We came across an unexpected complication in our immigration case and turned to John's practice for legal counsel. Our case has been successfully resolved but it took a lot of stress, uncertainty, fear, and frustration. Only thanks to John and his team we were able to manage these unsettling emotions and do the hard work that needed to be done to win the case. Besides the extensive legal expertise and knowledge of the immigration office in Honolulu, John showed us an unprecedented commitment to our case and belief in our success despite the setbacks and the unknowns. He responded to all our concerns in depth and in a timely manner, even met with us on a Sunday to accommodate our schedule. John's legal briefs demonstrated thorough knowledge of the law and the current immigration policies, his professional integrity, strong analytical skills and acute understanding of the nature of the argument made by the immigration services. The financial aspect of the agreement is very transparent, without unexpected surprises. John makes sure he sees the services you've paid for through to the end, and the cost is very moderate for the care you receive. In short, if you have any irregularities in your immigration case, turn to Migration Counsel for guidance and peace of mind. read more

Our initial contact with John was by a (free) phone consultation. As a same sex couple we had many questions regarding the best way to have my now husband join me in the United States and to settle in Hawaii. We were very impressed with John and knew immediately that he would be the right immigration lawyer for us. John's answers to our questions gave us an immediate positive impression of his knowledge, professionalism and many years of experience in immigration law. John also is personable and has a good sense of humor which made us feel comfortable and confident that John would have the best approach to ensure a positive outcome, which is for my husband and I to settle on the Big Island together. The entire process was very well organized with checklists and ensuring all forms and documents were appropriately completed. John promptly replied to our emails and phone calls. We were informed of our appointments and what to expect during our USCIS interview. John has a wonderful ability to provide encouragement and make us feel at ease during the entire process. We were very fortunate that he represented us in the Green Card (adjustment of status) process. After four months process, we are now able to enjoy our lives together in Hawaii. read more

Choosing Mr. Egan was the result of consulting several immigration attorneys. His friendly and welcoming personality personified the Aloha Spirit. I am MORE than pleased with my decision to go with him, and Migration Counsel. Mr. Egan was the immigration attorney who processed my fiancé visa from beginning to end. Our situation included several unusual circumstances which were handled very well. He stood by us all the way, keeping us informed of upcoming events and how to prepare for them (as well as what to expect). Everything he did was done with Aloha, and genuine care for our concerns. In retrospect, I am in awe at how fast the process was, from interviewing and obtaining the services of Mr. Egan to now being happily married within a year*. I firmly believe that this would not have happened so smoothly had I chosen a different attorney. One thing I've learned from this process is to not always trust what you read online, or hear from people who really have no basis for their statements. Go to a knowledgeable professional. One with Aloha. John Robert Egan, AAL with Migration Counsel. *timeline based on my personal situation, which may vary based upon your own situation. read more

I would recommend Migration Counsel, and specifically Daryl for any and all Immigration matters. I was living on Maui at the time and found Daryl with a google search. I must say from first contact till case completion I found Daryl to be first rate and very approachable. We started off the process while I lived on Maui and having moved back to the mainland contact was still top notch. We did come across a bit of an issue as having moved to Montana caused a little bit of confusion with immigration. Daryl put forth precedents and a strong argument for me to be sworn in on the day of my interview, but the agency has final word and they referred me to Montana, this glitch showed me that Daryl really cares about his clients and will do anything in his power to get the right result. in conclusion I could not have been more happy with Daryl and the top notch service he supplies. Thank you read more

My immigration case was very complicated, the process took almost 1 year. Daryl Takeno took my case after two different attorneys recommended that I would wait one more year before attempting to apply for citizenship. Daryl took his time to understand my case and went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to reach every time I had a question or concern about my case and last month I finally got my citizenship. Daryl is an excellent attorney and I definably recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable and knowledgeable attorney. Thank you Daryl . read more
