This firm is the best you could ever get! If there is a way they will find it! Unbelievably efficient and professional work! I worked with Christina Murdoch and she was amazing... More than just a mere law firm they see you as a person not a number, without lacking the necessary objectiveness and thoroughness. I recommend them a hundred percent! They will work with you around your limitations including financial struggles! Simply the best you can get!

I have known Scott for many years as a personal friend and runner. He is always very dedicated and very knowledgeable in immigration laws. He also volunteers a lot to help immigrants fight for their legal rights in the US.

I was introduced to Scott D. Pollock by one of my friend to address my immigration case, and I am happy with the result. I met Dario Castaneda after talking with Scott, Dario walked me through the entire process, helped me preparing the case in all possible ways, giving me priceless professional advice, made me feel confident and finally won the case! In my opinion, he is practicing the law with highest standard and always bring professional advantage to the clients. I also appreciate Araceli for helping me preparing the document work and coordinating with various tasks. The cost is a steal for such a team and services I got, If anyone has an immigration related case, I would definitely recommend Dario Castaneda and Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C!

Everyone I had contact with at Scott D. Pollock & Associates was extremely prompt in replying, and professional in their advice. They were willing to spend an hour with me in my requests about US naturalization, even though I did not use their services in the end. Their fees, while possibly out of reach of some, are entirely appropriate to the location and level of service that they offer.

Its been a pleasure to work with Hugo and his law firm. I had 2 opportunities to work with Hugo where i did have 2 issues with my fillings . Both the RFE's were complex and Hugo did a great job in taking care of them. He is well informed and always get backs on time. Very knowledgeable professional and very thorough with the information. I would strongly refer Hugo and his firm and would definitely use them for my future fillings.

My h1b transfer has taken by Hugo Rojas which is very complicated and challenging for him every filing ( 2 h1b extensions , 1 i140 approval ). my previous employer without noticing went out of business due to fraud investigation by Department of Labor. So everytime i get RFE for out of status or employment experience with my previous employer he make sure it went through the petition. Hugo is one of the most competent attorneys I found who I believe most.

Mr Hugo Rojas was incredibly at providing advice to handle the situation. He deeply cared about my situation and not just answered my questions comprehensively but also provided me with alternatives. Very grateful!

We hired Scott Pollock close to one year ago. We have a complicated immigration case. Before hiring Scott, we hired different attorneys and consulted with many others (over the past 5 years). We eventually came across Scott D. Pollock and I'm glad we did! Scott is very knowledgeable and he always has a clear explanation for our situation, upcoming steps or any question that we have. Scott and Christina were always fast to respond to our emails and very knowledgeable and clear. They are both very friendly, honest and professional. A pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Scott s firm for immigration needs.

Hugo was very professional throughout the process of my family and i receiving our Permanent Residence. Hugo is very experienced in his field. There were times during the process where we were unsure of the outcome but Hugo's calming presence was always there to make us feel positive about the end result. I would recommend Hugo to anyone looking to make a life for themselves in the United States that is not a current citizen.

Hugo Rojas is an excellent attorney with SDP&A. He worked on my H1-B transfer case on a very short notice and it got approved. Excellent documentation and clear communication were a plus with Hugo. Will love to work with him in future as well.

The Lawyers at this firm were extremely professional and helpful with their legal advice and generous with their time and effort. I highly recommend this Law Firm for fair and effective legal representation.

I am the Human Resources Manager of a small manufacturing company in WI. I have worked with Hugo Rojas for just over a year now and I have had a very enjoyable, stress-free work experience with him and his team. After a career of working with many different legal attorneys, I have easily identified the characteristics that make Hugo and his team standout. What has impressed me the most is his passion for the work he does, the positivity and patience he has with the people/customers he works with, his expertise in the field, and his overall dedication and support for our company! Hugo and his team are efficient, they will always give you a timely response. Most importantly, they will always make the time for you - even if it is last minute! His team will take the time to explain to you in detail the language of a process in an easy to understand way that way any manager can understand when steps get confusing. He honestly makes the process easy! Hugo is forward thinking, makes sure everything is compliant and everything is completed by the deadline. His main goal is to take the work and stress off your shoulders. I would highly recommend Hugo and his team!

I've been a client of this firm for more than 2 years. Scott is extremely knowledgeable and was able to help me at several points through my immigration journey. I would recommend their services to anybody that needs help with immigration law!

I had a consultation yesterday at this immigration office with Christina I had to pay for the consultation upfront and before I go to their office I called and I asked them a straight question if I could transfer my wife's I 130 form from a service center to another service center and SHE SAID NO And I called USCIS this morning and they confirmed by repeating the same information three times if I could transfer my wife's I-30 form from a service center to another and USCIS SAID YES I can and they have the right to accept the transfer or deny it. So I called their office 15 minutes ago and spoke with Christina and I asked her to refund me my $250 consultation and she said no because she thinks she give me helpful information and she did and I respect that but at the same time she gave me false information and did not answer my main question properly and I came in just to get this question's answer because it doesn't have an answer online and she provided me with information that are available easy so that she deserved the consultation money for her Unknowing the law. I recommend you guys to call the USCIS because they help and give you all the answers you need.

We were privileged to have worked with Hugo Rojas while he was with another team here locally in Milwaukee relating to helping one of our team members through a transfer of their immigration process to our company. We found that Hugo and the team at SDP & Associates continued this process without issue; treating our team member and our staff as a person, not just a form/number. The estimates given in terms of time and action along with money was managed appropriately and to a successful outcome.

Such a great experience with Kathryn Weber and the staff! Kathryn is an amazing lawyer, highly professional and knowledgeable, I was represented better than I could have ever imagined! Kathryn went above and beyond during our long process and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome, couldn't have asked for a better attorney! She has an amazing team she can consult with and going in to this process was less scary knowing you are in good hands. Absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs a great lawyer who will get things done and bring amazing results! Thank you Kathryn and team, also Jose, for your hard work and dedication!

I liked their services specially at this time of the year when mostly people are unemployed and they offer free consultation. I really appreciate your time and all answering all of my questions. God bless you all.

Our firm chose Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. to assist one of our partners as we learned from other immigration lawyers the firm is among the best in their understanding of immigration law. We understood they generally have a record of success with even their most difficult and challenging cases. We have been working with Scott and his team to successfully obtain a Green Card for our partner and we felt we were in the best hands.

Scott and his staff have been friendly and warm in their interactions with us. We found their advice to be highly detailed and their recommendations conservative to improve the odds of a successful outcome. They always had up to date insights into the current hot buttons within USCIS.

Based on Scott s high skills and experience in the field, we have felt very confident having him and his staff on our team, and we were confident we could face any challenges.

I had great experience working with this firm. Ms Kathryn Weber helped me with my application. She was very diligent with the process and helped us gather all the documents quickly after I found myself time constrained with the filing deadline. I highly recommend her.

I enthusiastically recommend Scott D Pollock and Associates for immigration cases. Attorney Christina Murdoch provided outstanding immigration support to allow my wife s sister to come to the US for medical treatment and rehabilitation. My wife s sister was diagnosed with oral cancer and she alone with no family in a foreign country. With Attorney Murdoch s help we applied for a visa for medical treatment, but unfortunately the visa was denied. This left my wife having to decide between her sick and likely dying sister in a foreign country and her elderly mother, with dementia and other aliments in US. After the cancer surgery and chemotherapy the sister still needed rehabilitation, additional treatments, and could not care for herself. So with Attorney Murdoch helped us apply for Humanitarian Parole that was successful. The seriously ill sister was able to come to the US so my wife could care of both the sister and her elderly mother. We appreciate the professional and good support from Attorney Murdoch and Scott D Pollock and Associates for all their help to make it possible for us to have meaningful lives again.

Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. are the best immigration law firm that have worked on our immigration cases.

We have worked with Christina Murdoch and Scott Pollock, both excellent, exceptional and gold standard.

Their expertise, meticulous attention to every detail throughout many years of working on our cases, and professionalism made our cases successful. They took charge of our cases, left nothing to chance, and took every step ensure our applications were successful.

They have worked with us many years on F1, F2, Visitor, EB-1 cases, and finally adjustment of status cases. They have worked on multiple cases of our family members. All of them with success.

They have an expert, efficient and very dedicated team. This includes their attorneys, para-legal and support staff.

USCIS process has never been stress free, but with Scott D. Pollock & Associates it came as close to being stress free for us as possible.

Highly recommended without reservations.

At my request, Kathryn Weber took over my case from another law firm that was unable to get results. The contrast in her work, compared to the prior legal counsel was jarring - like night and day. I felt like I was in good hands from day one.

Her understanding of case law, the legal process, and the court system in Chicago were exceptional. Kathryn was passionate, detail-oriented, and great to work with. Her strong reputation within the courts and the opposing counsel s office were an asset.

I m extremely pleased with the outcomes achieved through her hard work. If I ever need legal representation again, she s the one I would go to.

My client needed assistance with an immigration matter, I retained Hugo Rojas and couldn't be happier with the result. My client recently supported an employee's efforts to obtain the almost unobtainable Einstein Visa (EB-1). Hugo worked diligently throughout the process and spent hours with the applicant and staff to not only craft a flawless application, but reassure a nervous employee and his family. In the end, the Visa was approved! He's my first call for complex immigration matters.

Atty Pollock was very patient and polite during my virtual free consultation with him. He showed his willingness to be of help with sincerity by his choice of words and tone of his voice. Very nice and soft- spoken!

Hugo Rojas of Scott D. Pollock & Associates, P.C. is the immigration lawyer who assisted me. He helped my company in preparing the documents for the border in achieving my TN-Visa. He also helped in preparing the documents in applying to the US Dept. of Labor for sponsorship. Everything went fine for he knows the stages/ process and all the legalities needed by the USCIS. When the we apply for the adjustment of status, he also prepared the application for the EAD/ Advance Parole so that I could go in and out of the US. Everything is smooth and easy because he checks and advise the necessary documents before submitting the USCIS Forms. Finally, I got my green card without any interview.

I worked with Christina Murdoch and her Assistant Jessica Murguia for my I-485 case, which was pending for almost twenty months and Christina and her team helped me file a complaint to expedite it. Eventually, they helped me resolve this issue in less than two months.

When I had my first free phone consultation with Christina I was very impressed by how friendly and knowledgeable she was. Christina quickly recommended the best strategy for me. Later, I found that she was not only professional but also very efficient in answering all my queries, which is important for me especially in the pandemic situation. I truly appreciate her help.

I would also like to thank Michael, the firm administrator, and Jessica who have been very friendly and efficient in answering my administrative related questions such as billing and logistics. In general, Christina and her team are very professional and efficient. I highly recommend Scott D. Pollock and Associates to anyone who has immigration issues and wants to resolve them quickly and correctly.

Scott D Pollock & Associates provides high level of immigration services. The lawyers are professional and experienced, even in complicates cases. I can especially recommend Kathryn Weber, who is very engaged and professional. From the first meeting she presented me different scenarios, how the case may go, and was prepared for all the outcomes, with the plan how to proceed further, never giving up. I was very impressed how knowledgeable she is, and at the same time very patient and sensitive to human side of the process.
She is exceptionally dedicated to her job and made every effort so my case is approved :-) Kathryn pays attention to details and plans ahead.
My case was not simple, however ended up successfully thanks to Kathryn. I would recommend her to everyone, who is looking for effective, smart, devoted, and at the same time very nice lawyer.

I just want to share that our experience with Kathryn was great. we initially went to her after being with another Lawyer for about 2 years. However, just having a brief conversation over the phone, made us fill very confident that she would get the job done, even with all the obstacles we were facing. With that said, she was very open and clear with her communication and was was needed of us, and she got the job done. Also, she was the best with preparing us for our interview. I would definitely recommend their services.

After hiring 3 reputable law firms in the past (and consulted with an additional 4) and not having achieved any results (or even with the situation worsened) and with thousands of dollars spent, we were lucky: we found the office by Scott D. Pollock. Our case was quite complex, but Scott did an excellent job not only in understanding small details and complexities in the first call, but also in explaining all possible scenarios and solutions for each of them. Scott and Christina closely followed our case, prepared us for possible results, but what most differentiates them from other lawyers is that they remain very up-to-date with legal information of recent cases that, in our case, was very valuable and led to a solution. . It is a sincere, reliable, compassionate and extremely professional and organized law office. If you have an immigration problem and / or are disappointed with your current lawyer, do not hesitate to contact the office of Scott D. Pollock: He will help you when and where others cannot.

My family and I were helped by attorneys Christina Murdoch and Scott D. Pollock over the last 10 years of immigration journey for my mother, sister and brother to USA under different circumstances and different visa categories.

There are just not enough words to describe how great they are! They are beyond 5 stars. They both are just simply above and beyond!! My entire family has experienced nothing but professional excellency with Scott D. Pollock and Associates!!!

After working with Attorney Murdoch, Attorney Pollock, and all their office staff for more than 10 years, I truly believe & I can say with confidence that Scott D Pollock & Associates is really an excellent immigration law firm! I am not only just satisfied, I am amazed and so impressed with the quality of services and assistance they provide!!

Attorneys Christina Murdoch and Scott D. Pollock are highly professional, knowledgable, very sincere, and honest with their clients. I always found them truly trustworthy, responsible, very quick in responding, and very sensitive to time limits!! Every time they prepared documents and forms I was amazed how much attention they paid to every detail, and how thoroughly and carefully they review before filing. They have excellent communication skills and are very passionate about their client cases. I find their staff very professional, efficient and ethical.

All I can say is that since the very first day we met Attorney Scott D. Pollock and Attorney Christina Murdoch we immediately knew we are in the best hands, and left their office with feeling of peace, trust and great confidence!!! My mother, brother, sister and our entire family believes that we are simply blessed to have found them!!!!

I will never forget that Attorney Murdoch and Attorney Pollock have helped save my sister from being left alone to die from cancer without help in another country. Attorney Murdoch's extraordinary and excellent representation of her case made it possible to get Humanitarian Parole visa! Since then Attorney Murdoch has helped renew the HP visa multiple times successfully and eventually her Permanent Residency in USA!

With Christina's and Scott's help, just 3 days ago my family was blessed with completion and closure of the last of many difficult and complicated immigration cases with USCIS of my mother (citizenship process with complication of dementia and multiple disabilities and I-130 petition for my siblings), sister (Medical Treatment visa, followed by Humanitarian Parole and difficult renewals, then finally Permanent Residency), and my brother (successful visitor's visa with difficult and complicated immigration history, followed by F1 Student visa, then H1 work visa, and finally EB1 visa and Permanent Residency just last week)!!!

In-A-Nutshell, I trust them so much that I can say with confidence, if one is in need of help with any Immigration matter, I pray and wish that they find their way to Scott D Pollock and Associates!

Anne Relias was wonderful. Detailed oriented, caring and sharp. She was ready for all obstacles. Helped me get my green card although the case was difficult and should have taken much longer with a different lawyer. Would recommend her to anyone who needs immigration help!

Hugo guided our family through every step of our complicated case. He was supportive and showed compassion during every step of the way. No one could help us until Hugo and his professional team took our case. We appreciate his hard work and dedication. We are forever grateful.

I had a consultation with Christina Murdoch, regarding my visa, and changing my status from F-1 to whichever will work.
First of all, they made me pay for consultation in advance.
Second, miss Christina was late 35 min, I was scheduled at 3pm she showed up at 3:35 pm, which put me in unconfident situation since I left work earlier and drove from Countryside to downtown.
Third, I heard from miss Christina nothing but what I read on google. Her willingness to help me was equal to 0 (ZERO) and she advised me to go back home and find a multinational company which would sponsor my H1B visa. Really!?!
Fourth, they did not validate my parking, so I had to pay an extra $40.
Also, miss Christina told me if they were to work on my case they would ask for $5000 upfront, and that would not be final amount of charges?! What case when you did not tell me what to do but to go back home.
As a friend referred them to me I really expected they would have to say something helpful, but seems like I spent time and money for NOTHING.

I have been working with Mr. Rojas and his team for approximately 4 months on our legal cases. I am extremely pleased with their attention to detail and timeliness of our at time, urgent requests. I look forward to a continued professional working relationship with Mr. Rojas and team for years to come.

Christina Murdoch was so helpful and compassionate during our immigration issue. Within minutes, you know Christina is a very skilled and equally caring attorney! OUTSTANDING! Michael was our first contact at the firm and he was patient, professional and very helpful!

I am involved in looking for a new priest for our church, and one of our candidates is from the UK and so presents immigration issues. I was referred to Scott Pollock from two independent sources. Scott offered me a concise overview of the relevant immigration process, outlining two possible avenues we could follow. He gave me an estimate of the costs of government fees and legal fees, as well as an estimated timeline. Scott was knowledgeable, thorough and courteous. Thanks to Scott, I can go back to my church with information about the immigration process that is critical to our decision. If we decide to go forward with this candidate, we will be sure to employ the Scott Pollock firm to assist us.

To start off Mr. Pollock is by far the best Immigration Attorney in all of Chicago and Illinois that speaks Spanish and was perfect for our family. First, before taking our case we had a consultation, and indicated he would be able to take our case to represent our family. As our case took place back in 2012 it was a very complicated since we were in DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS nevertheless Mr. Pollock managed to resolve our case. Because of his philosophy "Immigration lawyers occupy a peculiar space where, often, government practices are not policies, policies are not rules, rules are not law, and both rules and law seem to be dispensed with, with hardly a second thought." He helped my father and myself get our green card along with my mothers work permit. I can now say thanks to Mr. Pollock I served in the US Marine Corps and was just recently Honorably Discharged. Along with that thanks to Mr. Pollock my father recently became a US Citizen along with myself through my military service. THANK YOU MR. POLLOCK FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO IMMIGRANT FAMILIES!!!!!!!!!

So, we messed up our Removal of Conditions applica...

So, we messed up our Removal of Conditions application and received the dreaded RFE. When we put that application together it was very last minute and rushed because I procrastinated. Anything to do with USCIS stresses me out and I tend to bury my head in the sand. I decided to retain a lawyer as I didn't want to mess up again for the RFE. I shopped around for a bit. When I consulted with another lawyer that was highly recommended to us by a friend, he offered an affordable flat rate fee but he had made me feel like there was a good chance we wouldn't get approved because of circumstances that don't fit the mold of a traditional marriage. e.g. we don't file our taxes jointly, and I'm not on the deed of our condo. That consultation left me feeling nervous and had me catastrophizing future scenarios where I would get deported, my wife would only be able to visit me once a year resulting in the deterioration and ruin of our marriage, my dog would have to remain in the states because I would never risk him dying in cargo on a 20 hour plane ride, that I would never get to hug most of my friends and family again etc, etc.

After that consultation I had one set up with Scott who was highly recommended to me by a lawyer I work with at my work. This phone call was vastly different. We went over the same issues as the other lawyer but he made it seem like these were just small hurdles and as long as we could explain them, then USCIS would be satisfied. I ended the phone call at ease, hopeful and confident that our application would go through just fine. Because of this, I decided to go with this firm.

Christina Murdoch and her assistant Araceli were assigned to my file. I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work I received from them. They were both super professional, extremely responsive and patient with me. Once again, my anxiety got the best of me and I stuck my head in the sand. Thankfully, Araceli checked one me often and nudged me along the way in a pleasant manner. With my wife's help, we were able to send over our evidence to Christina and Araceli a month before the USCIS deadline (totally unheard of from me who waits until the very last minute for everything!). The file they compiled for us was thorough and well put together. It was overnighted to USCIS and seven days later we found out our file was approved! And another week later my green card was delivered.

In short, I highly recommend this firm and I'm so thankful to Christina and Araceli for all of their work, patience and kindness.
