never dealt with any lawyer that has been as helpful as Guy Menahem. I reached out to the firm to discuss a rather difficult immigration case. He called me over the phone right away and discussed what I would be up against without even asking or a fee up front. He was honest and straight forward and I appreciate every moment he spent with me on the phone. I would highly recommend this law firm just based on my initial experience. I know based on my interaction that will go to bat for any of their clients. More...

I was getting deported , Guy had helped from canceling deportation proceedings to getting my green card, in 2016 I received my 10 year green card. Guy is very professional and knows his job very well , was very patient and flexible with my work schedule and my personal time with my Family , was very welcoming. Prices so far are the best I could get , I had seen different lawyers and was charged even more . His prices to me are very detailed you know how your money is being sent , also it gives you a heads up on how to get better prepared to pay for your legal fees . Also It made me learn a lot more than I knew before on immigration policy. Would definitely recommend Guy to anyone . More...

I highly recommend Guy Menahem of Lightman Law Firm to anyone who needs help with any type of immigration case.  Guy took my asylum case, and we won in December 2017.  It was a long process, and he made sure that the whole time, we kept in contact and were on top of the case.  We got the interview notice just about a month before the actual interview and even though it was such short notice, Guy made sure that I got fully prepared for my interview, and knew what the process would involve.  He made sure that all my documents were complete and ready.  I felt a lot of support from him during that really stressful period of my life.  I can tell that Mr. Menahem is a really professional asylum lawyer, who has worked with a clients from all over the world.  Guy also can speak several languages, including mine - Russian.  He is always keeping up to date about all the changing rules and policies of immigration law that happen quite often.  I am so glad that I met Guy and am grateful for the work he did on my asylum case!

Doug and Lightman Law Firm helped my wife and I obtain our marriage-based green card.Coming into the process, I was unsure if my wife, a Brazilian national who overstayed a tourist visa, would be able to get a green card through our marriage (I am a US citizen) due to her overstay and denial of a previous visa. Doug and his firm gave us a consultation and confirmed that everything looked good, then promptly helped gather our documentation. We met with him before we filed, and he answered all of our questions and put us at ease. Pricing was reasonable, though I did have legal insurance through my job at the time. It took about 8 months from filing to receiving the notice for the green card interview, and along the way, I had a few things arise that I was unsure about. Just about every time I had a question, Doug responded very quickly via email with his guidance, and helped ease our uncertainties. When the interview notice came, Doug gave us a prep session to make sure everything was in order, and we requested he attend the interview (there is a fee involved).At the interview six weeks later, he came prepared and ready to help us. While meeting with the immigration officer at USCIS, a previously-unknown issue with my wife's visa was brought to our attention by the officer (it incorrectly stated she was married at the time she received her visa). After making sure everything regarding the issue was thoroughly documented at the interview, Doug gave us a thorough breakdown of the possibilities and next steps. He even offered us a ride home after the interview (we don't own a car, and the interview was not far from our apartment; we gladly obliged), and left us with kind words of encouragement which helped our confidence despite being caught off-guard by the visa issue. Luckily, the issue never manifested itself, and we received the green card and approval within a few days of each other, albeit some six weeks after the interview. Overall, our case was relatively simple, but when a complication did arise, Doug stepped up and was ready to help us. He is ethical, straightforward, and willing to help, and his knowledge of immigration law is thorough. The quick responses were the kicker for me - sometimes it can be nerve-racking to sit and wait for vital information...you won't have that problem with Doug and his staff. More...

I was first introduced to Mr. Lightman when I was a student at Hunter College. He came to talk to us about applying for an H1B visa, and he made an impression of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. A few years later, when I needed help to prepare and file the application for my Green Card, his was the first name that came to my mind, and I am glad I consulted Mr. Lightman. Without his and his team's counsel, the application process would have been more stressful for me. As soon as I signed the agreement, I was given all the information I needed to start preparing the documents, which helped me file in a timely manner. Whenever I had questions, I emailed or called Douglas, Matthew or Iris, and I usually got the response the same day or the next day. The attorneys meticulously checked and double-checked all the documents before filing to make sure that nothing was missing. Finally, when the approval was granted, the attorney informed me the same day, so I didn't have to wait for the letter coming in the mail. I had such a great experience that I would recommend Lightman Law Firm to anyone who is not comfortable filing their Green Card or visa application on their own. More...
