“I was disheartened when my N-400 was denied, and that was after a year and a half of battling the bureaucracy of USCIS (which included 2 interviews, 2 RFEs, a 1447b lawsuit, it was messy stuff). At that point, I decided that DIY was no longer a smart strategy, and someone on Reddit recommended Chris to me. I was told Chris was an ex-DoJ prosecutor on behalf of USCIS and that Chris was also an expert in immigration litigation. Before Chris, I went to EIGHT other immigration attorneys who didn't want to touch my case at all. They said what I want to do can't be done (BS -- they just don’t know how to do it). And that person on Reddit told me that “Chris is the guy who would touch the cases nobody else would touch.” I needed a killer litigator, because I was planning to take it all the way to District Court, not a paper pusher. So I hired Chris. Chris told me to file an N-336 appeal first, and we should hear back “in 6-8 months.” When I saw the N-336 package, I knew I hired the right guy for the job. Holy hell, it was SOLID -- I wasn't confident before this, but upon seeing the legal brief, I thought I had a good chance now. Guess what? USCIS got back to me in TWO WEEKS with an RFE, and in 3 more weeks, they reversed their denial and granted me citizenship. I just had my Oath yesterday, and I'm now officially a proud US citizen! All thanks to Chris. Thank you Chris for saving my case.”
“After consulting with several other attorneys, I was extremely grateful to find the services of Mr.Dempsey. From the start of our first phone call, I was confident that he would be the right choice for representation. He listened to my situation with such compassion and care, and it became obvious that he has a kind heart and enjoys his work in helping others. I can’t thank him enough for the efforts he has made to help me with my challenging matter.”
“Chris is a seasoned litigator who worked for the Department of Justice for over a decade. That inside knowledge is a huge advantage to any client needing something from the government. Besides providing services to assist clients in applying for and receiving immigration benefits from USCIS, Chris is ready and willing to take it to the next level in federal court to fight for his clients. Very few immigration lawyers provide immigration-related litigation services, and even fewer are willing to handle very unique fact patterns, be able to turn something into a large class-action suit for humanitarian benefit, or can appeal to the Supreme Court for his clients--all of which he has done. He thrives on success and providing legitimate and needed help & relief to his clients, not just billing hours. Especially if your case is unique, has been turned down by other lawyers for being too complex, and/or you've had a poor legal experience in the past (all of which applied to our case), Chris is your guy. And even if you have a more straightforward green card application, for instance, he will handle it just the same. He's been a great help to us.”
“I cannot recommend Chris Dempsey and his team highly enough for immigration assistance.

“This lawyer was a key to the successful humanitarian parole petition for my Ukrainian family member! Mr. Dempsey was professional, determined, organized, very knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and cared about our case. He walked me through every step of the process, with exceptional attention to details; and all paperwork done in a very short period of time. Chris kept my nerves at ease and answered all of my questions, always getting back to me same day. He even encouraged us to call him on Saturday (!) should we encounter any issues at the airport. We are so happy to have worked with such a caring lawyer during a stressful time in our lives. Couldn't recommend this team more.”
“I had the privilege of working with Chris, an exceptional immigration lawyer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment I reached out to him in need of an emergency visa, Chris demonstrated unparalleled expertise and dedication. First and foremost, Chris's ability to handle urgent situations was truly remarkable. He swiftly and efficiently guided me through the complex process of obtaining an emergency visa, a task that seemed daunting at first. Thanks to his knowledge and experience, we received the visa within a matter of days, and that made all the difference for our situation. What truly sets Chris apart is his exceptional communication skills. He promptly responded to all my queries and concerns, putting my mind at ease throughout the process. I never felt left in the dark or unsure about the status of our case, as he kept us well-informed every step of the way. His clear explanations and attention to detail made us feel confident that we were in good hands. Moreover, it's evident that Chris genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being. He approached our case with empathy and understanding, going above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. It was clear that he put his heart into his work, and this personal touch made the entire experience more reassuring and less stressful. In terms of the quality of his work, Chris exceeded all expectations. His profound understanding of immigration laws and regulations allowed him to navigate the intricacies of our case seamlessly. He presented our application with utmost professionalism, leaving no room for error or oversight. Thanks to his meticulous approach, I had complete confidence in the success of our visa application, and he delivered on that promise. In conclusion, working with Chris was an absolute pleasure. His expertise, prompt communication, and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding immigration lawyer. If you find yourself in need of immigration services, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Chris. With him on your side, you can rest assured that you are in the hands of a true professional who will do everything possible to achieve the best possible outcome for you.”

Their prompt responsiveness, attention to details, and genuine care made a significant impact. Greatful for their dedication in helping me reunite with my partner 🙏 ...”
“I have had to call upon Christopher on two different occasions. Both dealing with non-profit Veterans Associations that I belong too. On both occasions Christopher was profesional, courteous and didn't beat around the bush. Both outcomes were great and it is a pleasure doing business with him. My non-profit will keep him on retainer.”
