"Mr. Lightman as an immigration attorney is excellent with always his swift response. I hired him to get my status adjusted from H1B to a Permanent Resident. He goes in depth of your case family background or circumstances and analyzes the case and comes out with the best result out of it. He knows what he is doing and handles everything at it perfectly. In general all the lawyers know the rules and regulations and rights of their clients, but he knows how to implement all of them in the right way. I highly recommend Mr. Lightman as a knowledgeable, sincere, well versed and professional attorney. I would definitely look forward to work with him in near future. Thank you Mr. Lightman."

"Mr. Lightman was very honest, yet optimistic about my case from the start. He walked me through the entire process, was able to answer all my questions, and was always responsive. He was proactive beyond expectations and really listened to my concerns. Mr. Lightman worked to figure out the best visa route for me and presented the different possible options, allowing me to make an informed decision. Though he researched the likelihood of a TN visa approval at my request, he suggested applying for the H1-B after providing a thorough analysis. Mr. Lightman was clear with what he needed for the application and informed me of any changes every step of the way. The visa was approved in a record time of only 10 days! When there were some problems with the payment due to my employer's check, Mr. Lightman immediately made several calls to find a solution. My work visa is officially confirmed and I can now stay in the US to work legally. If I ever need legal assistance concerning U.S. immigration, I will definitely look to Lightman Law Firm."
Kristen A. - RSR Partners
"Earlier this year, my firm was searching for the right immigration lawyer to assist me in obtaining a work visa. After spending several hours with various lawyers we decided on Mr. Lightman, whose honesty and ability to simplify and communicate the complicated jargon of immigration law was unmatched. Although I had previously been rejected when attempting to obtain a TN visa under the Management Consultant category at the Vancouver airport, Mr. Lightman assured me that I was eligible for a TN visa under this category. Working with Mr. Lightman on the application process was straightforward and stress-free, and I was shocked at how quickly the application was submitted and approved. I will definitely go to Mr. Lightman for any of my future immigration needs."

"In March 2009, we hired Lightman Law Firm and specifically Doug Lightman to help with our green card through marriage application. We can honestly say we made the right choice. Doug guided us through the process every step of the way. Preparing our application quickly and professionally, and most importantly absolutely correctly, we we're able to move through the process much quicker than we had anticipated. At each step, Doug went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared and took his time to explain the best course of action. Most importantly, throughout the process we felt he was genuinely interested in us getting our green card. Before our green card interview Doug meticulously made sure we were organized and prepared. The result was a quick and smooth interview, resulting in a I-551 passport stamp (only 15 weeks after the application was mailed). We highly recommend Doug and his firm to anyone thinking of applying for a green card His expertise is invaluable and the time saved having a truly qualified and experienced professional prepare and send the documents on our behalf was more than worth the very reasonable fees."

Michelle Modglin (Operations Manager) - LeadThem Consulting
"Our company contacted Lightman Law Firm after 2 failed attempts to get one of our Canadian computer systems analysts into the US for a project with a customer. Doug Lightman took the time to really listen to what we needed, answered all our questions and walked us through the process step-by-step with great patience. Because of our previous failed attempts our situation was higher in risk, but with the assistance of Mr. Lightman, we not only got our computer systems analyst into the country for our project, we were able to get the paperwork approved for the full 3 years allowed. I highly recommend Lightman Law Firm and will definitely call when we need assistance again in the future. Doug Lightman is extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with, and I appreciate all of his help."

"Doug Lightman's superior knowledge in Immigration Law not only sped up the process of obtaining my TN Status, but added an extra sense of comfort and reliability throughout the entire process. Doug provided world class guidance throughout the course of obtaining my TN Status by meticulously walking me through each step of the application and border interview, which served as a huge confidence builder on the day I applied at the Rainbow Bridge border in Buffalo, NY. I was overly impressed with Mr. Lightman's professionalism and expertise in the field of Immigration Law and I would highly recommend using the services of Lightman LLC for any Immigration concerns. I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Lightman for exceeding my expectations and for providing me with a stress free immigration experience."

Maude and Devesh Ashra "Our case seemed relatively straightforwards, US Citizen married to a Canadian who was applying for Permanent residency. Usually, whenever things seem "straightforward," they rarely turn out to be that way. Mr. Lightman understood our backgrounds, ensured that our case was filed in the most complete manner, that there was appropriate follow-up, and that the timetable was as efficient as possible. We received the green card in less time than we had expected, and there were no surprises along the way. It really was straightforward.

I was surprised the most when replied my email on Sunday afternoon within 30 minutes, and when he noticed some number errors in my files before I submitted. If there is more professionals like him, world would be much better place!" Oren Manor - Advantage Lock Key "A quick word of thanks for the excellent job Mr. Lightman did to help me obtain my permanent residency card. I have used the services of several lawyers to apply for educational and professional visas. Of the attorneys I have used, none come even close to the professional attitude and personal service that I have received from Mr. Lightman and his firm. What distinguishes this firm from other attorneys is that he knows the details of your case, is quick to respond to your questions, and is honest, generous with his time, very polite, reliable and supportive. If you are looking for an excellent immigration lawyer who cares about the person behind the case, I strongly encourage you to contact Lightman Law Firm."
