Adam and his team at Gibbs Houston Pauw have been fantastic to work with. My wife and I had been working with another firm before getting assistance from GHP. From the moment Adam took over hes been extremely timely in correspondence and work behind the scenes with USCIS and the Attorney Generals Office. As a military member I was concerned being deployed while my wife and I were waiting on her I-485. However, Adam and his team alleviated all those concerns. What i couldn't get accomplished in over 2 years Adam took care of in less than 5 months. If you are considering assistance from a law firm i would strongly recommend Adam and his team at Gibbs Houston Pauw

Its never enjoyable to provide a review less than 5 star as I believe its important to be able to share good and positive light when they come. Yet sadly this firm was the opposite of that. I communicated with them through email and then calls and they would request for personal info, which was provided. For 8+ days, crickets. Then after 3 follow up emails, I a response was shared "I will send you confirmation by end of day." And then again... silence. After 3 follow up messages, and 10 days later, shares another blanet message that says for an appointment in 1 month. I replied back committing for the call. No reply for another 13 days. And then after following up. Theres been nothing still. Its been over 2 months. I believe its important for anyone that is considering this law firm to receive what an honest scenario would look like, that way if it came down between this firm or a different one, this one will likely be less reliable, less communicative, and less respectful.

Worked with this law firm for my family immigration filings. Jason was the paralegal that was assigned to our case. It's already a daunting process, but Jason was extremely great at staying in touch. He always returned my calls/emails. That to me was everything as sometimes its just that reassurance you need. He was kind, professional and went above and beyond in ensuring proper coordination with all agencies. He deserves the top bonus at the firm. Still referring him and Adam on anyone that asks for an immiration attorney.

I have been a client of Gibbs since 2016. I initially applied for asylum with Robert, but a few years later I was informed that he had retired and that I could choose between two attorneys to continue representing me. After carefully reading both of their biographies, I chose Adam Boyd. From the beginning, Adam was knowledgeable, professional, and confident, which is exactly what you want in an attorney. A few years later, we decided to file a mandamus lawsuit. I consulted with other attorneys as well, and many of them advised against it, leaving me feeling uncertain and fearful. Adam, however, clearly explained the strategy, outlined the potential risks, and set realistic expectations. His confidence gave me confidence and hope throughout the process. He also took the time to prepare me thoroughly for my asylum interview. After getting to know me and understanding my case, he provided valuable insights and guidance that helped me feel ready. I also want to thank Anastasia for her patience and kindness, especially during some of the most stressful moments of this journey, and Kelly for her responsiveness and timely communication. Their support made a real difference. After a 10-year journey, my asylum was finally granted. I couldn't be more grateful to the entire team at Gibbs for their dedication and support. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and skilled legal representation. I look forward to continuing to work with them when I become eligible to apply for my green card and, eventually, my U.S. citizenship.
