“I originally contracted Ms. Debbi Klopman to handle a visa for a foreign national employee that works for a company I own in South Africa. Being a small business owner and knowing nothing of immigration/visa law; I found myself quickly up to speed by way of Debbi's vast knowledge on the subject. Debbi worked diligently to organize a game plan for a visa that was right for my employee AND right for my business. If you are looking to bring employees into the states for short term or extended projects, I can highly recommend Debbi. She will get you where you need to be and keep you within the parameters of the ever complicated maze of immigration law.” July 27, 2008

Dear Debbi,

We had a total disaster on our hands and the clock was ticking. We called you and can't thank you enough for turning the whole thing around. Your tenacity and dedication to this matter was a refreshing change and was so appreciated. Looking forward to working with you again--hopefully in less exigent circumstances.

Yours truly,

Dear Debbi,
Thanks for helping us out once again. You seem to have the talent and skills to make even the most impossible people cooperate!After so many years of doing work for us, you are an integral part of the community.  We have been fortunate to work with someone so compassionate and ethical attorney. You have had to be a 'counselor' in every sense of the word.

Warmest Regards,

Dear Debbi,

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your continuing diligence and sound advice.  

As you are well aware, H-1b availability is uncertain from year to year, so we have been making more use of L-1a visas to transfer some of our managers to our New York headquarters. Your ability to turn these cases around in such a successful manner has greatly assisted us achieving our staffing objectives.   

I appreciate your dogged efforts to turnout a complete, finished product. Your tenacity and overall knowledge is most impressive and has been a source of support for us over the last decade. We look forward to a continued, successful relationship and thank you.

Sincerely,
Ken Plotkin
President and CEO

July 2006

Dear Debbi

 I felt totally frustrated by the time you agreed to take my case. It seemed like United States residency was an impossible goal and as you know, I had begun to question whether I would ever again feel like my career was moving in the right direction. Worse, I had been advised that all extraordinary ability cases were uphill battles. Well, now I can look back at the long, stressful process and say thanks with words and not just chocolates (which I know you appreciate).

So thanks for everything--the green card, the O extension and for making the experience vastly different from the one I had with my previous immigration lawyer. Instead of feeling that mine was just another file, I felt that you understood both how to get the job done and also to understand what I was going through.

Because of your efforts I am now in the position to control my career development and as a result of becoming a resident I was able to accept the appropriate job opportunity. When I finally do get my tent show, you will be sitting in a front row seat! Thanks again!

Dear Debbi

I would like to thank you on behalf of my family for rescuing our application for permanent resident status. For four years we entrusted our permanent residency application to a lawyer who made little to no progress. When we were introduced to you and you advised us to file the case in the extraordinary ability first preference category, we were surprised and reticent but then amazed that within months we had our employment authorization documents followed a few weeks later by permanent residency. Not only did this give me flexibility to follow a more fulfilling career path but my wife was able to work and my son could get his Learner Permit. The immigration lawyer is both advisor and legal counselor because it is such a stressful and bewildering process. When you told us “not to worry,” we learned that we could really relax in the knowledge that everything was under control. Your support and intimate knowledge of the legal process is what distinguishes you from the rest.

Kindest regards,

Dear Debbi,

Before meeting you we had worked with many immigration lawyers. Whenever we ran into a problem, they were somehow unavailable. Also, to a person, I had no confidence in any of these attorney's intelligence or decision making ability.

By contrast, you are always available when we need you and  have actually turned down work when you felt the chances for a successful outcome were slim. As our biggest challenge has been to find qualified workers, you have proposed solution after solution in the form of different visa programs which we have successfully implemented. We look forward to working on a new training program with you sometime in the near future.

What prompted me to write this to you was our most recent experience. As you well know, two of our most valuable technicians threatened to leave us if they could not be reunited with their children. You gracious agreement to review their cases even after they chose another attorney meant a lot to me. Now, less than four months later their children have plane reservations to join their parents in New York. Had we not been able to bring these children to the United States we stood to loose my best employees.

I just wanted to write this to let you know that your efforts had not gone unnoticed. Thank you Debbi.

Yours truly,

Hi Debbi,

Thanks once more for agreeing to intervene. Somehow the previous damage wasnt irrevocable!

Your efficiency,dedication and knowledge about this crazy immigration system got us here in record time...and for the start of the school year for my four teenagers. You are the only immigration lawyer we would refer as we are confident that you would do everything in your power to get your client a visa. We arent the only people we know that for whom you have obtained those elusive H1B visas after first being denied! Just miraculous--

God bless,

Dear Debbi, 

I just wanted to write a note and thank you for your hard work and personal attention in handling our company's most recent green card sponsorship case.  We have worked with other law firms in the past, but none can compare.  You responded to our every concern quickly and compassionately, and it felt as though you "held our hand" until the end.

Thanks to your personal involvement every step of the way, an otherwise stressful process was made smooth, hassle-free, and ultimately successful.  We can't thank you enough, and you can be sure we'll be recommending you to others. Thanks again.
