- “I’m really grateful for the outstanding service I got from [the] immigration team at Ryan Swanson. They did a wonderful job in my permanent residency case; they are extremely knowledgeable and were always ready to answer any question I had during the process. Thank you all for helping to make the dream come true!” — Cristina Cunha
- “You saved my life. I will never forget standing in the airport and being told by the immigration officials at 4:00 pm on a Friday night that there was a problem with my mother’s paperwork and they were returning her to Romania instead of letting her go through immigration and come home with me. The odds were completely against us when we placed an emergency call to you to help us but somehow you did. Now not only is my mother here but we have been able to obtain her greencard! Your help was invaluable, you did a great job! Thank you for all the work you did to bring our family together.” — Luiza and Dora
- “Just a note to say thank you for everything you have done since day one that I came to your office. You and your staff are very professional, attentive, thorough, and caring.”
— Tony Fattahi - “There is something reassuring about dealing with the best of legal talent. But when it comes to immigration matters, where huge sums are involved, or when family structures are involved, there can be no substitute for excellence. Joel Paget has represented me, my family and a number of businesses in immigration matters for 20+ years. He has proven himself every single time. My reliance on Joel, in his talents, clarity of thought and focus on a positive, AND TIMELY response is complete. Things are simply too important to deal with any attorney other than the best…”

- “I would also like to take this opportunity to convey my appreciation for the professional, fast and efficient manner with which my case was dealt by both yourself and your staff, without which I would not have been able to achieve this position.”
