We are incredibly grateful to David M. Gottfried for everything he did for us throughout our…read moreimmigration process. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. Whenever we had a question or needed guidance, he answered our calls and emails promptly and made us feel supported every step of the way. Everything was handled efficiently, and the entire process went much more smoothly than we expected. David gave us confidence and peace of mind during such an important time in our lives. His attention to detail, honesty, and dedication truly set him apart. It is rare to find an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend David M. Gottfried to anyone looking for an outstanding immigration attorney. Thank you for making this journey so much easier for us! Jelena&Richard

David is the immigration attorney equivalent of an old-school M.D. who made house calls -- he…read more*personally* steers his clients through each step of a complex (and ever-changing) government bureaucracy with expert precision (David filed our application in late April 2025 and my husband received his 10-year permanent residency card in early August 2025). His deep (almost innate) knowledge of the INA and years of experience with USCIS have made him a pro at identifying potential red flags -- and addressing issues before they had a chance to derail our application. To anyone looking for an NYC immigration lawyer, David is simply the best and we are grateful every day that a friend recommended him to us. Prior to David, we "interviewed" multiple immigration law firms. As soon as the video call with the firm's star attorney ended, it was clear that our case would be handed off to firm's assistants and paralegals (for an astronomical price). With David, we had the opposite experience -- he was personally involved from day one and guided us through each step himself. When my husband is eligible to become an American citizen in 2028, David will be our first -- and only -- call.

I scheduled and paid for a consultation based on the representation that I would be meeting with a…read morespecific attorney. When I arrived, I was informed--without any prior notice--that the consultation would instead be conducted by a different partner. I was also told the consultation would be 15 minutes, despite previously understanding it to be 30 minutes. When I expressed that I was only interested in meeting with the attorney I originally booked the consultation with, I was then told that doing so would require paying an additional $100, raising the consultation fee from $100 to $200. At that point, due to the lack of transparency around who I was meeting with, the consultation length, and the fee structure, I felt uncomfortable proceeding and requested a refund, which was granted. This review is not about the attorneys' legal ability, but about the intake and consultation process. Switching attorneys without advance disclosure and changing terms after arrival is not a professional experience, particularly for clients dealing with sensitive family law matters. I hope the firm improves its intake communication and transparency for future clients.

This place is a disaster, hiding behind years of bad habits and an outdated reputation…read more My husband had an extremely disappointing experience with this immigration law firm. Their handling of his citizenship application was unprofessional and disorganized, marked by unnecessary delays, additional fees (including a ludicrous "argument fee" after a particularly concerning interaction with a paralegal who displayed a contemptuous attitude, condescendingly addressing my husband in a manner that was both offensive and unacceptable.) Despite fulfilling all requests, including a costly trip to Ecuador for the required documentation, we faced avoidable complications and disrespectful behavior from staff. Frustrated by this firm's lack of competence, we terminated the contract. While we accepted their unreasonable $400 termination fee, the audacity of adding a further $25 "argument fee" for him simply asserting respect was beyond belief. Latinos: you deserve to be treated with dignity, professionalism, and respect! Save yourself the headache and find a firm that actually values its clients. Do better. They sure as hell won't.

LADIES: Words truly cannot describe how incredible of a woman and an attorney she is. From the very…read morebeginning, she has been someone I could count on when I felt like I had absolutely nowhere else to turn. She is intelligent, compassionate, fierce, and genuinely cares about the people she represents. She doesn't just make you feel like another client -- she makes you feel heard, protected, and like someone is actually in your corner. Knowing I could reach out to her gave me a sense of security when I desperately needed it. She is a GIRLS GIRL, through and through. One thing that has stuck with me to this day, she immediately understood where I was coming from when I cried in that office and told her I just wanted to live without being the default "bad guy" because of my appearance and profession. (I was a model and a Gogo dancer at the time) where other attorneys were ALWAYS passive and victim -blaming , she gave me assurance that I wasn't crazy. I was being gaslit. She has a strong sense of reading and understanding human behavior. I couldn't find the words to describe how I feel in a room full of average people because of how I look. She assured me that I AM often mistreated because of the way that I look -and I know how that sounds silly and I know that sounds vapid, but -it's true. I really needed a woman like her at a time like that to tell me I was not crazy. To assure me that I WAS being singled out and cornered. I used to make myself small because I didn't want to intimidate people with the way that I look. Now, knowing that I could call Miss Baines if I'm ever cornered, I don't feel So small. She taught me to stick up for myself. I am beyond grateful for her, not only for the incredible lawyer she is, but for the incredible woman she is. If you are looking for someone who will fight for you, advocate for you, and treat you like a human being rather than a case number, I cannot recommend her enough. Five stars honestly don't feel like enough. A bajillion stars. She's beautiful inside and out, I recommend her to every WOMAN that I know who feels cornered by an abusive man. This is your lawyer!! Trust me. This is exactly who you want on your team.
