Law Office of David S Wright

I’m a Filipina and I met my husband (who is an American citizen) 3 years ago. When we finally decided to get married and settle down here, we needed to find an immigration lawyer that would help us with our petition process.
I consulted with a few other lawyers but decided to go with David as I found him to be extremely helpful. During our first consultation, he listened, showed compassion, and was very clear about different options. The previous lawyers I had consulted with were vague and somewhat pessimistic in their approach but with David, it felt like he was willing to explore and find the best path for us. I felt very comfortable and knew that my fiancé and I were in good hands.
There was so much documentation and paper work involved but the whole process (which took 3 months from filing to getting the green card!) was a breeze. His assistant, Nela, was thorough, efficient and could be counted on to respond to all my questions in a timely manner. I love how organized she was and she made everything so easy for me. Being new to the US, all the forms I had to fill out and submit were alien to me. However, she patiently explained everything and I will always be thankful for that.
As we approached the date of our interview, David also set up 2 skype calls to better prepare us for this. He was present with us during the interview and though it was mostly my husband and I talking, it was reassuring to know that he was there.
As mentioned earlier, the petition was successful and we got my conditional green card within a few months of filing. Initially, my husband (who is not a big fan of lawyers!) was wary and skeptical of hiring an attorney. But after meeting David and seeing all the correspondences between Nela and I, he was very impressed which says a lot.
My husband and I will always be grateful to David and Nela for the support and guidance they have given us and will happily recommend them to anyone looking to start their life here in the US.

David did an amazing job for our immigration case. He spent many more hours than I would expected, and did a very thorough job with documentation for the hearing with U. S government. He is very knowledgeable, competent and honest. I would recommend him highly.

Never again. My nightmare became true

David Wright himself is patient and somewhat helpful, but as an immigration lawyer, I believe his weakness is that he doesn’t specialize in any particular type of application.
When I went to him in late 2012, I was a gay foreign student from China on OPT who had an American boyfriend, now spouse. I gave him all my useful information, but he said no to all my possible options including asylum as a gay individual from a conservative country – he said since I was never physically harmed, applying for asylum was impossible. He basically told me that he only know how to defend me if I were being deported. I was looking for a LEGAL way to stay, so that just defeated my purpose of going to him.
Due to his shear patience, I planned to see him a second time, but I lost my interest when his assistant Nela messed up my appointment, and guess what, I found an attorney based in New Jersey who specialized in gay asylum, we filed the application in January, 2013 and I was granted asylum in May, 2013 without involving immigration court.
Therefore, it seems to me David can only do straight-​forward cases, again because he doesn’t have a specialty.
