Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A.

Consultation with Former Judge David Kwangsoo Kim I paid $500 for a one-hour consultation with former judge David Kwangsoo Kim regarding my immigration case. I sent all of my case documents in advance, but during the consultation, it felt like he had not reviewed or understood my materials at all. There was no sign of preparation. Because of his background as a former judge, I expected deeper insight and a different perspective than what typical immigration attorneys provide. However, the consultation was very superficial, with little practical strategy or concrete guidance. In fact, it felt less helpful than consultations I’ve had with immigration attorneys who charge $100–$150 per hour. In particular, his understanding of current immigration practice and practical, hands-on experience seemed quite limited. Most of the consultation focused on negative statements like “it will be difficult” or “it may not work,” without offering realistic options or strategic direction. Overall, the value did not justify the cost. After the session, I shared my concerns about the lack of substance for a $500/hour consultation. I was told that his usual rate is $1,000 per hour and that $500 was a “discount.” However, regardless of the stated rate, the level of preparation, depth of analysis, and practical expertise did not feel appropriate for such a high fee. I went in expecting meaningful insight because of his former judge title, but the experience was disappointing.

I am so grateful for attorneys Heather Roberts and Helena Tetzeli. I had a very complicated case, but they both navigated the process meticulously and got me the best result possible. They communicated regularly and were very honest and upfront about the costs and didn't bill me later for more money as other attorneys have tried to in the past. I have since referred two other people to their firm and if anyone is reading this, I highly recommend this firm to you. Thank you again, Heather and Helena!

Thank you to the firm for an incredible, transparent, and trustworthy partnership on my family’s journey to obtaining green card status! The process was super simple and easy. Odalys is a super star associate that was super hands-on with our legal needs and was always early to provide guidance. In this age of high scrutiny around immigration, Mrs. Tetzeli and team is the strategic edge families need. 10/10 service.

I retained John Pratt for a marriage-based immigration case and ended up switching to a new lawyer after about four months. Thankfully, my new attorney successfully obtained my green card. Here are some of the major issues I experienced: 1. Lack of progress and multiple errors: After nearly four months, there was little to no progress on my case, and I discovered several mistakes in the application materials they prepared. (As a recent law school graduate myself, I was able to identify these errors.) 2. Overpriced for the quality of service: The firm charged well above the market rate, which I initially assumed reflected higher-quality legal work—but that was not the case. They were slow to respond to questions, unhelpful on key issues, and overall did not provide competent representation. 3. Issues with refund process: When I terminated the contract, it took nearly a month to receive my refund because they repeatedly made errors with my bank information. They never apologized and even attempted to place the blame on me, despite my providing correct details. 4. Refusal to provide work product: Upon termination, I requested copies of all work product related to my case. The firm refused, claiming ownership of the documents. This is inconsistent with professional responsibility rules, which make clear that clients are entitled to their own case files. Overall, I would not recommend this firm based on my experience.

Taylor Alicia Hill is an incredible attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable and will go out of her way for you to get you the information needed to win your case. She is very savvy and understands the law better than most attorneys. She will not sugarcoat the merits of your case and if she cannot help you she will point you in the direction of who can. Do not hesitate to get a heavy hitter like her on your side. Thank you so much Taylor!

I am deeply grateful to my immigration attorneys Keven Gregg, Elizabeth Montano, and John Pratt, for helping my family through a complex and emotionally challenging immigration process. We were facing a difficult family-based green card case, and from the very beginning, they provided expert legal guidance, clear communication, and genuine compassion. They accompanied us to the green card interviews, ensuring we were fully prepared and supported throughout the process. When our case encountered unexpected issues — including a flawed initial decision by USCIS — our attorney didn’t give up. They thoroughly reviewed the case, prepared a strong appeal through AAO, and stood by us every step of the way. They prepared extremely high-quality legal documentation — thorough, well-organized, and tailored specifically to the unique details of our situation. Their attention to detail made a clear difference in the final decision. Thanks to their dedication, professionalism, and deep knowledge of immigration law, we were able to resolve the situation and finally achieve a positive outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone navigating complex immigration challenges.

It is RARE that you find a professional who is not only competent but passionate about what they do. Odalys was extremely detailed, professional, responsive, and experienced. She stayed with us throughout our entire process and was responsive every step of the way, including the interview. Thank you for all of your assistance, care, professionalism, and initiative. This is an all-star law firm, and I highly recommend their immigration services.

To be candid, the experience left us feeling not only disheartened but also questioning the value of the meeting altogether. The attorney arrived 15 minutes late and did not engage with us for the full hour we had scheduled. More importantly, throughout the meeting, there was a consistent lack of empathy and helpfulness. Every time we asked a question, the response was along the lines of: “If you hired me, I’d do this, but that comes at a cost $20,000.” It felt less like a consultation and more like a sales pitch. We came to the meeting as a working family, seeking at least a basic level of guidance in exchange for the fee we paid. Instead, we were met with transactional responses that left us demoralized and without any real sense of direction. We understand that legal services come at a cost, but a consultation should offer at least some foundational advice or reassurance. What we received felt cold, dismissive, and not reflective of the professionalism we had hoped for. We left the meeting feeling like we had wasted our money, and worse, our hope. I hope you’ll take this feedback seriously, as we believe no family should walk away from a legal consultation feeling more confused, disappointed, and discouraged than when they arrived. This is a serious issue, not a sales pitch.

We are very grateful with KKTP for taking on our case and helping us fulfill our dream of becoming legal residents of this great country that welcomed us 25 years ago. Thank you, Attorney Clayton, for helping us and walking with us through this process. Thank you for giving hope to many families who are currently stuck between a rock and a hard place. God bless you and may you continue to be instruments of justice in every case that comes to your office. I recommend this Law Office KKTP

We are very grateful with the attorneys Odalys, Clayton and Elizabeth for supporting and working so hard in our successful case. Congratulations also to them! We are very happy and blessed with Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt's support and its wonderful team! We are citizens now and we are very happy for being.

We are a family that emigrated to the United States due to the insecurity in our country, El Salvador. We were assisted by the law firm of Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt with our asylum case. We are grateful to the attorneys David A. Called, Jessie Marie, Odalys Villa, and especially to Helena Tetzeli, whose experience in this area helped us obtain favorable results for my family. We are truly grateful for all the work they did on our case. God bless everyone at the law firm of Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt.

I am extremely grateful to the entire team at KKtplaw Attorneys at Law specially John Pratt and Edward Ramos for their exceptional work on my EB-5 immigration case. From the beginning, they approached my case with professionalism, integrity, and a deep understanding of the complexities involved in the EB-5 process. The firm conducted a thorough audit of my investment documentation and ensured every detail was aligned with USCIS requirements. Their meticulous attention to detail and strategic guidance throughout the process gave me confidence and peace of mind. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my case was approved — a result that would not have been possible without their support. I highly recommend KKtplaw Attorneys at Law to anyone navigating the EB-5 immigration process or any other complex immigration matters. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and commitment to client success truly set them apart.

I am very grateful for their work on my immigration case. They helped me track my green card and citizenship applications. They were always attentive to my calls and kept me updated on the progress of my case. Everything was resolved in a timely manner, and I received excellent advice for my interviews. I will always recommend them.

My relationship with KKTP began with my application for a U.S. immigrant visa when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and ended just a few days ago with me becoming a naturalized citizen of the U.S. I cannot adequately express in words my gratitude for the incredible legal support and guidance I received from them during this journey. Yes, I probably could have navigated the applications myself and saved some money. I’m confident, however, that it was absolutely the correct decision to use KKTP. Their expert guidance ensured that I didn’t have to second guess what U.S. immigration laws required of me when submitting my applications and attending my interviews, and that I could thus avoid making any inevitable mistakes along the way that likely come with self-representation. I am thankful to Heather Roberts, in particular, but also Clayton Oates, for their flawless representation.

The Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt team fought my case for years before USCIS, and, when it became necessary, in federal court. The agency did not want to listen. The team did everything they could to win a U.S. citizenship case that I have been fighting, in some form, since 1996. Attorney Ira Kurzban is not just an experienced lawyer, he is an ACE in every aspect of immigration matters. Attorney Ira personally dove into my case to find solutions. I am very happy with their services, and am pleased to say that I am now finally a U.S. citizen thanks to their efforts! Ira’s partner Attorney Kevin A. Gregg took my case very seriously as he narrowed down the issues, researched to get positive results, and kept fighting. Kevin’s personal touch with detail on my case (for years) resulted in a very favorable decision from a federal judge in Florida, which turned the table for USCIS to settle the case. Attorney Kevin negotiated with US attorneys for the settlement. I have great respect for our country and the State Department and Department of Homeland Security. At the end of the day, having a great law firm on my side brought closure to my case, and helped the agencies see the truth. I was persistent and understanding of our judicial system. I have gone through several one-on-one interviews with State Department and USCIS, with over 1000 pages of documents submitted. Finally, in January 2025, I took the oath and officially became a U.S. Citizen. This put an end to my 35 years of struggle. I stayed steadfast in my belief and fought tirelessly through the legal system. KKTP stayed with me as I tried to then obtain a U.S. passport. After attending an interview in Miami, it appeared that my application was put on hold. This is when Ira’s Partner Attorney Carl Risch from the Washington D.C. office jumped in. Attorney Carl Risch was able to get everything fixed. I finally received my U.S. Passport in February 2025. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart at Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A I am very pleased with your representation, commitment, and I highly and strongly recommend your firm to anyone for any hard to solve complex cases.

Terrible Experience – Very Aggressive and Unhelpful I had a very disappointing experience with this firm. She was extremely aggressive in her communication and made me feel uncomfortable throughout the entire process. It was clear that she had no interest in helping me and seemed annoyed whenever I asked questions or needed clarification. I went in expecting professional guidance but was met with hostility and a complete lack of empathy. I wouldn’t recommend this lawyer to anyone looking for genuine support and assistance.

Phenomenal! It was like watching a good movie. The prepare, they practice, and they execute. From the beginning of the case all the way to jury verdict. They Fight! Fight! Fight! for you, leaving no stone unturned They win Big! My Verdict was $6.1 million for medical malpractice. Failure to diagnose & timely treat kidney disease. They deliver life changing awards.
