McCown And Evans LLP

Really beyond expectation services! They are knowledgeable, efficient and nice. Nothing else I would expect from an immigration attorney!

I contacted McCown & Evans for a consultation. Erin was very professional, knowledgeable, and got back to me quickly to set up a call. She provided a clear explanation of my options and made me feel confident about the process. Highly recommended!

As a foreigner, I found the US immigration process absolutely daunting. Jeptha, Erin, Hyung and everyone at McCown and Evans were incredibly helpful with my case. They were always a phone call or email away, they took all the needed time to answer my many questions, they took ownership of the entire process and ultimately got me and my wife through the finish line.
I’m immensely thankful to everyone for their help, their patience, their candor and their hard work. I highly recommend McCown and Evans!

McCowan and Evans LLP showed a deep knowledge of the law, especially with the complicated immigration and custom policies. From the first day at our meeting, I was treated with such respect and they immediately went into the facts of my case. They are proficient in the language of the law, very personal, very helpful, excellent in presenting my situation and proceeded to the very next step of what must be done. They were impressively expedient and made it very clear that they were very optimistic of the case and proceeded immediately to the different forms that had to be filled in order to expedite the application swiftly and smoothly.
They answered my questions so patiently and clearly that I left the meeting feeling validated, that I meant something and I was moved by their sense of humanity and an astounding understanding of the difficult intricacies of human situations in life with the law. I knew I had an extended group of people who were looking out for me.
As everything unfolded as all things must, my relationship with Jeptha Evans who handled my case and the receptionists, the paralegals and the person who answered all my phone calls
was warm and receptive and even caring. My calls were returned immediately, my e-​mails were responded swiftly and my concerns were always reminded by them that the process was going as well as it could be. I was able to let go of all my worries.
Now, I have a green card, I am happy to say that I am starting to thrive in life.
I was the happiest guy in the world when the document arrived.
McCown and Evans LLP encouraged me when I was feeling unsure. Their patience, their care, their encouragement, their support and their acknowledgement of me as a person was invaluable help to me when I needed it most.
I recommend McCown and Evans LLP without any hesitation. They can be your extended family when you need it most with your legal dilemma.
They are first-​class.
And I thank them!

I have worked in a few companies and had a chance to work with various lawyers related to immigration. With no hesitation, I can tell that Kelly and her colleagues have the most diverse and deep knowhow and experience when it comes to immigration rules and regulations. Even some of the other lawyers I have worked mentioned that.
Immigration processes are long and consist of many hard to grasp concepts and flows. Kelly and her team helped me in all these steps and answered all my questions with lots of patience in it. I really appreciate all the great help provided by them and definitely suggest any individual or business to work with them when it comes to immigration applications and consulting.

My case was referred to McCown and Evans LLP about a month ago.
Without providing too many details I can mention that mine was a very complicated case related to H1B.
After I spoke to Kelly for the first time I realized I am in good hands and also the work done by her and her team (including paralegal) just reflected this fact.
Some highlights:
— Team members were very responsive (be it phone calls or emails).
— Detailed explanation was provided as to why they were doing what they were doing
— Kelly and her team were not only well prepared for the worst case but also creative in their approach in handling my case.
As far as the results were concerned — My H1B was finally approved without RFE.
In a nut shell–
I highly recommend Kelly McCown and her team and Kelly truly is a super lawyer!

Kelly and her team were great to work with, they helped me secure my marriage based green card. Navigating the immigration process is daunting, Kelly in particular was very knowledgeable about the process, friendly and easy to work with. There was a lot of work gathering supporting documentation on my part, (hard rounding things up when you’ve been abroad for a decade) along with the many questions to Kelly and her team as I would ask questions about what I needed. They were always patient and informative.
Kelly outlined the process and the timeline of our application along the interview process and everything unfolded just as she had explained. Needless to say, we were successful in our application and I continue to use Kelly today.

Moving to a new country is enough of a stress without having to worry about immigration issues. My NGO, the Snow Leopard Conservancy, hired Kelly’s team to deal with my and my family’s immigration issues. Needless to say all went smooth as clockwork. Thanks for the brilliant job, now to focus on saving snow leopards!

Kelly and Hyung did a great job dealing with my spouses immigration process. They were very responsive to my emails and phone calls. They are extremely knowledgeable about the whole process and could answer any question I had. When I was stressed during the process they reassured me everything would work out. I would highly recommend their services.

Everyone I’ve dealt with at McCown & Evans has been brilliant. Their paralegals are efficient, and the actual attorney I dealt with patient and provides great, clear advice. I was treated like a human being and not a source of income. A nice lawyer – who would have thought?

My immigration case is still under process, so this comment is basically based on my initial months of green card process with them, not on the final results.
I was recommended to McCown and Evans by a personal friend of mine on their resourcefulness, and I had somewhat high expectations in the beginning. Unfortunately, after a few months of contacts, I have to second what many people have mentioned here — this firm is super slow in responding to emails and calls and moving the process forward, which is very different from another law firm I used before for my working VISA. It’s very disappointing and I’m starting to feel I may have contacted the wrong firm for my case.
Questions through emails never get answered in the first week, the second week you follow-​up, they simply respond by «I will check». Then you are lucky if you get another response in the third or fourth week. The paralegals seem useless as well, they did nothing to speed up the process or ensure there is a smooth information flow between the client and the lawyer, worse of all they did not even sent a single «acknowledgement of receiving your email» type of note.
I sincerely hope this situation will get better as my case more forward. I chose them because they promised a slightly shorter time in getting the green card than other law firms, but it seems it might not be the case after all.

I had originally been referred to McCown and Evans by attorney friend of mine. Meeting with Kelly was very nice, and they agreed to take on my girlfriend and my case to get married and process a green card application. I had told Kelly upfront that we would not be getting married right away, and that we would need some time to collect the papers as my girlfriend was going to be out of the country for a month or so. She had said that would be fine when I described the time frame. I prepaid the flat fee and figured I was set and in good hands.
Fast forward to a week ago, when I contacted McCown & Evans to ask some questions about the timing of filing our application. Our situation got a little more complicated as my girlfriend mislplaced her passport. I was told Ms. McCown was out of the office on a personal emergency after I called after my emails were not responded to. I was told I’d get a call back from the paralegal handling my case. No call ever came.
I contacted the office again on the day Kelly was set to return, and I was told she had already left for the day to attend a seminar. I then contacted the paralegal who said he’d talk to the lawyer soon.
The next day no contact again, and I contacted the paralegal again who said he was discussing with the laywer at that very moment. Three hours passed and I contacted the office again, and was told again that we’d have a response shortly. I said, thanks.
I got answers to many of my questions in the form of an email, which was great! Not so great is that it was 8 days after I initially contacted them. I responded thank you and said we’d be working on filing a police report for the lost passport the next day and would send things as soon as we could.
I got an email this morning from Kelly stating they were terminating their representation of us. No explanation was offered, and when I inquired about why I was being terminated I was told that she did not want to discuss it. Now I am going to have to scramble to find another law firm since this one dumped me.
Maybe I am just a legal rookie, maybe my case was complicated, maybe there was some deadline I wasn’t aware of, maybe she just didn’t like the cut of my jib. I have no clue, and I’ll never know, because she won’t tell me.
Stay away.

Kelly McCown and the overall team of McCown and Evans LLP did a great job as my immigration lawyers.
Obtaining my H1-​B VISA was effortless with their help since they took care of all the paperwork and I was just required to sign and review their job.
We were referred to them by one of our client who has been working with them and a personal friend of mine. Both of them have been having a good experience with the company.
I totally recommend them because they know what they are doing.

my employer switched from VisaNow to McCown and Evans and it’s been horrible. They never respond to your emails. It takes them weeks to do what the guys at VisaNow would do in a day.
I dont know the reasons why we changed law firm, maybe these guys are way cheaper because of the bad service they provide
